Plenty of people driving yesterday. Got out near the point, marked a bunch of suspended crappies but they wouldntbite after the first one. My friend was five ft shallower he never had the crappies but he had done nice marks off the bottom after dark whereas I didnt. Last time we fished the west side and I couldnt get em to bite either. Finally got bit and pulled up a rock bass...

I always do best on Green when I am all by myself. Out in no mans land in 24-27 feet of water for crappies.

There's talk about people driving on Green, but I would like to know how many inches of ice the lake has now??? I am planning on heading out on Saturday and would like to have 12+ to drive on the lake, or If not I will walk out.

You should be ok to drive there was ten inches before the cold front and my buddy drove out. Suburbans and trucks were out yesterday

Alumacraftguy I have been fishing green and have done so for a long time and there are thin spots use caution and with all the traffic and people going to fast it will break up the ice. If you can give it another week it would be so much safer IMO.

drove out yesterday 14.5 inches

I am out on green. The cold front is certainly moving in and wind is really coming up. Fish are extremely negative I can't hardly buy a bite, and its prime time. Anyways, I drove out of the Main access and checked ice about 150 yards off shore 13.5 inches and fished out by the point and also had 13.5 inches. I can't say about other places on the lake, but it's pretty soild around this area. Lots of vehicles on shore and lots of vehicles On the lake. Take it slow, and please don't park within 20 feet of another vehicle that's a big impact on the ice. Imagine two vehicles weight within 15-20 feet of each other and then a truck drives right by them. You set everyone up for dangerous situations when you ( anyone) does this. Safety first!

I was out on the lake friday,1/02/2015, I have never seen that many people out there. A very slow bite, a few small perch, and 4 nice crappies.I would say a good solid 14" of the ice.

I agree there is really a ton of people on the lake, especially for a small (800) acre lake. Green, is taking a royal pounding!!! Seems some are avoiding winter killed Stanchfield, and not so many fishing Mille Lacs these days. Meleens, in Onamia even went out-of-business.

Another thing is that word is out the area has drive-able ice. Lots from the metro are up and with Pelican out of the picture it is adding a fair number of people. Lots of my family members have asked me about Green, because they heard there is a good crappie bite going on with some walleyes mixed in. The lake I was on had tons of people as well, but most I talked to did not catch many fish. That is okay with me.

      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.

      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?
