Last week at Jackfish was 17-18 ofice. With a fairly cool week it should still be good for driving I would think. We will be out there as well.

[lockend]

thanks for the update, we have never been there before hope it is as good as i have heard. when i find out what we are driving i will let you know, stop by to say hi if you would like.

[calgarygringo]

We are a dark green silverado 2500 with matching topper. If you want or would like a map to the area several of us fish shoot me a pm. It may save a bit of time to get on the lake if you are going to the southern end.

[gordfishing]

very slow today, 20 inches of ice , people driving all over , we drove on at the boat launch at the campground and headed north

[lockend]

thanks for the update, to bad it didt go your way today,

[cdkeim]

I'll see you guys out there. Will be nice to be able to drive around out there without keeping a nervous eye on the ice. You heading out Sunday Gringo?

Chris

you fishing Jackfish or elsewhere Sunday?

[cdkeim]

this is my first year fishing jackfish, so I have been going there alot. Im torn about going back again, or trying the bay north of the park(is that reddelback or something like that?) to have a fall back spot for the derby incase jackfish isnt producing. I havent fished north of the park before. Maybe I'll do both if I am feeling ambitious.

[WayneChristie]

yup thats Reddelback. whatever you do dont drive across the ice to get there from Jackfish, go back to 873 and go by road the ice on the outside of the islands isnt safe . I may be out and about Sunday, not sure where on Newell yet though

[madatter]

I'm also planning on hitting Newell on Saturday....Jackfish to start!

[cdkeim]

Thanks for the tip Wayne, I'm still learning this lake and I appreciate it. Well if were both cruisin around out there we may run into each other. Might have to get my binoculars out and watch ya to see where your good spots are!!

[WayneChristie]

Im still learning it too, the fish are everywhere but around me most days.!:shark:

[cdkeim]

LOL....I hear ya. As you said though, dont wanna waste your big pike luck until next weekend!

[madatter]

Gonna be at Jackfish tomorrow morning...white F150 with a golden retriever running around.
Might be solo....other guys think its gonna be too cold and might not show!!
Stop by...

[WayneChristie]

was supposed to be plus temps this weekend, now just Sunday til they change their minds again, not much wind though so it wont be bad.

[calgarygringo]

Have you been to badger lately ?

[WayneChristie]

No. way to many lakes with fish in them to hit Badger anymore, for me anyways. They are talking about Jackfish Bay on Newell not the northern one :bad_boys_20:

[harrydude]

Ooh ok.... I never fished Newell yet that is
