muskeybugged Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Drilled 50 + holes..... covered many different depths. Did catch anything, didn't mark anything....Not even a bite. nothing gets me more then a panfish skunk... Where'd they go? How'd you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone_fishin Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 nothing gets me more then a panfish skunk... i think that's part of the reason why i don't really want to try ice fishing the kawarthas. lol. panfish skunkings are the worst!

Sinker Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Don't feel bad, this weather can't help. I haven't even drilled a hole yet.......I see no reason to go out in this cold and try for them, when I know they're going to be shut down. I'm going to wait until we get a break, then pound them!!

cowanjo Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I fished little bald lake off Pigeon. I got to tell you drilled 11 holes (not many) all in areas i marked pre ice with gps. I have to tell you building the ice rink with my son awesome - fishing - nil Ice was a little dubious as well - found all different depths in a 50 metre radius from "im scared" to rink. I went with my neighbour - it was like a highway with teh amount of traffic. Maybe we need a bounty on first Pigeon panfish! take care out there all I did and thanks to a couple of well known guys here who pointed me to two very bright survival suits!

Michael_Brown Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 That's part of the fun. These lakes are virgin to ice fishing. No established areas or patterns. It may take a few trips to figure them out but when you do, you may have a hoard to yourself unless you want to share. We managed a bunch of perch in 3-11 feet of water on Chemong lake. Nothing fantastic but some action. Also caught were a couple of largemouths and a small muskie all released healthy and happy. I know of a few people who destroyed the crappie out deeper. It is just a matter of finding something that works and then expanding on it. Might take a winter or two but after waiting 90 years to try, I'm preparing myself for the occasional panfish skunking. Of course the upside of big schools of fat panfish just waiting to be discovered will cause me to keep drilling holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbac31 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I ended up finding some crappie/Perch on Balsam. No pike. Left because of the Walleye. Couldnt keep them away. Watch out for that lake though. Some very hidden weak spots all around there. Mitchell lake side is still unsafe with the current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
