Hows this for a unmarked hole


Gordie

Recommended Posts

Thisd hole was either left open from a house falling thru or a house that is now on the bottom this is on little Elk lake by my house and three house wnet in last night. I went to shore to get some brush to mark this hole and a guy almost drove into the open hole... if you look close in the background you will see the other house that fell in or check out the ice fishing forum for more pics

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR HOUSE PLEASE MARK THE HOLE

I went to my house on clearwater on tuesday afternoon and my house was partially in. I jacked it up and repositioned it over the "new hole" that was about double the size of my original spear hole. It is amazing how fast those spear holes expand with that south wind blowing under the house and 50 degree weather. I also went through the ice walking out on Sunday in waste deep water, fortunately it was warm enough to walk back to the my house and change clothes but that ice is definitely spotty! Hopefully these cold temps help.

What do you think the deal was Gordie?

I thought I have heard a river goes through the lake is that correct?

This wasnt a spear house this was a angling house the holes were opened from the weekked warm weather and wthe wind pulled the warm air from the house and swirled it around under the house and opened up the holes and deterioated the ice until the house fell in. I posted pics. in the Elk rziver froum and the ice fishing forum of a couple other house that went thru.

Yes there is a current flow but I dont think that had much to do with what happened to these houses. These hoses were never moved off of holes that were growing and the neighbors bros house had three hole that were drill like a cloverleaf on all four corners. and it wasnt paid attention to.

This literally happened over night I was on the lake until almost 2pm the day before and these houses were sitting on the ice just fine I talked with a couple others that were also out the day before and said the same thing.

Saw a big hole like that on the lake I was spearing on this morning. Walked as close to it as I felt comfortable with and tossed in a piece of brush. I figure that should keep someone from walking into it once the top freezes over. Be safe out there and watch where your walking.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
