Just got home from Sarah, and for my first time out i think I did pretty good. They started out pretty slow and the size wasn't there, but as darkness fell the Vex was lit up and size started to improve. Kept 6 for the pan all around 10in. I would have stayed longer except I burnt my line on the lantern and lost my hot lure. I finally got a hit on my bobber set-up and when i went to set the hook I put my jiggin stick against the lantern and pppsit down the hole it went. Nothing else worked the same after that. Anyways it was great to be back on the ice.

what part of Sarah Lake did you fish? I here by the railroad tracks is a good area. Don't know the lake but plan to fish it this winter. Also, how was the ice?

thanks

If you are looking for craps, you will find them suspended over deep water. For gills, try shallower, like 10-20 FOW? Watch out for the landing though. The access onto the lake is at the bottom of a pretty steep grade. If you don't have 4WD, and there is black ice, you are stuck shocked.gif! Right Cyberfish?

Is that what happened after I left, Calvinist? It took 4 attempts for me to get up that grade in my 2 wheel drive Toyota. On the 4th attempt I got a good run'n gun start to get some momentum and just barely made it out of there. It would've been impossible if I had rear wheel drive.

That's exactly what happened. We got stuck real bad trying to get out, and had to call a towtruck to winch us out mad.gif!

Uh huh, 79 clams to rescue my poor ol rear wheel drive ford.

But I still got all my fingers!! grin.gif

Watchu talkin' 'bout Willus? You got somthin against the digitaly challenged?! mad.gifgrin.gif

Didn't you think to try to drive it up the ramp in reverse? Instant front-wheel drive grin.gif. JK. I had the same thing happen to me on a different lake, but being the cheapo I am I sat there and chipped out frozen sand from the beach until I got some loose stuff and then I filled up my sled and poored it all over the slope.

I was out there a couple years ago and saw a guy trying to pull a double trailer up that hill. I think he was using a 4-wheeler. Needless to say, his tires were a spinning. Then he decided to unhook the trailer while still on the hill. The next thing I saw was his trailer rolling down the hill at high speeds with him hanging onto the hitch part sliding on his feet and butt after the trailer. Somehow, he steered that thing to avoid any cars, but it was one of the funniest things I ever saw...although it could have been deadly.

I too had a bit of trouble gettin out of there on Mon. nite. But after a couple tries I was able to summit the hill with my civic. Anyways on Mon. their was about 6in. of ice and it was spotty as mentioned before. I was fishin over 48fow, with fish suspended everywhere. Plannin on heading out on Mon. again. Looking at the weather report for the holiday weekend I might need to bring the boat with.

Merry Christmas to All, and may the New Year bring you many hooksets.

Any of ya'll fish Lake Sarah for walleye? I've never tried,but it seems like it has some good habitat/structure to support a healthy population.

Posted

There is no a fishable population of walleyes in Sarah. I have heard of one caught many years by a local that lives on the lake. It was around 7lbs. So the story goes... There is a creek that runs to Independence so anything is possible.

The DNR survey as no walleyes being in this lake.

      Welcome back. Wow it's been since 2018 it looks like. Did you ever "I'm tightening up my footprint and want to build on my Bozeman lot on the Gallatin"?  😏
    • SkunkedAgain
      You're probably right. This isn't official since I've already lost, but I'll make my supplemental guess for May 6th since it's still open. 😄   As long as I can snake my way along the shore and/or plow through some dark ice on the 8th, I'll be happy. I love aluminum boats!

      For all of my "problems" with getting a clear signal it's worth it. I can spend more time at the lake because I can work during the day and play or get things done at night. Toss in that I can record and watch a football/hockey/basketball game when I'm done at the end of the day....priceless.   Like your place, our property is more natural and I was worried about having to cut down a bunch of trees. I like that people have to get up close to see our place from the lake through the trees. Luckily I didn't have to do much to get enough a signal that works for me. If I needed to be on video calls, I probably would run the dish down to the shore to get a better view of the sky.   BTW - the main problem with mounting the dish on a tree is that the tree still has a canopy that will block the signal. The best option would be to top a tree and then mount it on the clear-cut top.

