Met up with Tom Sawyer and RickG today for some gill action.  Bite was good and had to sort thru the small stuff but a fun day. I was just using red spikes under my moon jigs, clown type color. Put waxies on a few times and nothing. That surprised me. Did not break 9 inches but got some nice eaters. Fish fry time for me and the mrs. :) 6 to 7  inchs of ice and got a bit sloppy.  The clam auger worked just dandy. Only drilled a dozen holes and the battery level did not drop.

I had a good time out there, but it sure is tough pulling gear out on area lakes. Today's warm temps sure didn't help matters, lots of water and slush, a real mess out there.

Be safe!

Today was a tough bite for most of the folks I talked to....myself included. Got some fish, but had to work very hard for the ones caught.

Why do you think that is? Weather conditions were pretty similar.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
