Coming up this weekend with a group and this cold front moving in has me concerned. How much do you guys think the weather can mess things up? It looks like really cold temps, but it looks like it not going to be above 11 in the next 10 days. Does it seem like a front will slow things down for a day or two? Or longer? How much of this accurate, or is weather just an excuse for us to use when the bite is off? Of course a slow weekend on LOW is better than a weekend just about anywhere else.<P><BR>Chadice<P>

Chadice: Just got back from the Pond and it was definitley cold (-30 windchill Wed.) I personally watch the barometric pressure more than the temps. I've had some awfully good fishing when the temp was below zero. I feel the up and down weather patterns that influence the barometer effect fishing the most. Stability in the weather pattern I feel is really important and lately that hasn't been the case. This is just my nickles worth of theory. Hope you get on the fish and have a good time. Good luck, and hang on. Bill

Thanks for your response. I am hoping that the front has moved in the last 24 hours and that by the time the weekend roles around this will be more stable. How did you do up there this past week?

      Made a quick trip before the weekend rush on Vermilion.  Ice was in very good condition.  Didn't see any slush or water on any of the roads out from McKinley Park.  There are plowed roads on both side of the staked snowmobile trail coming out from the landing.  The road to the left goes out toward Birch Island, and there is a spur road going to the left (west) a couple hundred yards out.  The road on the right side goes out toward Ely Island.  There is a short spur road going east about half mile out.   The water came up under my fish house about another 1½ inches when I drilled my holes.  Looks like I will be going back up early next week to block my house up higher.  The small amount of new snow is really drifting up and adding weight.  You may get water on the ice, or find slush if you drill holes in new areas.  There is about 15% bare ice where the wind has blown it off.  Many of the drifts are very high and hard, so you could get stuck on them.   Fishing was average.  Best bites were from 9-10am and 11-1230 when I quit.  Biggest walleyes was only 16¼", then the next biggest was 13.75".  Reporting lengths in quarter inches because I can't seem to find any big walleyes.   Good luck fishing, be careful driving around, and be courteous to others.
