Well I don't see any activity here so thought I would give what I know although not first hand. The big lake has been froze for sometime and is reported to have 8 to 10"s. Walker bay was open just a couple days ago but I think it froze over last couple of nights. Will go take a look tomorrow. I have my houses on walker bay and am getting ready for the ice season. Not sure how long before I have them out but will be checking almost daily because it cant be far away.

Plenty of ice fishing going on though on the big lake and on smaller lake in the area.

I have been picking up a few 'eyes every evening. Some days are better than others. I'm in 12 FOW. Thinking about moving deeper, might pick up a few during daylight.

Hi All,

Headed up to Leech over New Years weekend. I have never fished the lake but really excited too! I will be staying at Chase on the Lake. I am thinking most of my fishing will be in Walker Bay. I plan to bring my Sled and a portable and we rented a shack for the weekend out of Chase. I just wanted to see what the ice depths were and if I need to worry about any springs or pressure ridges to look out for if I am venturing around on the sled? Any help would be great.

Thanks!

will be up at leech for christmass anyone know ice thickness in the stoney point whipolt bear island areas and if any pressure ridges

The ice is pretty consistent out of Whipholt to Olsons reef and north of Pipe Island. Trucks are driving and finding at least 14-15" last week.

Not sure about the ice quality toward bear.

Good luck over Christmas!

      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..

      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.

      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.

      My 30 year-old Indy 500 (over 8,000 miles) has been having a mid-range bog for many years now.  It is worse on warm days and when the engine is warmer.  The sled runs fine up to about 1/4 throttle, then runs extremely rich up to 3/4 throttle.  The spark plugs are dark brown (better brown than down?) but not saturated.  8 years ago I moved the clips on the jet needles from the 3rd to the 2nd groove to lean the mixture and it helped for a while.   Should I move the clips to the top groove (temporary solution)? Could the jet needles, needle jets, and/or the main jets be warn and need replacement?   Don't think I will have time to tear the carbs apart this season for a rebuild so I may just band-aid the problem.

      I think that Mike89 picked April 26 two hours before you, jparrucci.  Is that correct Mike89?

      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳
