Boulder

[Crappieflop54]

Hey guys, just curious if anyone has been out on Boulder yet and if so, any luck?? Thinking of heading out on Friday depending on the ice conditions. I know this week will make some more ice but just seeing what everyone thought, Thanks!

I think that folks aren't going to post how they are doing seeing that these threads get viewed by thousands of people. Best bet is to get out on the lakes and try them out yourself.

Was out last weekend. Wish I would of brought the wheeler. Out of the dam (public access area) a guy could explore. Good luck

I walked out from SFL on Sunday. About 4-5" of clean ice. I eventually found fish but it took being mobile for quite some time. ( posted additional info in the genaric area report).

Thank's for the feedback Jarrid and Osok, it's nice to see some fellow fisherman provide some positive feedback to a guy looking to get out for the first time this year. Some people need to take some lessons on that.

Im going to go out there tomorrow for the first time ever, I'll let ya know how I do...

[Jarrid Houston]

Its a great lake to fish with plenty of room. Although most go out of the campground, there is so much more to this lake. Working the ice show last year a guy showed me a 27" and another big one caught. His secret? get out and explore and stay away from the crowds.. good luck dudes

Crappieflop54- no worries man, this forum can be tough at times. So many view to get info but not so willing to share what they find. I can see both sides of the issue of sharing info on here. I don't know if I would chance a wheeler or sled out there yet, but since I don't own either it isn't an issue for me. Be patient and be prepared to hop around to find some fish.

DLD24- good luck out there. Should be some nice weather to ice some fish.

Both of you please be kind and save me some fish.

Jarrid is right, that lake has A LOT to offer and some nice fish can be found if you are willing to get away from the crowds and Croppie towns (later season).

Thanks fellas! My buddy and I will be venturing out on Friday morning for sure, I will make sure to post results!

Next time you watch a football game imagine 10 fishermen on the field instead of players. My point? A football field is about ONE acre, so if your favorite lake is 800 acres (not even big1!] that is 800 football fields-plenty of room for everyone.

I have been hearing some real good reports from both ends of Boulder. Crappies, eyes and snakes. Key was to get away from the crowds whenever possible.

Thinking about going up this weekend and bring the wheeler with. Never been there in the winter.

have been out a couple of times on boulder, bites has been good during the last 2 hours in the evening. went off the dam side, fish the island and channel area 10 to 12 ft of water. used a little bit of every thing as far as color. nothing big, 14 was the largest walleye, with a few crappies and perch. plan on heading up again. saturday. be safe. tracker 185

[fshhntfootball]

Few nice keeper 'eyes, nice big perch, and a nice pike this morning. Had to move a lot, and jig type didn't seem to matter.

[Crappieflop54]

Was out last night out of Silverfox with the lady for a couple hours. She, of course, got two nice eyes(a 15 and 17) and I came away with a nice jumbo. 11 ft of water. Anyone else having luck? Driving trucks out of the dam yet?

[ripstick]

What are they charging at the fox to go out?

[Crappieflop54]

$5 and its still ATV, sled, or walk. Do they let trucks out of there at all?

[hayseed]

A few brave(?) souls driving vehicles from the dam. Mostly ATV, Snowmobile or foot yet. I found mostly 12-14 inches today all over the west end. All good solid ice though.

[Crappieflop54]

I drove my half ton on a another area lake today. 13-14 inches where I started, was feeling good until we moved and I drilled and it was 10-12. Needless to say I'm back to hoofing it for awhile. Be careful out there fellas.
