Made it out fishing for a little while yesterday afternoon.
The lakes around our area currently are full of snow. Probably about 12 inches or more in most places. There are areas of slush also. Best bet for travel is a snowmobile if you have it. Otherwise, you are going to want to stay on packed down trails, I helped a few guys get their wheelers unstuck yesterday. Hopefully we can get a melt or very cold weather to take care of the slush. Ice is still 10-12" in most places.

As far as the fishing goes, my dad and I did OK and had a nice meal of sunfish, fishing a weedy flat in about 8-10' of water with small jigs and waxies. Aggresive fish, lots of action.

Looks like a little effort to get out there, but good to hear ya got on some fish! Did you wheeler/sled out or were ya on foot?

You're right though....we could use either a good melt or a solid freeze. Either melt the snow down or make the ice thick enough to drive on. As for me, I won't be driving anywhere in the near future. Damn tranny went out on me the other day and I'm out of yet another $1500+.

I've been doing well with this tint jig 1/64 chart and orange with a waxie somed alot of nice 9" plus sunnies and nice crappies, 6 days ago lost 2 big wallleyes caught 1 out of the three, that night 4 11" crappies and 1 15" walleye. it really slowed down alot now, tonight i had 5 sunnies over 9" no crappies.

Was out monday night got 1 13inch walleye travel was tough with the wheeler but got were I wanted to go. Going 2 try and get out tonight will see how it goes on a different lake.

I hope with the cold coming the slush will freeze. Went to a lake outside of Litchfield last night and was about ready to leave with only one bite and several swim-byes, then the fish moved in (crappies). Ended up with 6 crappie then sloshed my way off the lake. I had a pool of water at my feet that worked as a livewell.

They are talking temps going into -4 to-12 for the next few nighhts. where i've been at been slow to snails pace marking alot of fish but takers are few and very small. so today i am moving house to another location.

Was a good move, wasn't it?

Oh YES big time!!! now sitting on top of a shelf constantly marking fish nailing alot of them tonight. Didnt take long for the temps to drop fast.
