Be nice Guys... As anglers we all have been known to streeech the truth a bit wink It's not like they were claiming to have caught a 28 and 31 in walleye at the same time or anything grin

Between this post and the one on the buffalo forum you can probably expect about 1,000 portables on that lake tomorrow. Say goodbye to your 16 inchers wink

i was on chain 14 dec didnt get anything i had one bite why only crappies only go wax worms not rattals jigs or anything like that don

Posted

Went and punched some holes on Mayhew tonight. Seen some on the vex and also seen some traffic out there a few houses and a few spear houses in the shallows. looks like people have been fishing it this year. My best luck on that lake is early morning or late evening. Not a bite tonite, but had a few lookers and pulls.

Posted

Went out on Pleasant and found some sunfish late in the afternoon. Wish the limit wasn't 5....

Jeremy, crappies are still biting pretty good on the Chain. Even as tough as it was yesterday we still had a pretty good outing for them.

Thanks Rick,Yeah I should go out there this week.I wanna try a few of the lakes near by ,then head out to the chain.

Bounced over to watab/rossier .Found some fun with medium sized sunfish around 3:pm-5:pm.Changed from 30' to 21' and there they were,hungry for wax worms.Been awhile since I was out last .Heading around Avon or cold spring tommorrow.

Fish were very active today for me, enjoyed the last day of 2013 ice season. The northern pulled down my new St Croix rod and bit my dead stick and brought my pole back up to me. Best gift ever smile

Nice fish! Had a pretty good morning myself. 60+ crappies caught and released between my girlfriend's dad and myself. Brought out the house and never used it… They're on the move.

Posted

Went to Big Watab this evening and didn't find crappies but ran in to "7-8" gills instead in 15'.Pounding away with pink plastics and wax worms I was and the gills seemed to want aggressive fishing.Finally I decided to keep some for a meal for another night.Nice thing about fishing the last two nights is the lack of wind.full-45395-40935-imag0587.jpg

Got out for a little while today, got those first fish of the new year out of the way full-26589-40936-002.jpg

Numbers were easy to come by, size was an issue in the couple spots where we found fish. Some of the crappies were pretty aggressive full-26589-40938-003.jpg They were hitting just about everything we threw at them.

Around prime time decided to hit one final spot, a small shallow rock hump to see if any walleyes wanted to play, they were down there, just not willing to bite. full-26589-40939-001.jpg

Sorry about the poor quality pic, cheep cell phone, bad photographer, big thumbs smile wanted to get it back in the water b4 the gills froze.

Awesome Rick you are right the crappies were on fire out there today iced easily 100 plus fish. We found and scored on them in the back after you guys left but size was similar to what we were discussing. Tore the ice up in that area never did locate the big gills on that breakline. Funny coincidence I was telling you that I iced about a 8 lb pike today and whamo you go and catch a dsndy! Great bite today considering the conditions it was a little chilly out but the fish cooperated! grin Nice to run into you guys again!

Posted

Wow! What a way to start the year guys.

Posted

I got a start on the new year at little rock or what I like to call it "tiny boulder" and picked off a few crappies for the pan. full-46894-40949-093.jpg

BigNick-Did you drive from the north access .Just wondering if a lone soul can make it to the deeper with a medium sized truck.

Posted

Went on at the NW access,105th or west lake road I'm pretty sure. There is a plowed road that goes out to the right and I fished in 15' FOW you shouldn't have any trouble getting to where ever you want. I know there is also a plowed road that runs from erdmanns point all the way across the whole east side of lake to benton beach. Nice gills you got at watab Did you hit the first Island off to the right or Public access? I plan to hit that on Saturday. Is there a plowed road running out to it?

There is a fresh plowed way going from the access to what seems to be on the edge of the island.There were some older plowed areas going north/south but I dont know how easy it is to drive on.I seen mostly spear houses to the right of the access.Two houses on the south west bar and a lone wolf hugging the island. cool Nice line of fish by the way! grin

You must have brought me Pike luck smile like I was telling you, I haven't gotten one in like two years while ice fishing crazy and then this, at least it was big. My only regret is letting Bubs take the pic smile he couldn't have messed it up more if he tried wink

Tom, I got that on walleye gear smile 4lb floro 1/8 buckshot. Thought it was a giant walleye or a big cat from the mark on the vex.

Great pics everyone, looks like the fish were active for everybody last 2 days. Nice pike Rick G, still waiting for my chance to pull something up the hole at that caliber smile

Posted

Did well on the eyes tonight. I went shallower. 12 ft. Very active bite, aggressive.

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄 
    • fishingstar
      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?

      but if he really wants I can change the date..
