Ida Ice

[SCHMITTY]

Took my fish house out this morning on Ida there is a nice plowed road so it was easy going drilled hole and found almost 9 inches will be trying it tonight. Any word on perm houses on miltona off the east access other than the ones directly north of the access ?? Anyone out on the big part of the lake????

Schmitty: What side of Ida were you on? My dad had a cabin on the west side for 30 years. This is a great lake. Good luck and hold onto your rod. Bill

I just got back in and it was slow going I am on the east side of the lake straight out from the 2nd acess there was alot of people in houses and when I left at 6:30 there were still people out. Is it a night lake??? I will be out bright and early tommorow to try again

This lake can definitley be a night lake. it is very clear. Also don't be afraid to fish deep. I've taken eyes in the fall as deep as 53' of water. Sunnies should be around the weed beds in 10-15' of water, some pretty nice ones can be caught. I'm not real famaliar with the east side, as we did most of our fishing on the west from Schwabs Bay up to Little Ida. Good luck. Bill

I just returned to Alexandria from college for Christmas break and fished Ida off the east acess with one of my high school buddies. I didnt get out there until about 7 o clock and we caught about 4 fish between 7 and 8:15. The walleyes were very small though the biggest was only about 12 inches. All in a all it was a great time and I have caught larger walleyes on that break line. It seems to me that the fish bite later out there.

I was out early this morning 6 or so and caught 3 eyes all were small between 10 and 12 inches not real impressive but where there are little ones there has to be big ones, at least that's what I hoping
