More fun on Winny

[eyeguy 54]

Started Tuesday noon at Highbanks in a sleeper.  First 24 hours 3 northerns and 7 eyes.  All on deadsticks. Fatheads and shiners. Zippo jigging. 5 slot fish and 1 over, 1 under.  Second 24 hours, 3 Northerns.    A few perch here and there but none over 9 inches caught. Really like the folks at Highbanks. Good communication and very nice sleeper.

we were on 24 feet.  kinda like rolling the dice out there right now.  I think the bigger eyes are just roaming all over the place.

I thought with all the big pike maybe you were a little shallower than that?

[eyeguy 54]

24 to 29 inches on the pike.  Last one I got was a 26.  Caught a small perch and decided to drop the same used minnow back down since we were close to leaving time. Half way down it stopped going thru my bobber, figured something was on so just started really fast and the fun fight was on. lol 

the one on the board

all of the northerns had perch in stomachs

Eyeguy, maybe you could help me.  After 134 views to a simple ? of how much snow is on the ice, How much snow is on the lake?  Doing a wheelhouse thing tomorrow and would like to know how off road would be.  I know just call the resort, but I like to hear from someone who has just been there.  Thanks

As we were driving off a truck with a wheeler was stuck about 100 yards from access as they tried to head off to the south trying to pop off the plowed road.  Probably 18 to 20 inches of ice where we were, half mile out and couple miles south from access.  I would think you could use their plowed roads, 12 bucks for access which is very nice.   Still a good idea to call and ask them how it works, we just stayed on their road to the shack so cant say what it would be like heading off somewhere. Or leave it home and rent a sleeper...  Did see a couple wheelers set up in the area.
