tadster Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 sounds like a good outing. Walleye bite seems to be pretty good in quite a few areas around Spirit Lake. been catching some here and there but nothing crazy. have heard of a few guys really whacking them in the last week or so. glad to hear you had a good weekend.

Esox_Magnum Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 This snow will help thin out the crowds on Spirit Lake, may be snowmobile only for awhile. Picked mine up today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeowegian Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Im gonna go New Years day. Which one is College Island? I've fished the inlet and stoney point the last couple of years and done pretty well. Inlet was usually 6-7 ft of water, off stoney was 4-5..but at stoney, the bite was near dawn and dusk..im assuming cuz it was so shallow. I also found that the deadstick minnow was best...caught alot of big channel cats too..not really what im there for, but they sure put up a good fight!

scoutWBL Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'm planning to head to the cabin on Spirit Lake next Fri. How's the walleye bite going? Last winter I was surprised by how few people we off the lake at dark? Whats up with the night bite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspotout Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I was thinking the same thing.Most everybody would leave right before sundown and the fun would begin.I had a wheelhouse so I would spend a number of nights out there with and pick up a few after 10 PM but the best was 4:30 to 6:00 and the same for the morning bite.The bite was good for 2 weeks until we got the snow perch bit good and the eyes would hit good at dusk let go a bunch of slot fish.I wish some the people wouldn't tie ther portables to my house and drill holes 5 feet from me there is 5000 acres of water out there.

epkirkman Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Talked to a buddy today. I would like to make it up to Spirit Lake next weekend and get the house out. Is that even possible with all the snow you guys got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWBuck Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Doubt it. Unless you have a plow and can plow a path out there. I was on Angler's Monday and there is a BUNCH of snow out there, like everywhere around here. A few houses out there that were there before the big snow, and I'm wondering how they will get them off...maybe a tractor and a blower at some point. Slush on Spirit Lake is an issue too. On Monday the only traffic out there was foot traffic, snowmobiles, and a couple of guys who made a bad decision with a 4 wheeler Good luck.

Agronomist_at_IA Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Was just wondering what travel was like on the lakes with all of the snow. Kind of want to do some Ice fishing, but with 2 foot of snow on the ice I'm thinking it's going to be hell to get around on the lakes. Anyone Have any insite on what travel conditions are on the lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agronomist_at_IA Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Is there anywhere that I guy can get on Spirit Lake that isn't covered with a bunch of snow? Or has had a path plowed/cleared out onto the lake? Marble? The Grade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tspotout Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I was down there this morning and it is not good out there foot travel or snowmachines only.Driving out with a truck is not possible at all unless you want to dig out every 10 feet.We need a few days of melting and then turn cold and then maybe.good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Smiths is hard packed from the snowmobiles you can get out there fairly easy. Bites not the greatest from what I'm hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epkirkman Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeah, I am still around. Had all of my fishing gear stolen except for my ice house. Haven't had the time or energy to replace it. I will be up for the get together next weekend. I heard there were guys plowing out there but I can't confirm it. I will drag the sled up next weekend just in case I can't get the wheelhouse out.Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esox_Magnum Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yes there is a plowed path on Spirit Lake, and a couple guys were out with snowblowers to. Guessing to move or get their permies off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
