Title: people on the ice at Moses LAKE
Post by: luteai on January 16, 2013, 10:49:49 AM: Just two, that is 2, days after the re-freeze and there are folks out on the ice off I-90. I'd love to know the ice thickness, but am not willing to walk out and ask! Anyone know the thickness of the ice here in Moses?

Post by: plugger on January 16, 2013, 07:34:39 PM: I dont know how thick it is, 2' is to thin for me :chuckle: but there where more perch in there this year than i have seen in years and they were dandies. I was fishing for walleye and getting 6 to 8 that were running in the 14" range each trip that I kept and lots more smaller 8 to 12" that we tossed back. Nice to see there is plenty of food to keep the walleye fat. :tup:

JUST A FYI,I think their gonna start caracking down on the fishing off the bridge,if your refering to the I90 one. They have a dock theyre building and I think its going in so no one can fish the freeway

Moses Lake was a fun place to grow up.

Yeah I was referring to that bridge, well that sucks, it was a nice place to catch some perch and walleye during times of the year. Where exactly are they building the dock at?

Post by: plugger on January 18, 2013, 07:47:17 PM: The dock will be in heron park, close to the bridge. I havnt heard anything about not fishing from the bridge however.

Post by: jechicdr on January 18, 2013, 08:05:24 PM: Went ice fishing one time on fish lake over by Wenatchee. No one was on the ice. Any more than one or two...and there probably would not have been any. I walked out with a float tube, life jacket and waders on...just in case. The float tube helped distribute my weight and I was able to fish the heck out of perch there.

Post by: C-Money on January 19, 2013, 05:49:55 PM: Grant County Tech Team responded to an Ice skater threw the ice on Moses Lake, Thursday. Skater self extricated before the team arrived. Thin spots out there for sure. I am at work today, and no ice rescues, lots of fishermen out. Luteai, Did you do any good?

Moses Lake Gun Club donated some money for the dock as well.

Post by: xd2005 on January 22, 2013, 05:10:50 PM: Just to be safe, if you head out on the ice be sure to take a dog on a leash with you. That way, if you fall in you are bound to be saved, one way or another, regardless of who shows up from the forum. :chuckle:
