Re: Mississippi lake 2024 ice fishing & conditions?

I was out on Friday. Went on at Father Pt. There was a good 5 inches of blue ice. Lots of people out as well


Caught a few small perch. The lad 30 yards from me pulled out a nice keeper walleye.

Re: Mississippi Lake

Was out this evening, got on at Father Pt. Drilled probably 30 holes on my path. Nearly a foot of ice. Half black ice half white ice.

Saw a bunch of guys walk to the twin crabs island as well.

Pulled one walleye out of the ice, just a hair smaller than slot size.

Re: Ice Fishing Tips & Tricks

Salt your dead minnows. I cover them in kosher salt and let the dry out until they're crispy. Then I cut them in half and use them on spoons like Swedish pimple or Buckshots. No wasted minnows and, for me anyways, they seem to work as good or better than live ones.

Re: Mississippi Lake

I usually park at the boat trailer parking when going to father Pt. Had the OPP come see me 4 times last year for a license check but never had any issues with parking.

Good morning all!

I keep stumbling on this site during Google searches and figured I'd bite the bullet and register

I'm in rural Eastern Ontario and I have a fishing addiction.
I'm here for support.

Looking forward to the water freezing!