      Not sure where on the lake you are located, but Paul Bunyan Communications will be extending fiber optic internet for most of the south shore of the lake in the next couple years. If you’re in Beatty township like me, unfortunately we have been snubbed from the expansion.

      Our home, Casa De Miel, is in a quiet 1 street gated family neighborhood. With 3 bedrooms - 2 featuring en suite baths. The 3rd room with a beautiful new double queen bunkbed adjacent to the hallway half bath is perfect for kids. That bunkbed is made from the local protected Guanacaste wood, only dead harvested and available there, it is beautiful. All the wood and tile work is pretty cool - we couldn't afford those materials and workmanship here!!. The master has a spacious walk-in closet, and the bunkroom/office has an entire closet wall with safe. With the pool, internet, multiple big screens, an outdoor shower and lovely Casita with a roofed patio, it is perfect for multi-generational families, fishing expeditions, etc. Sleeping capacity is 8. Everything you need is there, and new, from beach and pool toys, PFDs, to quality kitchenware. Serving ware is patio safe, but the wine glasses are glass, so deploy the unbreakable stuff for the 3rd bottle or so. Our property managers are incredibly thoughtful and professional Americans, rated Superhosts on AirBNB. They check you in and are always available. The same crew thoroughly cleans and maintains the exterior landscaping after each visit, and are available additionally if you like for extended stays. Our property managers own their business and are the best - concierge level extra attention is easily arranged. The house is less than a mile to the closest town beach and about 2 miles to another beautiful beach featuring a fantastic beach restaurant. The fishing is great and as a flyfishing guide myself I can recommend thoroughly vetted captains to take you out with conventional tackle. There are kayak guides also. Shore fishing is great anywhere smart. Trout a couple hours uphill. There are local and top notch international grocery and retail stores. The famous 'Monkey Farm' (a unique recovery and animal rescue center with tours, beach horseback rides, etc.) is right there. Many excellent bars and restaurants. Moped and motorcycle, bike, golf cart, scooter and Ebike rentals are easy and about a half mile mile away towards the town center. Kayak, other water toys at the beaches. Surfing and surf lessons are available easily and depart from town beach, as well as whale watching and scenic coastline cruises - smart to research and if you choose, book ahead. We are a little over an hour to a beautiful National Park with hot springs, tours and zips lines, etc. The world famous Lake Arenal area with the volcano and hot springs is a little further, but a very easy day trip. Pricing is flexible but I had to put something in there, so I listed the average daily price. We prefer at least a 3 night rental. Pricing is dependent on your dates, and starts around $220/night - I can send a link with up to the minute pricing. Monthly and longer rentals offer significant discounts. The quiet season is beginning so it is a great time to visit! I have a rustic trout shack on the Madison, and drift rivers for smallies and muskies here in MN, WI, etc. It would be great to meet new fishing buddies through this rental. Maybe we can follow thru for some floats when our calendars line up, or otherwise share/swap resources or fishing opportunities! The property managers currently block out the calendar further than 6 months ahead. Any forum members can contact me and I will facilitate advance bookings. Feel free to email me if you have questions, here's the booking link. Thanks, Pura Vida - Vida de Tiron!

      Well since I'm all over this state during the year. Your either not in Minnesota, or your on a Hugh chunk of private land backed up to a state park or wildlife refugee! 🤭

      When I was deer hunting last fall, the obvious explosion of wildlife then was evident then too.  I saw over 50 deer, 20+ turkeys, and too many pheasants to count in a week.  Nothing has changed.  These mild fake winters have to be playing a big role in survival.  And if we get another good reproductive cycle in June, I would expect another booming fall season.
