I will post some pics of how we do down here on West Rush Lake but look forward to seeing how my home lake kicks off the year. Lets see some pics with Latitude Longitude coordinates ;) 

Good Luck fishing everyone, stay safe!

Andy,

I like hot hot hot! Our part of the lake? Deep? Chubs? We had a big graduation at UM today and have to see if we can get my dad out of the hospital. So now I hope to get to the lake Tuesday or Wednesday. I've been think about fishing all day.

First and foremost, I was really surprised by the weather. Shoot, my Storm app (I think that's Accuweather) showed Cook at sunny mid to low 60's with no wind...When I got out there (Frazer / Smarts Bay area) at around 6:30, it was 39 and freezing, albeit I didn't have my usual cold weather clothes I left back in Plymouth. Sun finally tried to come out around 2 or 3 but barely made feel warmed because of the intermittent clouds...

 

Fished lots of Narrows and did especially well around 20 feet using rainbows and a simple Lindy Rig. Tried deeper (35 feet) in a few areas (mostly Smart's Bay), but didn't fare well and didn't see many fish (or any) on my graph. In addition, I wasn't too patient.  The bonus was catching a 19 incher which was fun to filet. We've been lake owners since 2004 and not sure I was ever able to do that!!

 

Great to be back up in God's Country, see friends, fish, and enjoy the beautiful treasure we all love!

 

Andy

Pulled into West Rush Public launch and it was packed up to the street. Was able to stumble upon some crappie for mothers day however, it was a fun day on the soft water with the girls.

      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. 😉

      Haven't owned a hand auger in ages. Three feet of ice, couldn't imagine hand drilling a bunch of holes. I have an old gas auger you can use, if you can get it going 😀.
