Fisherman Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Went out to IBP this morning, caught a handful of junior johnsons, had my fun and then went on a trip over to Fox and a bunch further north. Everything has hardened up, there's the odd lump of frozen snow that might send you for a "bit of air" if you're not paying attention, very good for ATV travel. Crossed a couple of cracks, nothing more than 6-8 inches wide but frozen. One fellow on a snowmobile was broke down from over heating, no ice scratchers. He had a tow strap ready to go, I offered, he declined, someone else was coming to rescue him. North of Fox at portable hut city people were getting some whities and lakers, maybe I'll go back tomorrow. That's all.
misfish Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 no ice scratchers Hope my guide has his on. Heading out in the am. Think were heading north from IBP.
Fisherman Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Posted February 20, 2011 Oh ya, wouldn't go without them unless you zig zag back and forth between the thin little puffs of snow. Good luck.
icefisherman Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Great report - thanks. Any chance of been able to drive a vehicle on the ice this week? I'd think with all the water from last week frozen it might be getting close? Cheers, Ice Fisherman Edited February 20, 2011 by icefisherman
Rob Posted February 20, 2011 Report Posted February 20, 2011 Great report - thanks. Any chance of been able to drive a vehicle on the ice this week? I'd think with all the water from last week frozen this maybe the time? Cheers, Ice Fisherman Emil I would wait until next weekend for vehicles. Where the slush was last week the ice was still thinner than everywhere else. Now that the slush is gone, it should firm up evenly with the cold temps they are calling for this week. Rob C

ATV travel was perfect out there today......in fact it was a perfect day all 'round. No wind, sun shining, and a few fish to bring home for supper.

There are still spots out there under 12".
