    Temperature and winds are looking decent for next week. Hoping to get out to chase some Browns. Should Mexico launch be clear?

    I strongly agree with this 3 fish limit. I've seen the river go from being a great pike fishery to a pretty poor one. 40 years ago you could basically go out and jig up a few anytime you wanted. Now it's a struggle to catch a pike in the Thousand Island region. I personally seldom target them except on the ice. Their spawning habitat has been compromised since the seaway was built and they need all the help they can get. Good thing the walleye population seems strong as the bass and pike are definitely hurting.

    Pretty neat.

    Hit the river again yesterday with a group of 8 anglers. It was a slow day with only two pike iced, a 33" and 25". Lots of dink perch but no keepers. The snow, ice layer and some slush made for tough going. Snowmobiles were ok but wheelers would have difficulty. Not sure what today's heat and wind will do but believe it will be a a slushy mess.

    Looks like we are back into winter mode.

    Fished again yesterday and there was 7" of good ice. Glad I could take my 4wheeler, shanty, and heater on the ice as there was a brisk north wind. Lots of dink perch to sort through but ended up with 18 keepers and a 26" pike. Looks like some very cold weather for a few days and then warm again.

    Thanks for the posts. I was hoping Mexico was open.

    With the warm winter temperatures I was wondering if there are any launches on the big lake where I could drop my 18' Lund in to get a jump on the spring brown trout fishing. A couple years ago I had some great fishing in March when we had an early spring. I'd love to get an early start this year as the last two years have been pretty slow for me.

    Fishing again today and we lost about a quarter of the ice we had Saturday. Down to about 8" but still good ice. Tomorrows warm temperatures and wind will likely take out a bunch more. Caught 5 pike and released the 3 smallest which were barely keepers. Perch have been smaller than Saturday and scattered but still ended up with 40.

    I saw a fish swirling on the surface years ago and netted a skinny 37 " pike that had a bullhead lodged in it's gullet. Also once netted a 20" smallmouth with a large bluegill lodged in it's throat. Sometimes their eyes are bigger than their mouth but it is amazing what they can eat. Big lure big fish?

    I heard about the guys that went through. I try not to be very risky at this point in my life. With good ice and lots of possibilities here, I will likely stay north and take advantage of all this area has to offer. So many options on the Indian River Lakes, the River and the Big Lake bays. Thanks for the heads up and concern.

    My friend Rich has a place on Honeoye and did pretty well catching perch and some walleyes. Yesterday he had a slow day. I may run down and join him if the ice holds up. I believe the ice we have should be here for a while. I really like pike, just need to fillet out the Y bones.

    First trip on the ice today. We had a decent day with perch and pike. My buddy hammered the perch but I couldn't get them going. Still had a nice day on the ice. I also heard reports that perch and pike were hitting well on most all of the large bays which have ice.. We were able to take the wheeler and had about a foot of ice..

    LOTI , Ell Bay, Goose Bay, South Bay, and Chippewa can hold perch and I had a friend that caught them in Swan Bay last year. Kring's can also be decent right before ice out. Chaumont Bay also holds nice perch and walleyes when the ice is safe but access is more difficult. I'm a retired teacher from ABay and live in Plessis. Ask at the bait store or someone buying perch and they can steer you to the hot bite.

    Just keep plugging along Pap. At 63 it's not as easy going as it was for me 40 years ago but my passion keeps me going. I'm slower and less mobil now but still get out and work at it. I also try to do some weights training, cardio, and stretching regularly at the gym to maintain what I have left.

    Spent another enjoyable morning with Matt and Stew. Nice way to end the season.

    Wow sounds exciting.

    Hunted Canadian side last three mornings. No big number but we're getting a few each morning. Today we got a couple mallards, a couple bluebills and a couple whistlers. Seem to be very few divers around.

    Nice fish. Don't often get a chance to fish in open water on New Years!

    Wind can certainly have an effect on shot string as you can see shooting cripples. That said, I find if I think about lead I can never hit anything. I always swing though and let instinct take over. Much better results than if I try to think it out.

    Hunted Canada this morning. Not many birds around. We didn't notice the bling tillI got home.
