Lake Puckaway

Great day on the water today.  Ice was surprisingly good with 8-10 inches and lots of active fish.  Lots of flags with bass, northern, and catfish.  Plenty of 3-4 inch perch

Problem now is not the ice but the landings.   Need wood bridges to get out on ice.  They deteriorated fast from time on the ice to time off.  Almost everyone walked out but there were side by sides on the ice that were trying to figure out where to go to get off the ice.  Got on fine but could not get off in same spots.  Lots of open holes out there because they have been drilled and are not refreezing or just have skim ice.

If you can get on the ice tomorrow get out and have fun.  After that it is going to be tough to get out on the ice due to poor landings.

Anyone been out the last couple days? How's the ice holding up? Still good for walking? 

Allaboutmusky the fisheree that was suppost to be held on Saturday February 3rd the fishing portion is canceled due to safety concerns and ice conditions deteriorating. The raffle drawing will still be taking place at 3pm.

Does anyone have an idea what the ice conditions might be for the fisheree this weekend? Hoping to get up there for it but sort of looks like the ice quality could be questionable with all this warm weather.

Fished out here, joining what looked like hundreds of others for the Lions Club derby yesterday. We had a few flags and landed 3 pike (all small) and a catfish. My tip down kept me fairly busy with small perch. Heard the biggest perch registered was like 6 and a half inches long. I might've been able to beat that yesterday but I stayed out there in hopes of landing a bigger fish. Looked like one person was chasing a flag that others would also get some flags. Was true in the area we were anyhow. Ice was 4 inches of sloppy, white ice and 8 inches of clear ice where we were. Some water on the ice and the landing was real sloppy when we went in. Most holes had weeds in them but most were laying on the bottom. I was surprised how clear the water was. First time on the lake so it being a super shallow lake I didn't expect clear water so I didn't bring my camera with to put down the holes.

Yes, a friend of mine just contacted me about the missing bag he has it. Feel free to shoot me a text at 920-229-3494 and I can connect you guys.

Did anyone see a beaver dam tip up bag at or on the way in to 6he oak street  ramp? It fell off my sled walking in.

I plan on bringing my Atv but will check landing prior to heading out.  I suspect the landing will be in poor shape already but no use in making it worse in which case I will walk out.  Should not be a lot of slush on top.  Just water from this rain.

Icefishwomen I would walk but that isn't going to stop people from driving out as people have been for weeks even with the crappy ice we had.Better to be safe then sorry and lose a wheeler if things go south. Be prepared for the worst

Was wondering if a person would be better off with an atv or walking out this weekend??
