Jack Lake, Has anyone been there lately ?

Headed up there today, just wondering if anyone else has tried this lake this year?

I might be going there tomorrow, if you went there can u tell me how much ice is there ?
Did u catch anything ? I have a trailer up there and for the past 2summers I been going up there, good lake...

Thanks and tight line

Hi Rod,

No takers today. The ice was between 12-14".

Thanks Cirinnaf, I might go there tomorrow, what were you fishing for , which bays did u go to ?

Thanks again

I only tried Redmond bay. I'm not very familiar with the other parts of the lake. Where do you recommend I try?

would you say all the bays would probley have the same ice conditions ?

Hey Cirinnaf, I would say when u come out from redmonds turn left and walk towards the middle of the lake, there is a deeper part there that goes from 19 to 28 ft of water, or go to brook bay close to the marina jacks lake lodge, there is a island there, crappies and walleye 25 to 38 ft of water, hope this can help, I just got back from simcoe, marked lots of fish had 5 followers and nothing

Hi Hooknup
it's a fairly deep lake in parts so I can say yes, but if you drive towards the marina jacks lake lodge, they might be able to help you out on that, did you ever fished there ?

Hi Rod I fish Jack in the summer and fall for muskie for about a decade but have only fished it once in the winter and did not catch anything.. It is difficult to get accurate ice conditions or the lake so have not been up this year . Do you know if you can fish sharpes bay in the winter ?

Hey hooknup,
I think sharpes bay is open, maybe you should check on regulations for jacks lake, I don't want to give you the wrong information...

Tight line🎣🎣🎣

Sharpes is open, as in regs however not sure on ice conditions. The narrows never really freezes solid due to current. avoid the narrows at all costs!

Good Luck!

Hi Terry, welcome to the board, do you fish a lot at jacks? I am from the trailer park...

Hey Rod, ya brutha....I'm from the park beside you, mine is right behind Donnie and Mike's. We met a few times this summer!

I actually went up and stayed in the trailer a few weeks ago during the warm spell, Went fishing with Stuart to some back lakes on the quads......caught nothing though!

Terry

Oh nice buddy, I might be going up there this Sunday, hit me up if u go this summer up there,my trailer is Stuart's aunts old trailer

Went out on sunday afternoon for a couple hours didn't catch any but did have a few bites ... the bite was very light . Gonna try down at sharpes next time out.. Ice was over 12 "
