Dangerous Ice Conditions!!!

A friend was just out today checking ice conditions on the Canisteo/Buckeye Pit today. He found 4" at one access and had pics of several open water spots on the main pit.

Sounds like a death trap out there!

I've heard rumors that other trout lakes in the area have dangerous ice conditions too, but like I said...................rumors.

Regardless, use EXTREME CAUTION this weekend if you're on any of the trout lakes in the area.

Good warning!

Not trout lakes, but I've heard about open water on Trout and Pokegama this week (I did not see this first hand). My concern is that with the drop in temps, thin ice will form on those parts of Pokegama again and someone will leave Zorbaz on a sled and dump it through. Similar things could happen on Trout. Hopefully people are on heightened alert this winter--I won't be out in any vehicle any time soon and I would be nervous even on foot on a lake like Canisteo. And I wouldn't assume that because I saw truck/ATV/snowmobile/foot tracks that the ice is good!

Went out on keg this morning watched a full size pickup drive between the islands, there are to many pressure ridges and the way the ice has been moving out there I think he is askin for trouble. And yes there are open spots and I know of 2 people that put their wheelers in closing a pressure ridge so everyone be careful and travel safe

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      By fishingstar · Posted

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
