NAW Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Does anyone live up near 6-mile lake? Just wondering if she's iced up good enough for a little crappie fishing Saturday morn. Any input would be great. Edited January 7, 2012 by N.A.W
irishfield Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Chip.. CHIP.. slide... chip.. CHIP... slide ! Be carefull out there... there are snow machine tracks on it.. but there are also snow mobile tracks in my last picture and there ain't no ice there! (thanks for the excuse to pull the 'bird out of the hangar!)
NAW Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) DANG WAYNE!!! How could there possibly be a better reply? Is that last pic G-bay? Edited January 6, 2012 by N.A.W
irishfield Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Yes.. that's the main boat channel out of Honey Harbour... going past Thompson Island at that point. Sledders going nuts on 1/4" of ice.
NAW Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Posted January 6, 2012 Sledders going nuts on 1/4" of ice. Who needs ice!
irishfield Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Yah.. I know the Webber clan... Fine when your Grampa can foot a helicopter for you, but these were solo runs by some nut! Edited January 6, 2012 by irishfield
irishfield Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) ... Edited January 6, 2012 by irishfield
BillM Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Might be time to get out on GPool. Wayne, you see any open water except for where Whites Falls dumps in? Edited January 6, 2012 by BillM
irishfield Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Everywhere Bill... I'll dig up another shot coming over it. I know I got one at the locks and the lake above it. Not sure about before the 6mile dam... ..edit.. all I've got ! Edited January 6, 2012 by irishfield
irishfield Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Well.. did you get there Nick??

NAW Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) We made it out. 4 to 6 inches of decent ice. 6 in the back bays, and 4 on the main lake. Guys on quads running out on the main lake on 4" Didn't get one single Crappie! Managed an accidental eye though The weather was a little nasty, with some freezing rain and snow. If you look really close, you can see a guy on a sled running across 4" of ice. Foggy cell phone image though, so it's hard to see. Here's me in front of my cottage. And my fishing partner for the day. Edited January 7, 2012 by N.A.W
irishfield Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) Yah.. we got three bands of nasty ice pellets here thru the day. Glad you got out.. hope I helped make the decission for the days outing. Have a buddy with a place on 6 mile that flies as well... Edited January 7, 2012 by irishfield
NAW Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 For sure Wayne, it was a big help. Very much appreciated eh! Now if I could only figure out those darn Crappie. We must have caught 40 of the smallest perch I've ever seen. Unbelievable.
GoneFishin Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Coolest reply ever I'll second that, irishfield you are a legend! Can't beat a reply like that. I've got a lot of respect for you Wayne. Not because you drive a plane, but because you would go out of your way for some one else. Not that it's the first time that has happened or the last. It's people like you that makes this an awesome community to join. Just though I would share that as I take your advise as if it were law. Keep at'er n.a.w, I'm looking for some crappie through the ice this year also.
irishfield Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 I didn't go out of my way.. it gave me somewhere to go! Thanks gonefishin!
danc Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 I enjoyed the videos as well Wayne. And remember that I still have your parking spot reserved for the bird next summer.
livinisfishin Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 After you left Nick we still didn't get a single bite...we are on our way to little to give it a shot!
fishindevil Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 thats the best reply i have ever seen on this board wayne !!!! awesome
Leecher Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Awesome of you Wayne to take the bird to the sky and survey the area Nice walleye btw Nick
NAW Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Nice walleye btw Nick Thanks! They are few and far between on that lake these days.
Rod Caster Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Considering the lack of numbers, that's a real nice walleye, Nick. Hopefully nipissing puts out for you again this year. Is Wayne doing this as a regular feature now?
Skipper D Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 Glad you got out for a day of fishing Nick , this video of Waynes is awsome , i been watching it over and over , wonder if i traded him some hours with the 550 six way if i could get a ride some time .... lol .
