has anyone been to sallie to see what the ice is doing has to be atleast five or so inches huh? any info would be nice fellas?

probably around 5". I'll have to try and get out of the office and take a peek tomorrrow, but I haven't notice any major heaves or anything like that. I think it might be a little early for "that spot" there panman

Dead --

I am looking to get out there too -- I have a "spot" I would like to try too.

Hitman

I will have to ask my Dad tonight. He lives on Sallie. Not to far away from the access. See if anyone has ventured out there or not. Maybe he will go pop a couple holes if I ask nice.

I'm pretty sure (from hwy59) I saw an atv and house on melisa tonight

I haven't seen anyone out there while I've been at work. There is a wicked pressure ridge that has formed from the Pelican R inlet at Dunton Locks clear out to the west. Never seen one there before. Might not be an issue to many anglers right now, but could be a nasty hidden surprise to a snowmobiler once we get some snow.

thanks guys will be going out there on sat. stop and say hi if you venture out will be out there about noon. hope to find those slabbs.

If I make it out this weekend I'll stop by and say hi panman. I'm sure we'll probably be fishing near the same area.

I wanted to go there too, but some of my friends are pulling me to Pelican and later Big C.

you gots to stand up for yo'self hitman. make your own decisions.

I know -- too much pressure

My Dad said there have been people in the usual first ice spot of the access, but hasn't seen anyone venture further than that. He hasn't been down to the lake to check the ice yet.

sounds good J P i am going to try to sit out there most of the day. Hitman you have to fish where your gut tells you right?

Yeah I hear you.

never to early to chase those slabbs jp?
