Strawberry 1-6-11

Hit the marina and was greeted with -4 as expected, only 2 other vehicles in the parking lot[]. Headed out across the main bay to the south with 1-2 inches of snow on 8 - 10 inches of ice. We had to move a few different times and finally got our group of 5 all into fish between 10:30 and 1. We are going to try to hit the same spot on Saturday to see if we have a better am catch. We landed 24 great slots and 1 16 inch bow between 5 of us. All in all a good time. I will get pics on later.

I am planning on being up there Sat morning too. How were the roads into the marina? I don't have the most worthy off road vehicle, and was wondering if I am running the risk of gettin stuck. Glad to hear that the fisihing was good, thanks for the report[]

Snow packed all the way from 40. You should be fine, I was always in 2wd.

Thanks for update, we are heading up Sat. morning. I will post how we did []. We will be down from the marina boat ramp and to the right out from the point. Also to get some fresh air [frown]! Did anybody hit Da Berry today Friday?

A friend aI were on the Soldier Creek side today and... Well... It was good, steady catching from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Never fast. I got 12 rainbows and 6 top end slot cutts. If you have electronics, pay attention to them. Without it I might have caught half dozen. Fish were at all levels.

Did you drive into the Soldier Creek boat launch side or go down the dam side road? Trying to figure out best access this time of year. I have a 4x4, but no sled/ATV.

You have to park at the road and walk or take a sled/ATV to drive anywhere. We just walked down the lake. The road/snowmobile trail was packed and looked like it was drivable for ATV's. Not too sure about getting an ATV on the ice since the snow is pretty deep on the hills but snow wasn't bad on the ice, maybe 6-8". Fairly easy walking in sled tracks.

Was there still open water towards the dam?

Didn't go far enough to see quite that far but I saw nothing but ice upwards of .75 miles from the highway.
