i would love to go to killdeer and fish it through the ice. i have fished some of the ponds around it through the ice and have done fairly well on the gills. Always wanted to fish the res but never have (through the ice) if the cold we have last all year I may just have to go up there and give it a shot, if you are planning a trip and don't mind the company i would love to go. It is usually me and another buddy that fish hard water, and that is all the company I can manage. I mostly fish for pan fish, and would love to try for some of those perch. My grandfather used to fish this lake alot back in the day but I never got a chance to fish it with him. I know that it has great structure and good fish just seldomly get up there to fish it. Again let me know if you are planning a trip and keep me posted on the thickness of the ice I am goign to put this on my to do list for the winter.
If the weather holds I plan on going next Thurs. morning if I can find a spotter I will test the ice. send me a message if you want to go.

the Ice it 2.5" thick and doesn't have much snow on it. I didn't go out very far it might be thicker in other spots

I had an FL-8 that I bought used a few years back and had a similar issue with it. I at first assumed it was the battery because it wouldn’t last as long as my buddies FL-8se. I purchased a new Cabelas battery for it, it lasted a few hours longer but still nothing like my friends. I used it in that condition for the rest of the season assuming that the battery and my unit was far inferior to the newer Vexilar equipment.
The next season starts up and I was ill prepared and didn’t get a new battery and to my good fortune my buddy drops his on concrete the first day and destroyed his head unit and battery, but the rest of his pro pack was good! To make a long story short swapped my unit into his setup and just switching the transducer fixed it!
If you know someone with a Vexilar, swap transducers it might fix it?

Killdeer is a upland reservoir, It’s about 3/8 mile walk or ride to the island from the ramp, It’s is a great fishery in the spring and fall. I’m sure it would be lights out on the Ice as well. I’m not sure how thick the Ice is currently. I might run up Tues. or Wed. and check it out. The lake has a very high catch rate, and not many people fish it. It has a lot of Walleye and Smallmouth as well as some of the biggest Blue Gills in the state. This lake is very clear with 6-7 visibility. (Great if you have a Camera)
The reservoir has a lot of structure to fish (I could email Lowrance waypoints or post them if anyone wants them)
Stocked by the Division of Wildlife: Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Walleye, Yellow Perch, White Crappie, Brown Bullhead, and Channel Catfish. Introduced through Tymochtee Creek are Rock Bass, Green Sunfish, and White Sucker.

Anyone fish killdeer on ice? Its killer place in the spring! I was wondering if anyone has been out on the lake this year. or ever? i've got all the structure mapped out on GPS and I would love it if a few of us could get together and make a day of it.

fished it this morning and it is 5-6" in the pond and about 4.5 in the channel coming in. quads and snowmobiles everywhere. so I'm assuming that most of the lake is safe???

I got a kick out of it, and now I don't feel so bad for using a tractor.

OK that sounds a lot better i was scared for a minute thanks. I am thinking of a new 2 man flip and not sure which one to buy. i currently have a 1 man pak shack, and after sliding 100 yards in the wind last year I think i need a bigger one.

As you know, mine has kept me happy. I bought it in 2008 and am looking to buy the same model (Clam 2000) this year again.
Sorry to butt in, but do you really need a new one after 2-3 years? I too was thinking of a Clam but now rethinking
