Big Kandiyohi

[mulefarm]

Going to try and get out for a day. Hopefully they bite

[mulefarm]

Any action out there today?

[mulefarm]

Rained out 

[King Canada]

Crappies and Perch at the right place at the right time but just small Walleyes...big bug hatch over night Saturday into Sunday.

[mulefarm]

Glad to see the crappies showing up! Hopefully they will come back strong.

[mulefarm]

 Couldn’t buy a fish today. With the water temp up, really thought they would bite.

[mulefarm]

Anyone driving on the lake yet?

[Borch]

Maybe in an airboat...

[IceHawk]

Be lucky to find foot travel on there  Checked a few lakes in that area other day most I found was 3 inches and some serious slush pockets. 

[mulefarm]

Any reports?

[eyeguy 54]

Slow!

[IceHawk]

Things are tough down there but fish can be found with some serious effort and knowledge of the lake. My suggestion is get a good game plan in place before going. Some structure is holding fish and some of the obvious spots isn't.  Water is really clear snow pack minimal and the fish have been real spooky! 

[mulefarm]

I’ve got to imagine the ice is a mess?

[IceHawk]

Check it out let us know! Save me a long trip 

[bigbad401]

Can anyone give ice thickness for Big Kandi?  Plan on heading out there on Sat.

 

Thanks!

[IceHawk]

Should be around 20 plus inches just don't get close to the island especially the East tip rock spine some dangerous ice in this vicinity. Good luck please report your success or failure been a tough nut to crack this year.

Let us know how you do, good or bad, please. Pics are awesome!

[bigbad401]

Thanks for the reply.  We are probably going on the lake from Park 2 and staying up in that area.  So not near the point even though that is where we like to fish for opener.  

[mulefarm]

Are they still drilling the cedar trees in?

[mulefarm]

@bigbad401, did you make it out?

[bigbad401]

Made it out on Saturday.  Drove out from the Northern Lights cabins on the south end of the lake.  Was out there for over 8 hours.  We caught 4 perch and 1 walleye.  There were a ton of perch but they did not want to bite.  The walleye was small.

[mulefarm]

Thanks

[mulefarm]

The ice should be out this week.

[Rick]

Thanks for the updates guys.

 

Please keep us posted. The more talk the merrier.

 

Help keep the spirits up.

Mulefarm How was your success this winter on there?  We fished it quite a few times got into some Nice fish  but definitely not the numbers like years past. Caught some big old Catfish through the ice there this winter. WoW some tankers was pleasantly surprised! 

[mulefarm]

Didn’t make it out for ice fishing. Definitely some big cats in there. I believe they were stocked in the early to mid 80’s. There use to be a catfish tournament in August.  Friends said ice was not good and the lake didn’t get the pressure of years past. Hopefully the open water season is better than last year.

[mulefarm]

Anyone chasing crappies?

[Rick]

Not yet for me.

[mulefarm]

Looks like it’s going to be a good opener. 

[bobberineyes]

I was thinking the same thing.
