Fish both Pymie and Mosquito.Have been fishing Mosquito since Dec.6 (safe ice) Went out Sunday and we just slammed the Wallies. My buddy and I each go our six. However we had to go through a bunch of little ones to limit out. Ice was a little shaky Sun. and was cracking under our feet walking out. There wassome open water Sun. but the ice was 4". Not really good ice. Went out again Mon. evening and got 3 keepers,again it was a bunch of little ones. Ice was making all kinds of noise,which means it was making ice. There was a heck of alot more open water Sunday. Its going to warm up Thurs & Fri and rain,so I think I'll wait till it gets cold again. Dont have a death wish.LOL
Pymie was froze then after that warm snap got bad,haven't been there yet!

Thanks, Dinky.

Do you have a buddy that works at Gander Mountain? He gave me a report and described the exact same lures that his buddys were using on Misquito very recently?

The number 4 jigging rapala...is that the smallest one they make?

Please keep me posted on any reports you get on the ice conditions.

Thanks,
vc

Too many guys coming in asking for ice fishing tips?:D

Looks like we won't have ice any time soon around here.

I wish I could head to Canada for a few days for some ice.

If you go, shoot me an email and let me know how you did.

I have this posted on GFO.
Theres lots of open water here & what ice there is, is snow covered & slushy. But there are some open spots that can be fished from shore.



This is the north side of the causeway under the bridge.


This is the south side looking east towards the bridge.


This is the south side of the causeway looking west. The whole parking area on the south side is open to & under the bridge. Watch your footing if you go, the rocks are ice & snow covered.


This is at the cemetery parking lot looking north.


This is at the cemetery parking lot looking south.


Heres the spillway &


below it. This can easily be fished from shore. The water is clear & the gates aren't open very much.
These photos were taken on 1/4/03.

Mosquito Ice

Was out walking around on the ice today. Ventured out about 100 yds,Ice seemed to be safe. Didn't drill any holes to check thickness,but it supported my measly 165#. Should be fishing Sun. or Mon.
