While your there, make a stop at Beaver hill. Biggest whites you will ever see in your life time.

You must be talking about Black Nugget Coal Mine?

Rumtan · #10 01-20-2012, 06:42 AM

YES....thats the one !

OrigNL cast · #11 01-20-2012, 06:47 AM

Dodds and Black Nugget are the same. The summer fishing there was awesome when I was a kid but it was a long drive in the buckboard to get there. I have tried it a couple times in the last few years and got skunked. Its close enough for me to have a go at through the ice if anyone else is interested. I suspect it will be pretty slow and I will need someone to tell lies to to kill the time.

Rumtan · #12 01-20-2012, 07:38 AM

Only the locals know.......thats why I put Dodds as the title. I will have to bring out my fish tv to see whats kicking.

OrigNL cast · #13 01-20-2012, 07:43 AM

When are you heading out there?

Rumtan · #14 01-20-2012, 07:46 AM

I was hoping for Saturday....just need confirmation from the powers that be !

Rumtan · #15 01-20-2012, 02:25 PM

Confirmation granted.....its go time ! We should be there by 10am (give or take a few minutes for errors lol)

OrigNL cast · #16 01-20-2012, 03:37 PM

Probably see you there. Old guy in a red Dodge. Or just listen for the guy cussing at his auger.

Rumtan · #17 01-20-2012, 04:17 PM

I'll be at Ste Anne this weekend. Good thing is if the winds blowing the right way I'll get to smell your cooking it's so good.

Good Luck Mur

Rumtan · #19 01-20-2012, 04:47 PM

Your all welcome to join us......just let us know how many !

bloopbloob · #20 01-20-2012, 05:08 PM

keep us posted! small chance I might make it out there this weekend, but been skunked my only 2 trips out there in the summer... Heard stories of some really big ones coming outta there, and saw some big ones on the fishfinder in the summer when I took my boat out. Its amazing how sharp the drop offs are there. depth change from 2 feet to 20 feet over only a 5 foot span. I'm sure a couple big ones lurk somewhere!

Rumtan · #21 01-22-2012, 05:51 AM

Well we met OrigiNL Cast there and had one great time, Thanks for joinging us on our recon mission.
The ice was thick and there was very little snow, making the walking trecherous. After a quick set up we procceded to fire up the oven and our chef cooked burgers, perogies and some moose sausage (Thanks Brian). No one went away hungry. The lake is quite small and its hard to find a spot that has any depth to it, but we settled for 12-15 feet. The water was too murky to use the camera so we went by feel. All in All the day was fun and the guys had a blast.

Kim473 · #22 01-22-2012, 06:15 AM

Did you catch anything or at least get a bite? Anytime I have ever gone there in the summer, Not even a bite.

Rumtan · #23 01-22-2012, 06:51 AM

Memory is a little foggy as to the fish count......(kidding). I think OrigNL cast may have caught one or two? There seems to be only smaller pan fryers in there according to our research.

OrigNL cast · #24 01-23-2012, 08:15 AM

Had a great time as well. The afternoon was slooooooooooowwww. Should have kept the sausage. Ended up nibbling on the bait on the drive home. BTW, I am going to be taking taxi's from now on. Hope to see you at your derby in Feb. Do you still need any prizes?

Rumtan · #25 01-23-2012, 08:48 AM

Thanks for thinking of the derby and YES we can always use some additional prizes....pm me if you get any that you would like to donate.
