Water is way up

[freakofnature13]

joel i got a lot of different colors, a few different blues, few greens, yellows, and a couple pinks,couple golds, silvers, high gloss, translucents, etc. there is a very extensive list of colors and types. take a look at it, the 2oz bottles work just fine although i id order some bigger sizes on some things i know i would use. having trouble finding a hott pink that i want... colombiacoatings.com  pretty decent collection and at half the price of a tackle store that would sell the powder paints. im really considering some new colors and designs.. i would like to find a guy who does photo finishes.. i can see that being a very very deadly on walleye. as most of the walleye im getting im not ripping but simply doing a "flyby" approach...actually fishing and finessing a vibee rather than rippin or jerkin or jukin as some do. its unreal. We'll have to get out this yr. and ill show ya a few of the techniques i use. they produce very well.. somethin else to add to your arsenal when your out fishing with them. i lost your number. pm me and ill get your number from ya

Sounds good.  Love to get out together and add some new walleye techniques to the arsonal.  Thanks for the website for the paints.  I can't find a good hot pink either!    Anyone out there able to help???

Thanks, I'll check it out.  Do you know if they have glow also?  I'm experimenting with it and am not happy with my results.

There white glows awsome and the orange is almost as good. the darker green powder paint sucks though. I was disapointed with the green but I will buy more white and orange powder paint when I run out.

We will get on the hard stuff this year. Its still December.  Most ice seasons start in January anyway.  We all got spoiled the last few seasons which started very early in some cases.  2 winters ago I was on Dec. 7 and the following weekend at Mog.  Then a thaw came and it started all over.  4 or 5 years back, I didn't get on Erie till the last day in Feb.  The ice was s..t and didn't get a bite, but still got out, and in, safely.  At least we won't have the thaw that seems to happen after a few weeks of fishing.  Berlin will fish this winter for sure.  Lots of time left.

I was wrong.  Big time.  Sucks, but what are you going to do. Pulling the boat out on Saturday for some trailer work.  Anybody know the current water levels out there?

Berlin is around 4 ft below summer pool.

I take it that the water is also very dirty?  Would love to get out on Sunday if the wind is favorable.  It would be a real shame if I didn't have to wear my knee highs to launch. LOL!  If its nice on Sunday I'm stopping by Chuck.

The lake is clearing up nicely. A little skim ice today, nothing to worry about

[slabslayer]

Lake is at normal winter pool now, and hopefully, fingers crossed, will be great fishing for the walleye tournament!!

That is great news,the water level was so low over the summer it was dangerous

[slabslayer]

It sure was.  I didn't fish it for that reason in the summer.

You should of seen it this fall before "Sandy". 

[slabslayer]

I did, it was horrible.  I didn't take my boat there this year for that reason.  I was afraid I'd hit something.

water was very very low i fished it all summer and did pretty good but, had to be real careful...    there is allot more debree on the bottom than you would ever imagine...mostly cinder blocks and skids, rocks...
