A big thanks goes out to all the board members that helped me with my trip to Cold Lake. Splake you were great thanks for all the info and help. See you next year a little earlier in the season..

All ready been pricing one out.
the fishing was good for the home town boys, as for the fishing on my end I got schooled by Splake.
Good time had by the Calgary guys with the help from Ed and Splake.
I will be back with something called Vexilar

Headed out on the lake via the campground and yes got lost, when a guy in a ranger drove by and said follow me. After fishing for about an hour found out that it was splake.
Used your map but i think I need to go to map reading classes:lol::lol:

At least you caught some. Any kind of sonar will work , just watch for fish at different depths and reel up to them. Gotta get the boat out there and find some good spots. Does Cold Lake open May long ?

Team
The lake is closed till may 20 this year, so no it will not be open for the long weekend. Any thoughts on what sonar to buy.

May 21, so if that is the long weekend, then that's a "Yes".:)

I used an Eagle 480 , but you need to keep the screen warm ( shack ). I had my Lowrance Lcx 15 rigged and ready to go but didn't go. Was going to buy an Eagle 640c color. The Vexilar is available at The Fishinhole , but $$$$$. Check Ebay over the summer. Any size to the fish ?

the biggest our group got was about 8 lbs, but some of the guys around us were catching them in the 15lbs ranges..
