I would like to head out there on Saturday to hopefully catch a couple panfish. Does there seem to be a time of day that is working better than others? Thanks for any info!

Thanks for the info. Washington is the only place we fish as well. Please let me know how you do on other lakes. If i can remember right i think 2nd is 15'. Is that the depth you fish at? I fished the bottle neck on 2nd last year and cought nothing. Any suggestions?

I went out to Washington today off of the North Side access didn't catch anything. Had a couple bites but no fish in the pale. Had a couple Tip-Ups out but nothing there either. The ice was a good 8 inches. I was in 9 or so feet of water couldn't tell if there were weeds or not. Had a fun time, it was a great feeling getting back out there and ice fishing even tho there were no fish! smile

Yup, there are a couple of permanent houses out in the flats straight east of Westwood as you head for the narrows. Three out on Madison in the narrows also. Found 7" of good ice there today along with a very slow bite. Hitting Washington tommorrow hopefully around second point.

We went out near 1st point and caught 12" eye and one crappie. Not to good in 8 hrs of fishing. Maybe this low presure will pick up the bite a bit. Good luck out there.

anybody have any luck on washington this past weekend? if so could you give me some ideas where to go, I was thinking of going tomorrow morning. if you wouldn't mind giving me a good place to start you could email ([email protected]) or PM. any info would really be appreciated. Is there any smaller lakes that are producing now. Crappies or walleyes would be my preference. thanks for any help.

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits

      That's part of it.  Several recent years of drought have definitely played a role.   There's other factors too.  MN does not allow importation of live bait from other states either.  That really affects the amount of golden shiners available, most of which are not trapped here.  In other words, demand exceeds supply.   Lots of bait trappers and dealers have simply hung it up in recent years.  Its hard work for not much money.  The two nearest me are both done as of last October.  They both told me its just not worth it anymore.  One of them had been there for 45 years.   My advice would be to learn how to effectively fish with artificial lures more often.  I've slowly weened myself off the use of live bait nowadays.

      Think the Free crawlers in the back yard are going to take a hit this summer! 🤭

      Correction, rainbow minnows are at least 75 cents each, and leeches are $60 per pound. lol

      Their coming! Was poking around southern center mn last Friday and found about 20 on a hill side, all to small to pick yet.  Spots on the GPS! 🤗

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.
