Buffalo Bay Pike report

[Guest]

Anything happening up there yet boys. I am headed up there this weekend for 4 days hope to hit a few. How is the snow. I hope it is almost nonexistant. Should I bring 4-wheelers or will a truck work fine.

Unless there is a big melt-off this week, a 4 wheeler will NOT be wise.

We just got back from the "trip from hell" up on the bay. Easy going in the mornings, but once it warmed up, everything got soft with NASTY slush pockets EVERYWHERE. As of Sunday there was still about a foot and a half of packed snow with about a foot of slush under that. It's been pretty cold up there the last few days and once it warms, it is going to be even more of a mess.

We blew up 2 sleds and a third caught fire from the hard work of getting around. We also watched 2 trucks TRY to drive out...only made it 10 feet before they were burried to the frame. And every 4 wheeler we saw did not make it very far either, in fact, those who had em kept them parked at the cabins after their first try.

As for the fishing, to put it bluntly...It Sucked.

We managed 2 pike in the 38"+ range, 4 more that were 8-10 lbs, 2 walleye and abouy a dozen jumbo perch in 4 days of fishing between 4 guys. The fish were VERY negative. Never saw so many fish just come up, look at the bait and then swim away...and we tried everything including live bait on a plain hook.

We fished all the good spots on the bay with only the success mentioned above.

I hope you have better luck than we did
