That is encouraging!!! Hopefully with cold weather here we will now be good for the season.

Hendyjohn · Member

Doug do you know how much ice was found and how far out they plan to stake? I am pumped as I was planning a trip up this weekend!

Fife · Formica Flat Vet

Their facebook page said 6-7 inches. It didn't mention how far out.

Hendyjohn · Member

I was watching them on the Bobber Cam and they went out of sight to the West / Northwest and to the Southwest.

Glen Ertl · Gray Goose Captain

I read 4-7" depending....

Hendyjohn · Member

Yep. Facebook say's 4-7".

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

It looks like 4-7" of ice and tat2jonnie is making videos at 21 fow outta Red Door yesterday.

We have colder weather forecast for several nights late this week.

I am liking it ~~ so far so good. smile wink biggrin

I have the Otter portable and my Marcum Showdown 5.6 ready and bangin at the garage door ... to go fishing.

Plus: I have some nice cold ones as a gift to dedicate Glen and Doug's fabulous new boat house / garage.

Perfect....WTG go Glen. MM knows the way to Ertls playground & park.

Damn Mike, my Clam and Marcum are banging at the garage door as well! In fact my Clam is set up in the garage and I've set in side it trying to comfort it and calm it down. Yes I did, I can't wait. Can't wait for good ice to put my permanent house out.

Jon, you and the others at Hunter's, and the other ice wokers at all resorts, be safe!!!!!

Hendyjohn · Member

I'm really hoping Hunters Point will allow wheelers out this weekend! Great video and thanks for the update!!

MCallies · Malmo Bay Bomber

Thanks Tat2Jonnie, that's a very nice video report outta Sandy Beach and Carlsona areas. Wow 26fow. WTG. Where is willie?

Hope you can coax a couple of large willie walleyes to come by there.

Good Luck with all your work down at Hunter's Point...It seems rather quiet there today on the web cam as you have all the aciton up near Red Door and Barnacle's lately. Malmo Mom says so too.

See you at the Red Door Waypoint Cafe in 2 weeks....I have to go calm down the Marcum Showdown system as it wants to be out on the ice of course walleye hunting...

We have a Big A** Blizzard in Colorado today --3-4 snow drifts and 43 mph winds. Kinda Ugly here on Monument Ridge.

Hunters Facebook said they are out staking again today and hope to stake to the mud. If wind doesnt break things up they may open to ATV traffic. biggrin

Yeah......

Let's hope we can make it through tomorrow and Friday, then the wind drops down to nothing ......with even colder temps AND NO SNOW IN THE FORECAST!!!!!!

At least the blizzard coming tomorrow is supposed to miss us to the south.

Nailbiter, ain't it?

I'm more concerned with the drop in air temperature. As cold as its going to get and limited snow cover, we are going to see the ice crack....someplace.

cold..ice contracts

warm...ice explans

Hendyjohn · Member

Is it going to get that cold to make these cracks?

tat2jonnie · Senior Member

The forecast is for 17 mph tomorrow afternoon with gusts out of the northwest at 30 mph and colder temps.

We'll have to have Wayne B. standing by with the rowboats again.............................

It was just about this time last year, when the ice cracked and we had 30 guys stranded past the crack on a twelve mile wide ice cube that was floating around for a month.

Hendyjohn · Member

That would really suck!! Only had 2 outings last year with permanent and was really hoping for a better season this year! Lot's of money spent with house sitting on dry ground!!

Hendyjohn · Member

Sure is!! I think we will be fine. Will be up Friday morning!

Busch Light · Member

Tat2jonnie, did you catch any fish the other night?

we will be up Friday to find out.

EYECONZ · Member

When those guys got stranded last year, there was still open water.

tat2jonnie · Senior Member

Actually, what happened was the lake froze and got cold and cracked after we had 8 inches of ice. There was big wind for a couple of days and it piled the ice up on 2-mile and 3-mile and Piccard point in front of Bobber's place. That opened up 150 yards of open water. I remember, cuz the roads were all staked out and the ice mass shifted to the south, and when we finally got back out to 'em, they were 1/4 mille to the south.

I think we will, too. See ya Friday!

Hendyjohn · Member

Saw on Hunters Point Facebook today they staked out to the Boot and Sliver flat with 6-9". They are going to check ice again tomorrow morning and if all hold up from wind they will open to ATV'S biggrin

tat2jonnie · Senior Member

"They" in this case is going to be me and Marty.

We'll be checking roads again first thing in the morning and will have the results of the check done by 8:00am in time so anyone that wants to get out for the morning bite can do so. So far, we've found no cracks clear out to the flats that we've had a chance to inspect and stake. Of the 8 miles of road that we staked today, the ice thickness was a minimum of 6 inches, with alot of 8-9 inches all the way out and on all of our inner roads as well. All the snow has been blown off the surface of the ice, so bring your ice spikes!!!

Hendyjohn · Member

Awesome!!! Thanks for the update. Leaving north metro around 7:30 or so so should be at resort and unpacked in ice house by 9-9:30. Looking forward to it!!

Hunters Point · Hunters Point Resort Staff

We do have 6-8 inches of ice and are open to atv and snowmobile traffic. We have roads staked out to the mud. Make sure to stop in the resort before heading out so we can fill you in where we have checked.
