thanks donbo

anything doing on Clam lake?

[snoozebutton]

I haven't been out there but we were driving home yesterday from the in-laws and saw cars on Lake Magnus in Richardson, cars on Beaver Dam in Cumberland and cars on Shell Lake. Some lakes have a lot of slush and are kind of touch and go so I'd be pretty careful out there.

hit clam this morning , not a bite jigging for panfish but caught a number of hammer handle northern.

My son in law was out there last week and pretty much the same, no bluegills but plenty of northerns and one walleye. He said a couple of the northerns were in the 8 to 10 pound range so that's not too bad.

Got 9 nice Crappies and 13 nice gills Thursday.

[DonBo]

Sounds like a good day.

Crappies were hitting pretty good today, caught around 20 and kept a dozen with the biggest a 15 incher. Bluegills were few and far between but the 4 I got were nice ones, 7 to 9 inch range.

well was hoping to get a chance to go out fishing with you yet this winter but I think thats is going to have to wait until next winter. Well I have a camper up on the flowage ya can always look me up there.

Still holding out hope that I can get on the ice yet this weekend. But if the ice goes, I hope it goes fast so I can get the boat out. And yeah, would love to hook up with you this summer.

fished upper calm this morning very slow. Ice is good.

Were you able to get on it okay? The landing at Cumberland point was starting to get pretty iffy last week.

[vman59]

yea used the atv no problem. Used the far southwest landing on the dead end road.

I think you're talking about the one at the end of Lonestar Rd, right? We'll give that one a try, heading over there this afternoon.

Fished there Friday and after drilling about 50 holes, finally found them. They bit fast and furious until a northern came along and almost got away with one of my poles. Only caught one more after that. Ended up with 8 from 9" to 13" and missed at least that many more.

[vman59]

Snooze , how ya do?

[snoozebutton]

Like you, slow. A couple of crappies right away and 5 bluegills after that but had to really work for them. BTW, several people went through right by shore on the way off the lake. Might need a boat to get to the ice after today.

Does anyone have any updates for Clam Lake Ice fishing? I was up last weekend and it appeared that not many were out.

[DonBo]

Welcome to the forums! Wish I had a report for ya. How did it go last week? How was the ice? Any slush still?

[Doctor H]

Thank you for the welcome note. Wasn't on the lake last weekend. Spent the afternoon sighting in the Grandson's new 17MM rifle. I thought for sure I would have seen more action going on across from Big Mike's on lower Clam. The most we saw moving on the north end of the upper lake was the few ice racers in front of Jed's.

I was out from Cumberland point on Tuesday and got nothing. I was only there for around an hour but there was only 4 vehicles out there and no one seemed to be doing anything. Ice was good though, no slush. There was a group of shacks out in the deeper hole so maybe the crappies are moving in there in the evenings, I didn't stick around to find out.

[Doctor H]

Thanks for the ice update snoozebutton. I may not hit the Clam again until the Siren Lion's Ice Contest. I beleive that is February 27th.

Went out on Upper Clam on Sunday. Caught three small northerns and one nice sized Rock Bass.

[WIFisher]

I was out there on Sunday for about an hour. Caught 2 decent crappies and a few nice gills. Snapped off on something big too.. Then we pulled a guy with a suburban out of the ditch on the road going into the Cumberland Access.. There is a bad corner there where 2 people went in the ditch in 2 days.. Be careful and good luck
