Coal Lake Sunday
 

Anyone want to meet at Coal Lake Sunday for a little fishing? We are meeting at the North parking lot at 10 am Sunday. Should be a blast.

Coal Lake
 

ya man ill be out there between 9 and 11 but im comeing i hear BBJ and his buddys are comeing tooo now changed there minds from Pigon

I'll be out their as well, driving a maroon Ford 150 4x4 Extended cab. Back window has a sticker saying "I HUNT".

Lake
 

im taking my quad adn driveing that on the ice i hear its not a good lake for driveing on says BBJ so quad it is red honda blue 05 duramax diesel

I've been driving on the lake since before Xmas, we even had the 1 ton welding truck with a deck and no problems.

is it 4x4v only
 

Just wondering if this lake is 4x4 accessable only or would it be better to bring a quad like hillbillybarry said he is doing???

I will be bringing my quad.....i haul it on a flat deck trailer then i haul the trailer with the quad and all gear on the trailer.....life is good when ya preplan a trip (now if i can just remember bait)

I was out there yesterday and not even a bite. Left the lake at dark around 6:30. Water was very murky with a milky tinge to it. Couldn't see anything on my camera including our lures. Is this milky water common for coal or could it have been the runoff from the rain we had all day on us?

Wow....it may have been the rain, I didnt think it was that bad out there tho? Did you happen to move spots at all? same result? I ll try a spot thats unused and see how we do......take the road less travelled (not the ice road)

We were on the south end about 2 km down, almost straight east of that plant on the west side. We never tried any other spots either. Let us know if the milk is back this weekend, and how you made out.

I dont think its Milky was like that in the summer to , I think its just very muddy , not sure though .

WAYY OFF TOPIC but whats that "Team Alberta Ice Shanty.com" thing in your signature?

Im on team alberta which is an online tournament kind of fun. and Ice Shanty would be an icefishing forum.

Well I will have to check back here on Saturday.
I may come out for a bit on Sunday.

It would be great to meet you.

Going to be a good time, always great fishing with Rumtan and BBJ. Looking forwards to meeting a few other forum members.

Cheers, hope to see a few of you out there on Sunday.

BBJ & Anvil
What are yu guys driving?

If I can make it out I will have a pewter colored Chev 2500HD Duramax crew cab short box with camo 4X4 decals

I have a red quad pulling a flat deck trailer with all our crap on it (including a few fishermen) I wont be driving my truck on the ice because the quad is more fun. Drop by we are cooking hamburgers on BBJ`s stove....bring something to add and you ll fit right in.

i'll be out i drive a blue ford ranger with 4 big KC off road lights on the grillgaurd.. and john drives a blue dodge ram with gitr dun decals in the rear window

Where abouts will everyone be fishing? North end , east side?

north end where 616 crosses

North side , jsut off 616 there . Just look for a big group of people , mostly dressed in camo LOL .

So, any luck guys? I got skunked today, just looking for some success today.

So how did you guys make out?
The cooking of the Bacon Explosion brought too many people to my house and I couldnt get way. Next time I have to hook up with you guys!!!

The group kept one pike and a perch.

Good times, good people and great food. Good to meet everyone, probably see yah at Wabamum in a couple weeks.

Fishing was great this morning , Our buddy caught a 38 in Pike weight just under 15 lbs , 14 oz , nice and fat . My sister caught a 26 inch pike , Anvils wife caught a 9 inch perch , RUmtan caught another pike looked pretty good unsure of the size . Fishing was pretty good lots of bites , tip ups went of quite a few times but slow to the draw .

Heres the big pike , more pictures to follow .
