TJC1973 Posted February 2, 2015 Report Posted February 2, 2015 Good Day, I have been out with a few operators on cooks bay this year and had great service each time and caught lots of perch, the problem is that they are all Dink's. I'm doing some research tonight and looking to change it up a bit. Has anyone here been out with snake island ice huts? Any info on this operator or tips to areas other than cooks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Gang.
Sinker Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 My GF and I are headed out with Tim hales in the morning. I'll let ya know how it goes. S.

TJC1973 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Posted February 3, 2015 We're slayin 'em at tims right now!! What depths are his huts at?
davey buoy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Posted February 3, 2015 Sounds like you'll be doing well tomorrow.Good luck.Let us know how you did.
Sinker Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 The hut we fished wa4 in 35ft. We took home 60 jumbos. Lots of 10-12" fish with a few 13's and my gf got big fish of the day at 14.25...what a tank!!! Great day! Ya cant beat Tim Hales operation. Best on the lake IMO. S.
pikeyminnow Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Hey Sinker, nice haul bud! What was the hot bait, minnows, slab grabbers, jigging raps? And did they bite better in the morning or afternoon, or was it steady all day?
Burtess Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 I fished Lefroy last weekend, depths from 15 to 30 feet, caught lots of perch but no keepers, all 6-7 inch. Going to try Gilford maybe this weekend and look for 25 foot depth, just a bit longer of a walk to the deeper water. Burt
TJC1973 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks for the replies and PM's. Booked a hut with Tim Hales for Friday, but with some of the good info I got I may have to invest in some more gear and bypass the outfitters next year. I will let ya know how we make out on Friday. Thanks again, Terry

Burt Kevin If you still have my PM from last year, short walk and keepers.Dep waters not to far of a walk either. Nice report Shane. Hope you let the breeders go. Remember what happen out east. You cant keep them all and think they will reproduce.LOL
Burtess Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 Brian, I took my youngest one out that way at the end of the season last year, have you been out there lately? I would think maybe whitefish would cruise along there too? Burt
manjo39 Posted February 5, 2015 Report Posted February 5, 2015 I fished Gilford last weekend with my little guy. Lots of small perch. Only one was 9 inches.

TJC1973 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Report Posted February 9, 2015 Well, we had an excellent trip out with Tim Hale's. Caught a pb perch just a hair under 13 inches and caught around 50 fish for the day.As I had originally requested to avoid the Dink's, this trip lived up to expectations. Another highlight was the lodge\bait shop at Tims, I could have hung out in there all day. A real fisherman's dream man cave. Thanks again for those who chimed in. Cheers, Terry
