Lake Zurich, Lake County (all postings)

Fished 3 till 7pm 4 pike 1 walleye 5 to 7ft. all on big shiners. all pike 22in. walleye 17in. Ice 6 to 8in

theres a few in there

Has the muskie population grown enough that LZ is a lake you can go out and flick a 1000 casts out and wind up with a few nice muskie?? I feel like there has been enough caught on accident that you can start targeting them

Going today out front of house. ice out there 3 to 6in

Havn't been out in awhile. How thick is the Ice. Cookie, Have you been Out?

Went out on Saturday and just like I advised in the post below ice was 6" around the lake however there is a lot of small spots that are not frozen over with 6" of ice around it and then about 1" about a foot of its edge(dangerous at night). I was prepped for night fishing with 6 other guys and it turned out to be a biggest mistake I have ever done(damn catastrophe). Made a mistake not checking wind conditions as I normally never do for ice fishing only in the summer. Only around 9 o'clock PM when it started getting quite windy we were debating ,if we should start packing for the day. We were with two 4-6 people shacks. Went back to the Shack and decided to put on the safety straps on the shoes as it was getting harder to walk on clear ice. As I was putting a second one on around 10 PM ,win hit so hard the shack broke of the straps that were anchored to the ice and took the whole shelter with the gear in it towards the open water in the middle dragging me along with it , luckily I was able to place my foot down on the ice to hold myself since I had almost both of straps own already.Very little of the gear was found. Chances are everything went into open water and whatever is heavy enough went to the bottom as wind was blowing that direction. Never thought I would experience something like that in my life ,but now I know what could happen. Going back to the shore was almost impossible to walk,but we made it. If anybody finds any of the gear, especially keys. Please PM me I would really appreciate , will be rewarded.

Came back from fishing Sand Lake at mid-afternoon and seen a ton of people out there! Did someone organize an event here? Anyway, with the cold, cold temps coming this week, I'll be out on LZ soon.

OK Warmen See you out on the ice.

Hello,

Why don't you guys stop talking crap and do some fishing. I am planning to come out today.With 6" inches on Wednesday and freezing point or below temperature on Thursday (24 hours) I don't think high of 40 on Friday and high of 40 today until night will do much to the ice. I would stay away from the middle as the ice thickness is unknown especially with last spill out when it hit 50's. We should still have easy 6" around the lake. Also it will drop to 10 this night and then down down down down........

Trololol

I think you're catching N. pike. What size muskie you keeping?

Sounds like about a muskie tale not that many swimin in the pond! You have Pictures to show.fished here for forty years caught only 4 over 40in.

who needs a camera and heck forget the shore we fry them up right in the boat and use the extra meat for cut bait its the only way we roll and the tigers are much tastier that the pure muskys

Can anyone give a quick update on how the Ice has looked lately?

Hoping to get out for the 1st time this weekend, but the warmer weather/windy conditions of today and tomorrow have me a little concerned.

Thanks!

I was one of the guys out today. I had one flag. When I was jigging, I had several fish follow the bait up on the Vexilar, but they were unwilling to bite.
