The temps have been very cold here the last week and the lakes are starting to freeze over. I was joined by a fellow board member Ben and we headed out for a fish. We found 4-5" of good black ice. This is just a small lake that froze over last weekend.

We ended with 2 pike and they were caught on a Fat Boy micro jig and a waxie. We are treking out tomorrow and giving it another shot.

Cheers

Excellent report and pics!!! Those pics make it look like it's a tad on the chilly side up there?... and it doesn't look like you've got enough clothes on to me, if that was me up there... I'd look like the Michelin Man trimmed in Coyote fur! :ph34r::ph34r::ph34r:

Ah.. Sweet! It was a pleasure getting out with you today IW28. Maybe tomorrow I can even catch a fish :)

 

At least it was a good day to dust off the old ice gear and break in some new equipment.

 

Should also mention we scouted a few other lakes in the North Bay area and they were a NO GO! 2+ inches on the first hole close to shore so we stayed off.

How many inches up there?

 

 

You're talking about ice right? lol.

 

We punched a hole in a bay on Trout lake and it was only about 2" so we left it be. The lake we did fish on had 3-5" depending on what part of the lake. Nice solid ice for the most part too.

 

TechnaGirl - hopefully you can figure out how to use the Auger cause you're punchin your own holes tomorrow!

Made it out today with IceWalker28 and trapshooter... 1st time icefishing for me ever! We had a blast, it took me a while but I finally learned that each person gets their own hole to fish through! Who would have thought!? I had a nibble, Ben lost his lure (Pike bit it off), but we didn't catch anything..... maybe next time!

Here's me gettin a line in the water...
