Title: Field Report Week of Feb 6-12
Post by: icebucketjohn on February 11, 2011, 02:46:59 PM
Cold temps slowed down the ice fisherman to almost zero this week.. atleast during my morning drive-by observations.

Although the lake hasnt produced record catches in numbers or sizes, it has been a steady producer of putting fish in the bucket this season... gills, red-ears & crappies.

Overall, the ice fishing pressure has been non-existent.  I dont think I've seen more than 3 shanty's on the ice at any one time.

Friend went out there yesterday and ice is 6 inches.  With this little warm up and lack of rain it will hold into the weekend.

Little over knee deep, shore line is 1/2" thick, out from there top layer of ice was cracking. Was on my way out from checking it and that's when I broke through.

KPI the ice is no good at Aquilla!  Stay far far away and go on your little private plane trip to Simcoe.  If I had your money I would throw mine out in the street and grab a lawn chair and watch everyone pick it up as I try to direct traffic.  I am working on plan B to get my private flight to Alaska.

I've been out a lot more than 4 times. Gone thru about 1200 wax worms and have caught a bunch.  Just got to put your time in. Last year no good this year great next year who knows. Learned a long time ago grass aint always greener on the other side and the fish aren't always biting in the lake 200 miles away.

It is nice to be me. While you are driving I'll keep reeling them in. Ha Ha
all in good fun.  Point is there is good ice fishing here in Ohio just got to put your time in. This is all I will post on this topic as I like to try to be a little more informative in my posts as to where and how.

Well I was there and in the process my pop up shanty hub broke so I am not happy about that.  It hurts when you get outfished by a new IFO member too.  Then coming home the suv is wiggling so there is another $1000 I can already see that bill coming.  Oh and then we have the Daytona 500 on Sunday so I can hear how great KPI is at picking drivers.  Other then that it was good to be in the fresh air and tangle up some rods and replace lures tonight.

Had the same thing happen with my new Eskimo FatFish this year. Calling Bass Pro as I got the gear gaurd.

FYI don't buy a shanty without purchasing gear gaurd or some other insurance- I have had something break on my new shanty every year I have had one.

I may have to go up there midweek.  Maybe I was wrong about the season being done.  That ice will stick around a while. ;D
