chequamegon bay

Have no idea if I spelled that right.

Anybody know how the ice is out there, and how the action is?

Looking to head over there after the holiday if all works out ok.

Thanks

NOBODY knows how to spell that pesky bay.

Anyone with info?

Good job on the name!!!!
Talked to a co-worker that went out off the S-curves south of Washburn last week before the rain . He said that there was 4-5 inches but it was pretty hairy because it was windy.
He said it was pretty slow only 4 flags and nothing on jigging.Hopefully myself I will beable to get out there after the holidays.

good luck!

FLAGG!!!!

OK, you got me there.

What in the world are the "s-curves" South of Washburn? I fished around Washburn in the summer and fall, but never saw or heard of anyone refer to an "s-curve" before.

Robert,

Great to see ya here. Probably won't be up for ice( not cause I don't want to-- would love to try for the splake and browns ), but I WILL be up in May and/or June for the smallies and would appreciate any info, even though local bait stores and guides do a great job of posting elsewhere on the net.

Even so, keep posting on the ice --- I might not be able to fight the urge to come up.

I would like to come up and fish the bay for smallmouth and walleye. I hear there is a pretty nice motel there in Ashland to stay at. What would be the best plan of action? Go to the bait shops and ask around? Any tips as to timing would be appreciated. Good fishing.

[rascalP]

Lots of motels in Ashland. The pretty nice one will probably run you 2 bills a night though-- not including wine and cheese. Was up there last June and it seems there's a price war midweek. Curvecrest had a sign out advertising $29.99 for a double bed. Looked nice enough and I'll be checking it out this May. Last year we camped north of Drummond to save some money-- about 30 min. from Asland depending on how many roadsides you stop at .

Hey robert492 when those perch wont bite drop a 100th oz white glow jig down tipped with a spike and see what they do.
When we leave Club 13 and drive north the highway is always nothing but s curves.

[Guest]

Robert or anyone else on the board. I will be coming up to the bay the weekend of the 25th. I've never ice-fished it before, and am looking for someone to answer the tons of questions I have. My email is [email protected].
