Quiet

[wahoo]

Cannot believe there is no info on the Brainerd forum.  Nothing on ice thickness to bites.  So fished small lakes near Cushing, Browerville, etc.  8"of ice for most part.

Northerns biting.  Have not spent time on panfish hear those on these little lakes are getting a few.     

Have a great holiday.

Thx for the report !  Be the man up there.

Thanks for the report, hopefully you helped start something.

 

I haven't made it to the ice yet this season.   But reports are pretty slow here locally, Cushing, Lincoln area.  Some crappie action on Alex, and a few of the smaller lakes, fish trending small.

Walleyes on the big three, have provided only limited success,  people I have talked to have kinda struggled to get on a good bite just one here and there.

I know of a few that have been out but they also have not hit a good bite yet.  Surprising....

 

The only day I've had a chance to go so far, I spent deer hunting since the ice was still marginal.

 

Lots of Christmas and New Year gatherings going on since last week and on into next week.  Hoping to squeeze in a few hours soon though.

Was able to get out with my son yesterday before the wind hit.  We caught a few bluegills in 8-10 FOW.  We didn't work super hard, but it seemed the fish that showed up, bit.  Was nice to get out... I've haven't heard many, if any, glowing reports either.  A nice dose of steady weather probably wouldn't hurt.

I slipped out yesterday afternoon, knowing full well it was going to suck.  And it did...

 

I got one tip up set up and then made some exploration holes, leap frogging the tip up to stay within the legal distance.  Tried jigging up some pannies but only marked one that wouldn't come too close.  I can just say it was a good day to dust off the gear.

 

I did hear of a good walleye bite in the area last night so something was eating.

So, what area is that? Not looking for hot spots of GPS cords!

Well played. Have you tried the Giovanni's Pizza yet on the next block?

[Wanderer]

Thought you might get a chuckle outta that. 

 

I can say somewhere south of the waypoint but they weren't my fish/not my find so I'll keep it hush.

 

Haven't tried Giovanni's yet.

made it out this for the evening bite today on a lake in Baxter.  Very slow though did get a few above average perch.  Lakes around here seem pretty sparse in fisherman from what I am used to in years past.  A good 12 inches on the lake i was on tonight. fished the same lake a few weeks ago at first ice and had no luck.  been a tough start. Bring your ice cleats!

Well you tack down a few spots in your new area and may be we can meet up some weekend with sleds and portys and I can share one north of there on my way by LF.
