I'm thinking about heading over to Loon this weekend. Haven't really ice fished the lake to much and was planning on heading towards the rock piles. Are there any sketchy spots i should be aware of while driving my pick-up out there. Springs? Aerators?

Posted

I was out there yesterday and they are driving right out to the rock pile with full size trucks. So far they haven't turned on the aerator but that can happen any day. I believe they did start the one on Crystal.

There is a cluster of about a dozen houses on the rock pile but not a great amount of activity. Not sure about thin spots. Just find a path and stay on it and you should be fine but as always no ice is absolutely safe.

Thanks for the heads up Floyd. I just don't wanna be the guy who drives onto a lake he's not familiar with in the winter and ends up going for a swim.

I did know that both Loon and Crystal had aerators, just not sure where their at on the lakes.

Aerator on Loon is to the right (east) from the landing off the point.

Should be fine driving. The problem is you won't catch anything if you're around other people on that lake. The fishing has been slow but they're in there somewhere.

real slow to say the least... marking a ton of bait fish after dark too. I think they are well fed....

Explains why the fish that are caught are nice piggys. Will probably be a good day to tip-up fish out there with the warm weather. Temps are suppose to start dropping around 4 i think.

Have always found this to be true on this lake.

      My son got paid back for a good deed he did several years ago. He found a couple of expensive items at a boat ramp and called me asking what he should do.   I told him to bring them home because I was afraid if someone else found them, they might keep them. It was winter and nobody was around. This was when Facebook wasn't really popular yet, I was on several sites like this. First thing we did was make a big sign and posted it at the boat launch, then I posted it on all the forums I was on. Long story short, we never found the owner, but we sure tried. I know to this day, if either one of us found something, we'd do our best to get it back to the rightful owner.

      Yes, for sure.     A few years back, and unbeknownst to me, a piece of trim came off my sled while traveling over the lake.  A fellow sledder and complete stranger found the piece and followed my tracks all the way back to my cabin to return the lost item.  Couldn't thank him enough.  His kindness will never be forgotten and is something to which I aspire.

      Sweet!!👍 there are still good people out there!
    • CigarGuy
      We got the auger back! The person who found it didn't want me to mention his name, we can't thank him enough! Still good, honest people around. He called Spring Bay Resort and asked if they heard of anyone losing an auger and they sent him a screenshot of my post. So, thanks to Dayis and Steve at Spring Bay Resort for that! Thanks again everyone for getting the auger back to us!

      Who’s been out? I got hit with the flu and am still recovering. 
    • CigarGuy
      That's what they're going to do. I always read these posts and wondered how people could lose or forget stuff, well it happens!
    • Wanderer
      Dang….  I know it’s your son, so kinda different, but I’d be expecting a replacement from those who lost it.  The group could each put in and wouldn’t hit one or another too bad.   But that’s just an old man’s thoughts….💭    Good luck.

      So my son and buddies were out this morning fishing between Wakemup and H.O.L. Bays (probably between Metza's pt and Schmidt Island), so they had to cross the snowmobile trail to The Landing. Well,  MY Strikemaster 24 volt auger fell off the back of my sled.  They didn't realize it until they got back. If anyone found it, would be nice to get back...please and thank you. Good news is they had the battery in their pocket..... Dip $hits😡
