Ice Fishing - Old Post

[Seabass77]

A year ago, or more, someone posted a lengthy post on the where the best fishing on LOW is from December - April. Does anyone remember this? Trying to track it down. Looking for name of post or username of poster. <P>Thanks.

Thanks Twitter, thanks fiskynut. Thinking about putting something together for next January.

I know the feeling.<BR>We've already scheduled our first trip for 12/18 - 12/21 to hit early ice in Zipple Bay, and than down to URL for the evening crappie bite if they're cooperating this year. <BR>We made the trip on the same weekend last year, but the crappies didn't turn on on Red (or no-one put in the time to find them yet)<BR>until mid January.....but the early ice on LOW is the best walleye action I've ever had. I think 2 of us caught over 100 walleyes / saugers in a 8 hour period

Seabass and Twitter,<BR>Yepper that early ice bite is indeed some great fishing. I even got a couple of whoppers during that first and second week of December! Last year was great with the early freezeup. Week and a half or so before christmas the mass of small fish moved in and 50 to 100 fish days were kinda the norm! Bring lots of minnows when you go out at that timeframe or you'll be heading in for more! I'm planning on having 2 more huts on the pond for a total of 4 availiable this winter, and they will be over fish!<P>Do you know that you guys can search topics on the LOTW forum all the way back to the early days of FM.com by hilighting the "show all topics" box on the main LOTW page? I think it defaults to 60 days back. By doing this you can search for info and reports from certain times of year from years prior.<P>Winter is coming but the fishing is great right now pulling lures in deep water or baitfishing on the reefs, and oh man that fall jigging bite coming up is most fun and productive too, my favorite time of year. Plenty of fish to be caught before freeze-up!<P>Regards....Fisky

The topic, I believe, was called "Things to do on the big pond". Lot's of good info!!
