Getting out Sunday... Won't be punching holes, still open water fishing.

Really? There is enough open water on the shore to do open water fishing?

[jacenbeers]

I will be heading out on Sunday. I already landed my first hard water fish two weekends ago so it has been a good year already. I hope to do well on Sunday and every weekend thereafter.

Buddy was on star yesterday and he said 6-7 inches of ice on that lake!

i also was planning on hard water fishing and ended up still doing open water fishing too. might go and do some scouting and bring both hard water and open water gear just in case.

[BeeGuy]

That's pretty cool.

got any pics?

[Ken07AOVette]

Might try Sunday

[1bluZebec]

I'm still undecided on where would be the best choice including being the thickest ice and best chance of catching fish of any species. I'm willing to drive 2 hours max from Edmonton. I'm frantically searching for my place of choice still. I want to leave by 6:00am ??? :confused0024:

[JReed]

That's pretty cool.

got any pics?

Having trouble uploading my photos, I'll show ya next time we go fishin

[Flieguy]

I was gonna go tomorrow to chain lakes until I saw the 25km/hr wind forecast.... might just do something else haha

[1bluZebec]

Well yesterday was an amazing first day back on the ice. Now it's started.:sHa_shakeshout: I can't stop looking at icefishing posts,clothes,sonar ,maps ect. My wife is already annoyed with me cause I can't shut up about it lol anyway hope everyone had a great weekend out on the hard water. I sure did:)

[YeeHaw]

Got out yesterday with a few others from the forum. Pike fishing was slow, but nobody got skunked.

[1bluZebec]

If you don't mind me asking. Where were you fishing for pike? I am dying to get out. But I don't thing wabamun has enough ice to get out on yet. Thanks

[yeahright]

took an axe out to Star, it has 8 inches of soft white ice. but make sure u have a good 4x4 to get up that hill!! it hasnt been plowed!!

[FishAb]

Would the man made lakes in Edmonton be froze over enough to ice fish? Such as hermitage park stocked ponds ?

[binnzer32]

Yes they are.. I fish lake x near Edmonton it had terrible Ice. Don't go on where there is reeds and vegitation. Find a bare spot. Where I was had two inches of crappy frozen top water a space then 2 inches black ice. This spot isn't even a km total. Tiny
