limeyangler Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi all, got out yesterday again. apart from one bite....which i missed....SKUNKED! Did get to meet another member of a local fishing forum who is working in our area for the time being. He was there before me and had landed 2 pike. We chatted about this and that eagerly awaiting the evening bite which is usually pretty decent on this lake...it came and went......and so did we. we would have moved around a bit more if it wasn't for the temperatures. There was a 15kmh wind gusting to 25-30, with the thermometer hovering just above minus 30 by the evening, Windchill in the -40s.......BRRRRRRRRRRRRR. GOT TO MEET PAUL... BEAUTIFUL EVENING , JUST NO FISH AND FREEKIN FREEZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

limeyangler Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 how thick is the ice out there now? I envy you right now....its close to game on here...but a little sketchy still I think i can see snowmobile tracks this morning out the front on the lake. Its been -30 C at night for the last 5 days at leaqst. yesterday the lake we were on was 'booming'...scares the cr@p outta ya...but its making ice. I'm actually surprised theree is not more ice thickness, but i'd say apart from the deeper trout lakes round here we are at an average of 5-6" evrywhere else. Still not comfortable just walking out without checking as i go....but will be able to do so by next weekend for sure...i'tll be good for snowmachines by midweek.

Leecher Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 No ice yet around here I just can't wait to go out. It's been below zero the last 5 days but not much ice building up. Love the evening shot Thanks for sharing Simon!!! Jacques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
