As of this morning Al with Morris Point is allowing snowmobiles and 4-wheelers ONLY off of Morris Point’s Ice Road. The same goes for Adrian’s Ice Road (snowmobiles and 4-wheelers only), which is right in front of the Wigwam. NO WHEEL HOUSES quite yet, there was an eager beaver yesterday that tried to press his luck and put his wheel house right in the drink in Four Mile Bay…when will people learn! I know everyone is in a hurry to beat up on the fish, but keep your pants on and we’ll get there very soon…safety first always! The people that are currently fishing on the lake are in 18 – 22 feet of water and having some consistent success.
Yesterday evening, I was sharing a few stories with a couple guys in the fish cleaning house, and they said that they where out from Lighthouse Gap and there was about 8-1/2 inches of ice where they were fishing. They also said that because of the wind we had last week, about a 20 foot wall of snow blew into Lighthouse Gap…that’s crazy! There are most defiantly more Saugers being caught than Walleyes right now, but I’m sure that will change in the next few days as more people are exploring their favorite fishing holes west of Pine Island. As of today we plan on brining our permanent houses out to the lake on Monday or Tuesday, and we’ll be fishing on Wednesday or Thursday for sure. I have yet to get out there and drill a hole and wet a line; I’m giving it a few more days to harden up just a tad bit more. I will keep you all informed as to what’s happening on “The Worlds Best Hard Water Fishery”, Lake of the Woods.
