If I came up this weekend, would I be able to drive out in a 1/2 ton truck? never been ice fishing that late in the season before but I have a free pass this upcoming weekend.

Hey cranker, I have a quick question I am sure that I could find the answer elsewhere but I am just too lazy to look for it. I am going to be up tomorrow probably and I am wondering what you charge for your road fee. Hope to get into some fish and maybe even meet some of the guys from here while I am roaming the lake. Look for 2 guys in a black ford ranger and stop by and say hi.

the lake roads were great, but the landing is going to go fast with all that water on there. i was surprised how much water was on the access when we left. had a great time up there on saturday. couldnt ask for better weather. i finally remembered the sun screeen this year and saved my face from falling off.

i would like to offer a tip to guys that go up there any time during the winter. let the plow do its work before you try to use a one land dead end path.

it was nice to meet you cranker. let me know if rick is serious about taping a show on whitefish and i will get you my dads information. good luck the rest of the year.

[The Cranker]

You should be fine driving out. It all depends on the weather.

Fish On!!!

Cranker,

Is the lake OK for 4-wheeler traffic yet? A couple of us are heading up in the morning.

[The Cranker]

Yes in most areas. Sta away from where any perms were though.

Fish On!!!

Ok... here is the story.. I am up at Appledoorns right now. The fishing was not outstanding, but far above average if you were willing to work for it.

I had a 1-2 punch going.. I went with a Nills Master JIg shad.. ths small size with one wax worm on it. If that didn't get them I hit them with a CJ&S diamond jig with 3 euro on it.. One or the or the caught them.

I just cleaned 15 JUMBOS... I would consider 10-12" fish... I had one that was close to a 13.5".

The best part was. The whole reef was covered. Roads went all the way around it, so you could spread out!

As many know I like to hole hop, I never spent more than 10 mins in a hole.. This was key!. Jump around you will find the fish.

Cranker and the Appledoorn family will do their very best to do you right.

I will post pict once I get home... cause I am fishing again tomorrow morning!>.. YEAH BABY, nothing better than Jumbos!!!!!

[protiller]

Deitz you're correct in that Cranker and Appledoorns care about each and every fisher person that uses their facilities and roads. Myself and 4 others caught 26 keepers with some really nice JUMBOS in there!

The weather was incredible and you couldn't ask for a better day to fish on the big pond for perch.

I highley reccommend the best secret on the lake Appeldoorn's Sunset Bay Resort. Just do like I did and check them out at www.sunsetbayml.com

Thanx to Cranker and the Appeldoorn's!
