ATV travel everywhere in the bay. Use caution if you try to get anywhere out from the bay. Many small perch with some nicer ones mixed in. Pike are being caught and an occasional walleye. Suckers for pike. Perch are taking small minnows, minnow parts, and waxworms or larve on a small jigging spoon like the 1/4 or 1/16oz glow devil. Jigging spoon and full minnow will give you better odds jigging up a pike or eye. Depth......9-13' doesn't really matter. Set yourself up away from others and have a ball.

I was out on Cove all day Thursday. 11 1/2" of ice in the bay. Atv traffic was thick. Lots of Perch, most are small. I got a 35" northern on the rod in the portable while we were jigging for Perch. That was a lot of fun. Other than that nothing to brag about but we had some fun. My favorite spot on the whole lake for early Perch was not quite ready on Thursday. After last few days everything should be just about ready.

We spoke to the owners of Rocky Reef before we went out on Thursday. They told us that while many spots had a solid 4" by Wednesday, some had just frozen over. Now that the cold weather came through it should have froze everything up enough to at least walk. I won't make it back up there until after Christmas unfortunately. I will be fishing the metro this week though if weather holds up. Good luck all!!

Bailey, the area you wanted to go out of now has 8" of ice as of Sat. morning. There were a few areas of open water around there on Wed. I didn't see how much ice was in those areas, but they were froze on Sat. They should have froze on Wed night, Thur morning as the winds calmed down and should now have at least 3". We checked the ice in many spots and one of the spots we couldn't get to because of a 30-40' open water gap that went as far as we could see. The weather doesn't look like it is going to be as cold next week, but the highs should still stay below freezing.

      My go to lures with lead core have been #5 Shad Raps and #7 Jointed Rapalas.  With Shad Raps I usually start about 2 mph with 85 ft of lead out in 20 ft of water. I usually use a 20 ft mono leader.  With Jointed Rapalas I let out 100ft of lead traveling 2 mph.  I am moving between 20 and 25 ft of water.

      My name is HANNA HENRY .I want to give thanks to HAKEEM AHMED for bringing back my ex husband.No one could have ever made me believe that the letter I’m about to write would actually one day be written. I was the world’s biggest skeptic. I never believed in magic spells or anything like this, but I was told by a reliable source (a very close co-worker) that Trust is a very dedicated, gifted, and talented person,It was one of the best things I have ever done. My love life was in shambles; I had been through two divorces and was on the brink of a third. I just couldn’t face another divorce, and I wanted to try harder to make our relationship work, but my husband didn’t seem to care. and he broke up with me again . I was confused and did not know what to do again, rather they got in contact with HAKEEM AHMED. He did a love spell that made my husband come back to me. We are now very much happy with ourselves. HAKEEM AHMED makes him realize how much we love and need each other .This man is for REAL and for good . He can also help you to fix your broken relationship. I had my husband back! It was like a miracle! He suddenly wanted to go to marriage counseling, and we’re doing very, very well , in our love life . contact email [email protected] or text or add him up on whatsApp at: +27788392740 his web page http://astrologerastrology.com

      You'll appreciate having less guys in the boat if you need to drag raps.

      I love pulling lead core but usually don't pull it out until later in the season.  Can you share depth and speed numbers that were working with lead?  Thanks.

      Heading up early Saturday morning. Going to be a short, discombobulated trip this year. Starting with 4 of us but one has to leave to watch his son play in state (WI) baseball tournament on Tuesday. Rest of us are only there until Wednesday. Kind of disappointing but I'm thinking we'll have to make a trip in September as well.    Forecast calls for wind!

      Those are cormorants and they are aggressive fish eaters.  I saw more last weekend than typical on vermilion.  Pretty common  on the east end but I don’t usually see much of any on the west which is where we were.  They eat a lot of fish and surprisingly large fish for their size so they aren’t great for the fish populations.     I can’t believe how fast the water warmed up.  We were seeing up to the high 70’s last weekend.  Typically mid June is mid to upper 60’s.  The Muskies didn’t seem to be too fired up with the quick warm up.  The ones we moved were lazy and would not go in to the turn.  Hopefully some more normal temps this week help.
