CANADOHTA LAKE ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT!

Jerry, could you please give us regular updates on ice conditions.  this week's forecast is an ice killer.  we may need a bridge built to get us out to the ice.  

A friday update would be great.  This weather is not helping the situation.  12 hours of 26 degrees previous to tourney is only going to make your back side pucker up when you pop though the top layer and squish though 6" of slush then hit ice.  I'm sure the edges are also getting sketchy.  I hope I'm wrong can't wait to fish. 

Just left the lake, the ice is 14-15 inches thick. 8 inches of black ice. No slush on top. Hardly any water. The edges are getting a little soft but plenty of places to get on the ice. Stay away from the free beach and dam. Remember you ice cleats and good boots!

if everyone brings a 2x4 and some nails, we can build a kick butt bridge out to the good ice...  just in case.    see U guys out there.  we'll be burning the midnight oil.  

want to thank timberland baits for having the tourney!!!what a great thing to do on a weekend. met lots of great people on the ice and had a hell of a time. it REALLY sucked catching only one 6.5 inch perch. my fishing pal got about 20 3-4 inch perch and a handful of 6.5-8 inchers and only having wind and big chubs pop flags, man the wind was ripping HARD the whole first day. but all in all was awsome. camped out on the ice for the first time waking up to insane cracking sounds is just nuts kinda sounded like a rifle going off ... that lake was just going off the chain about 3am and all morning until like noonish never heard any ice crack like that

no legal muskie where caught the guys next to us caught a 38 incher the first morning that was the only one and winning northern was 34.75 inches i believe

thanks jerry and all that helped. i will be back next year for sure and if you end up having another single day one that would b awsome.. maybe next time you wont need the lantern for the bait shop lol...
