Bresler on 1-4-2015 in the Snow

[toadfish]

I fished on Bresler all alone on 1-4-2015 from 3:30PM to 7:00PM on the north side between the two woods about 40-50 yards from shore.  Lots of marks, a few bumps and one fish hooked but not landed.  They may have been crappie or gills.  Tried blue/silver jiggin rap with red spikes and a hali dropper rig with a wax worm.  Snowing hard and stiff NW wind.  Lots of holes around the area I was in but no sign of anything being caught.

How was ice

[toadfish]

Good ice where I was, guessing about 9-11" thick.

Thanks may try this weekend did real good last February

Thinking about going Sunday morning. Anyone going? Is there any structure on the bottom? We fished the south side last week at 12 fow and didn't see one fish. I guess they are all deep?

[toadfish]

Nags and zoeconner, report back if you go out and if you catch anything or not.  Good luck!

Did pretty well in the morning. Seen a ton of fish an camera. Caught some monster perch.

Zoeconner, Which side of Bresler did you get the perch?  I would love to try to catch some of them.  Problem is, not much time this week.   Wondering how the ice is after that warm-up.

Great Map WBallard77!  Where did you get it?  I would love to have the same for Ferguson, Metzger, Lost Creek and Lima Lake.

The North side. Ice was fine. At least 10" of ice. If I didn't have a camera I wouldn't have even caught them. Very lite bite. I have 2 buddies with me and they only caught one.

Nice perch!
I used to catch some huge perch at Bressler, Metzger, and Ferguson on soft craws in the late spring/early summer.
