Ice is gone

Is the ice gone yet.

I asked the question but couldn’t get in with my account so it was posted as a guest.

Thanks nightfisher. Anything on the white jig? May have to give it a go.

Just head straight north from the marina access go about 100 yards you'll be in 75 feet of water drill a hole if there's any Lakers around you should be able to catch them on white jigs.

Have never fished cold lake and have never caught a laker. Have fished around Edmonton a lot for perch, trout, walleye, and jack. Have no idea where to go or what to try. Any info would be appreciated - no ultra secret spots required. Have a 16 foot Lund for summer but would love to know if I can drive on and go for Lakers through the ice. No sled or quad. Thanks in advance.

Lots of pike in 4-5ft water. One at 77cm

How's the fishing been lately?

Hey guys. Fish related but wondering what's the best cabins to rent for a week in the summer. Want to take the family up in august get some fishing in and be able to have a fire and relax. Thanks everyone

Maybe if we get some really strong wind this week. The NASA worldview shows it’s still covered but it’s looking soft as of May 8th

Hey think of going up next week for may long. Figure the ice will be off?

I live here and yes still iced over. Bays are open

Looked at https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov and the lake looks like its still covered in ice

How's the spring thaw doing on the ice? Any open water yet?

Did an overnight on the lake Friday and Sat. Big thank you to the two guy in the side by side that gave me a few pointers. Had a great time lots of Lakers. Cheers

Anyone have recent conditions for the north side towards the island?

How is this lake for walleye?

Never made it out , guys seeing fish but not biting

Never caught or seen anything. Did you end up making it out?

Let me know how u do ...... good luck !!!!

Hey perchee, I was planning on heading out today but it’s super windy. Still might go try for a bit but doubt we would stay out long in this wind

Perchee email me so we aren't blowing up this page. tanner.pedersen@outlook.com

Perchee i might check it out tomorrow

Hey Fishfinder are you heading out to the sandbar anytime soon ?

Thx for the update

No luck for perch today. Talked to a couple guys out there and they weren't having any luck either. Tons of jack cruising around which would explain the perch being skittish. Will try again one of these day's though

Was out punching holes on the sandbar all morning yesterday, drilled a few holes on the east side where the weeds start and the ice was maybe 4%u201D... just a heads up for anyone driving in that area

Good luck ! Please let me know how you do ! Thx

Talked with a fishing guide up there , he’s going this pm for perch , if it’s half decent I will probably go up Thursday night ! Tight lines !!!

Yeah I’ll most likely be going out then for sure. Heading out again this morning as well.

Maybe we could meet up Friday am ?

That's great , caught in 18' hey ? Must be close to the sand bar I imagine ? Thx for the info ! I'm hoping to come up there Thursday night to fish Friday . Are you going out ?

If I go out tomorrow I can drop a couple hotspot markers for a few places I’ve had good luck if that’ll help you out.

Not sure why it is always cutting off my messages but.. I was having some good luck with a 1” grub(orange with the black dot) and slabgrabbers. Landed a 13” one this morning too in a bit deeper of water. Around 18” or so. Using maggots on the slabgrabbers

I was having some good luck with a 1

That's awesome good for you , what's the hook of choice ? Thx

I’ve been catching perch on the sand bar the last few days. 10”-12” ers in 1’ or less of water

Perchee I

First time at cold lake last weekend, me and my old man killed it. Landed prolly 35-40 and one being 13 lbs!

Hey Pawlil11, I have fished for 50 years .... given many ideal lakes to people so they enjoy the sport .....feel for you , fishing must be tough ... best of luck !! Your probably going to need it

Perchee.. maybe you should put in the time and find out for yourself.. pretty easy to sit at home and just hope someone tells you exactly where and when they're biting

Fish

Thanks for all the advice guys. We had a slow weekend. But will be back in the summer on the boat. Tight lines

Well we suck at this ice fishing lake trout lol. Got some bites and landed 2. Kids are about ready. How's it for walleye and pike. And where is the best to be for them. Thanks

Are the perch biting yet at the sandbar ? Thx for any update !!

I know people having luck this winter infront of the ski hill if its trout your after. I had really good luck few weeks ago infront of martineau in 60 ft water.

At french bay not seeing much. Only caught 1. Any advice would be appreciated?

The ice on frenchmans bay is approx 16 to 18 inches .

One last questions guys. Anyone been out at french bay and just the ice thickness? Thanks a bunch
