Sounds like my story at Lac Ste. Anne for the past 4 outings...

Not a single fish in over 25 hours fished, haven't seen anything on camera either...

Very frustrating.

We were out for several hours today, just north of the Brownlow's Shanty Town, and had one bite between three of us. My guess is that it was a perch, by the way it looked and fought, but it was on a rapala that I was playing with lol - can't imagine a perch biting that big of a hook. Needless to say, I didn't land him, so the skunking continues.

Cheers,
Jay

Sounds all too familiar... Was out all day yesterday at Brownlows with 3 of my buddies... Only caught one small perch. We were setup near Shanty Village. From what I gathered, it was a slow day for all. Glad to hear it's not just us, but it still sucks that it's fishing that bad.

Better luck next time!

I was out a bit north of Brownlows the other day, and had little perch chasing and chewing at a rattling rap with no bait that I was messing around with. They were coming right off bottom, up to around 3-4 feet below the ice. Hungry little buggers.

Jbeau...are you in a tent while fishing fo whites? If not pretty tough to catch them on that lake without seeing them.

[JBEAU]

Ya we've got a tent....but didnt see a thing though

[HuyFishin]

Not as bad as me, 5 days on pigeon and no fish :(

[Kim473]

Full moon just past a short time ago. Wait for a week or two and the bite will be on. Probably warmer too.

[Mudder Man]

No problem for Nelly and myself to get our Limit yesterday. Tons of fish down the 10 inch hole and on the Camera. Saw 4 of the species in the lake as well.

play safe everyone

Geesh I will have to call it Catching and not Fishing, went back to the SPOT and hit my 3 Whites in 16 minutes to the TEEEEE. I would have done it sooner likely but I had to do a retie after the 1st Fish. All very nice Whites to boot. Guess I tied up the perfect Wireworm and mastered the right twitch!!!

Play safe and have fun everyone, my neighbors get to eat fresh Fish tonight.

Are guys driving trucks out at Brownlows or still quads and sleds only?

[Tussell]

Trucks all over the place.

Thanks for the ice update, going to give it a try this week.

I'm new to the area, can anyone tell me where the Brownlows area is and how to get there? Or any point of Gull lake that is accessible by truck? I am hoping to get out this coming weekend to test out some of the Christmas gear.

Thanks

was there on Sunday, lots of drifts and hard to navigate.

[General Practitioner]

Thanks for the directions and map link!

Hopefully I'll find a path I can drive through.

[Kim473]

Was thinking of hitting it myself if the weather is decent.
