FIshing Report JAN 6,7 8th

[woodduck]

Very good 14-18 inches of ice everywhere we fished. Some rough ice and at least two decent heaves. Very little snow so easy going everywhere. We got to the lake early Friday morning and had to really jump around to find the right area, depth structure that the fish were on. We finally found some perch around noon and pretty much fished that are the next 2 days. Decent fish with alot of dinks to sort through. Also caught a few decent walleye at night and morning. Some big eelpout and a couple northerns as well. No one bait was hot, we kept mixing up hte presentation and that seemed to be a good thing. We tried Moxies, Center Bar, Horseshoe, and moses area--seemed to find the most fish between 18 and 26 feet although some of our bigger fish were deeper. Bottom makeup important.

Is everyone driving trucks out or mostly 4 wheelers yet?

[Jarrod32]

Yeah...good info. A bunch of us are heading up there on Thursday for a long weekend. I'll post a report when I get back...

[woodduck]

I would think you could drive anything out there. We saw many full size trucks pulling sleeper shacks and trailers. Good Ice.

Went out of Nodak's on Monday. Caught a mixed bag of perch, pike and a few eyes. Like mentioned in previous post nothing was a the go to jig for the day, kept changing up and would pick up a fish or two. Fished out on the humps anywhere from 17-23 fow. The walleyes bit at dawn and dusk and the perch and pike were the action during the day.

Heading back in the am. Will give a report tomorrow.

went out from highbanks. nice people,good road tho the access ontot the lake was pretty steep didnt have any trouble getting off with my ranger, but could see a 2wd having problems if it gets icy mainly because of a good bump at the base of the climb that will slow ya down a bit. once your out a couple hundred yards lake is pretty much wide open to travel.
