Thank you. I asked about the access to Kate's Bay, as in where is a spot to drive on without going onto private property. No replies. I am not going to set up 10 feet away from you. It is a big body of water and I've been around. If I do come down there soon I will stop at the little store and ask for directions. Just want to be safe and get into some perch.

The easiest way is to go to the state boat launch just a mile or two south of Garden which is right on Garden Bay. Just North of Garden is a Centrey Link building on the left side of the road. Just past that is a road to the left. It will take right to Kates Bay.

Drive until you see a big windmill on the left, cant miss it it is really big, just before the windmill there is a seasonal road on the right it will take you right to the lake!!!!

Thanks guys. I have a Lakemaster chip which should get me out to where I want to start. Is there a "Shantytown" or just trucks and portables?

[tomjohn]

Both...............

I agree with you 100% tomjohn!! Some of us don't have the luxury of living right next to lbdn so when we ask for some sort of report, whether it is a fishing or ice conditions, it is not to get the "secret spots" that everyone thinks they have, it is just to get a little more familiar with the lake! If I was a bettin' man, I would bet that out of towners bring a bit of money into the area and if they/we keep coming up there and do not catch a thing due to nobody giving up a little information, pretty soon they will go somewhere else! Don't get me wrong, there are some who give out great info! Chris (TBSG) gave me some excellent info about the ice conditions! Once we got up there there was a couple of people that helped out greatly! I hope people start giving out better info!

I have posted very little this year because even though some just want info Others know who I am and where I fish They just come and put to guide shacks one on either side of me by only 50 ft and then rent them out to people who don't care because they paid money to fish. Tipups every where can't fish them myself even if I wanted to.
NO one would ever fish that close in a boat so why do it on the ice?

If I have caught fish it is almost always when other are not in the shacks right next to me It is less bait down to attract them and not as much noise of wheelers and sleds and augers run all around.

anyways been the slowest year for me ever
Just sayn

OK, I'll reply. I have been out fishing nearly every chance I get for the last week. I use a camera. I have seen fish, but I can't get them to take anything I throw down the hole. What the heck does it take to trigger these walleyes?
