Need Some info/ Fishing report

[slicker]

Hey i live up at lake of the woods and i generally come down to blackduck area for summer pan fish fishing. Im thinking about driving down in the following week and looking at gilstad lake. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a plowed road... Fishing report.... or ice thickness any information would be greatly appreciated.

With the warmer temps the past week our anglers are doing a lot more hole hopping on the area lakes and doing very well at the numerous lakes for panfish. This weekend has been a very productive with good numbers of panfish (perch, sunnies and crappies~although better luck with the crappies in the later afternoon hours) coming through the fish cleaning shack. This weekend folks have really spread out and hit many different lakes in the area, with the main mode of travel for our folks being wheelers and sleds. With the warmer temps the snow is decreasing on the lakes and making travel a little easier, but we will see what happens this week as the temps are predicted around the 40 degree mark. Perch bite has been decent on the Duck in the deeper depths and since the fishing derby last weekend travel is a little easier going out of the public access where it was plowed; although there still are two plowed paid accesses on Blackduck.

I was fishing gilstad with slicker on saturday. We started fishing around 1 and at first all we could find was tiny perch, tons of them. We tried some of the deep 40 foot holes and ended up marking a couple things on the vexilar that werent acting like the perch, so i think they were crappie. Then we tried really shallow and ended up with more perch and a bass. We ended up setting up for the evening in 40 feet on the main lake side of the island/point. We started seeing little schools of suspended fish and ended up getting a 10-11 inch crappie, and some smaller ones, along with a sunfish. Then the vexilars went crazy and we marked tons of little lines slowly coming higher and higher of the bottom, another fisherman said bloodworms? Whatever they were we didnt catch or see a fish the rest of the night.
