Kashagagwigamog - Tuesday on ice, Didn't get skunked

Moved around a bit in the area of my cottage. 30 plus holes.

Good in the sun. Cold now with sun down.

1 perch for the day - let it go as too small.

Still trying for the walleye . . .

That's a lot of work for a perch but at least you got out there. Bet your glad you have that power auger
Thanks for the report, I turned your pic for you

How is the new hut treating you out there bluenote, and any thoughts on the waxies and butter worms?

Hope you nail down those walleye!

Cheers

Thanks NSFISHER for turning the photo again! One more attached.

Power auger blades have challenge with cold and slush. At one point today had to take propane torch out and melt off the ice.

Yes - great to have the auger when moving around on 13" of ice! It's in the shower now - thawing . . .

Here's on more photo - my set up leaving the cottage ready to go on the ice. New Otter flip attached via the hitch discussed via previous discussion.

today was very quiet lake. Only saw 4 snow machines on ice while I was out. For some reason - two of them had to drive 20' from my set up (must have been 4 strokes - not as whiny as the 2 strokes).

Back at it tomorrow - got to get something better than 6" perch!

Thanks

On my Sunday / Monday excursion (not yet posted till I get to a real keyboard) I lost via flooding one of my packages of wax worms. The butter and other wax container ended freezing.

No matter - today used some or the wax worms to tip the trebles - not sure if made a difference as didn't mark many fish. Certainly cleaner and quicker to use than tipping with minnow heads . . .

How did you do with the grubs?

Congrats that's one more than I caught on cooch today in a friends hut lol

That's a nice set-up Bluenote, you will have to get more than one pppperch per outing to get a return on your investment J/K bud

Definately a nice setup you have there. Been doing ok with the waxies but havent used much as yet. Fish have been pretty active so i have been keeping with larger profile baits for the most part. Once they start getting finicky or i go for crappie and bluegills i will definately be relying on them a lot more.

Cheers

Haha I feel ya Bluenote! I fished there once last year and worked it as hard as I could on foot. Prob drilled about 20+ plus holes fishing all kinds of depths and only marked one or two fish. The only upside to the whole trip was the 1 fish I caught all day was my first ever blue perch. Other than that I can't say I'm a big fan of that lake. It's like everywhere else it seems, 20 years ago it was amazing but now dried up. However a few weeks after I was there my dad's friend and his son went and sent me a picture of a 17lb walleye they pulled out of there!

Never tried the lake in the winter but been told you can catch walleye and lakers out of the same hole?

Certainly possible. If it happens to me - this site will sure hear of it quick enough with pics of the hole!

Currently on the lake - marking fish in 41' of water but no action!

Picture of hut set up. Was warm inside until I opened the door.

A few more snow machines on lake today and none close like yesterday.

2 more hours of effort . . .

Nice pic of the blue perch - thanks for sharing! Perhaps I'll catch one?

At least today I'm marking some fish!

Thanks
