Pokegama Fishing Reports (Pine City)

[Fisherman45]

Little to no snow left real slick in spots.

[lispeej]

here is the law from page 10 of the regs.

anglers 16 or under may transport legally caught largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, yellow perch, rock bass, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed, green sunfish, orangespotted sunfish, and black, yellow, and brown bullhead. no more than four of each species may be transported at any one time, and any individual fish can be no longer than 10 inches. at no time may water from infested waters be transported. Pokegama has invasive species so other water must be used [spring water from the store]. good luck.

Reinhard.

Thanks for the reminder. I've got that all under control.

I already stocked up on a few 1 gallon jugs of water (store bought) just incase.

I caught a 13" white bass yesterday. Also, I would like to thank the a-holes that rolled up from across the lake in the car (ice looked more like 7 to 8 in the areas I was) and decided to start fishin the holes I just got done drillin. Was in an area with no one around. Real Cool!

Me and the kids are after smaller whitebass. But what were you using for bait?

[minnbowhunter]

I was out a few hours on Wed. Fishing was slow, got enuf for a meal. Ice is in good shape but very little snow and lots of slick spots. Watch your step and wear cleats. There is a new ice heave just out from the north access. It goes across the whole bay. I crossed it at the far west side close to shore. Quite a bit of water on top of the ice at the heave. Be safe.This cold weather should close it up.

Looking for any sort of report from the Poke in regards to the bite and ice conditions, have not been there for a few weeks. Will be there this weekend.

Is there some sort of Fishing Contest in the area, was at Reds bait and think I remember Red saying something about there being one?

[Fisherman45]

14" Ice biting by the island later afternoon was best. Waxies worked well in the morning and minnow and minnow heads on glow spoons 1/8oz caught 2 walleye both on minnow head banging the lure off the bottom and raising it up 12-18" they would shoot up from the bottom and smack it.

[shootr]

Thanks for the info will be out Saturday a.m. hopefully

[seaner]

are guys driving out in trucks yet?

[Fisherman45]

yes but I didn't.

14" inches of ice on wednesday...think there will be 16-17 inches by Saturday? Any more snow cover on the lake over the last few days?

[shootr]

Was up on Saturday fished from 1200 to 600pm in about 18fow, caught about 30 fish, was only able to get 4 crappies that were keepers. Extremly light bite. There is around 16" of ice on the lake. No snow to talk about on the lake, may possible be the reason the fishing is not all that great. The noise from trk/cars moving is loud and travels a great distance further then when there is some snow cover.

Heading back up for Saturday/Sunday hearing some good reports from Cross just wondering if the Poke has picked up any. Brother-in-law and his kid are heading up also, would like to get the Kid on some fish, he is a true die-hard likes to stick with it even if they are not biting. Not enough kids under the age of 14 or so that enjoy the outdoors for what it really is!

[H0LE HOPPER]

I stopped fishing that lake this year but my buddy said hes been catching em but you have to move around a lot to get some keepers. Id just go to cross but if you do go there your best bet would to go in 16 to 18 fow o the south side of the island otherwise try the west side of it

[shootr]

Anything to report from the Poke lately???

[waterat]

A buddy and I went out yesterday am and caught a "few". marked fish but only ended up keeping 15 between the 2 of us,Crappies and 4 super nice gills. fished 15'-18'evrything seemed very finicky....

[JakeE141414]

Any recent update on the ice conditions or if the fish are biting? Some friends and I are heading up there Saturday. Any information is helpful, thanks.

How is the ice holdin up still driven on poke

[Fisherman45]

Still driving everywhere fishing is hit or miss the more you move the more you catch.

[JakeE141414]

Thanks for the update Fisherman45. It helps to know everyone is still driving, we're going to be getting up there early and wanted to make sure the ice was still holding up.

[hardwaterguy08]

how is driving with all the snow how much snow is out there i might take the wheel house out 1 more time but i don't have a wheeler wondering if i can get around with my truck thanks

[ski_otter]

I was up there on sunday and there was still plenty of ice, but if you don't have good clearance you may get stuck. A few half tons were parked in as much of a road as there was and had to back out the way they came in. I'd guess there was a good 15" of ice or so but didn't measure it. Prob 10" of crusty snow

[ski_otter]

is the ice out up there enough to get a boat in?

[budboy]

I would like to know if the ice is out also

[RIPN LIPS]

call the floppy crappie they tell ya

[reinhard1]

Pokegama and Cross are both wide open. good luck.

[The_King48]

How much slush? I was out there last Saturday and there was lots of slush.

[ThndrDkl]

Hey guys,

how's the ice? Any new reports? I'm trying to decide between Pokegama, West Rush, and Green Lake.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Looking for info on the poke. Ice depth, snow cover, possible fishing report?

[Uncle Bill]

Looking for info on the poke. Ice depth, snow cover, possible fishing report?

Ice depth is averaging around 10 inches.

Very minimal snow cover.

Crappie and walleye fishing has been good. Not great, but it helps to be mobile. 4 wheelers are running around and an occasional 1/2 ton truck or smaller vehicles.

Still too early for the truck IMO, but maybe better by this weekend.

Small jig and minnow can't go wrong.
