I agree with the pastor. I have fished it a handful of times thru the ice and have seen a few dink crappie on the camera but never caught any. I have a buddy that does good for the craps in the spring as well but we couldn't get anything going thru the ice. Caught some nice bass in there in open water too. Good luck if you give it a try tho.

Went out this morning. Ice good. 5-7 inches. There was some open water by east ramp. Be careful. I put in in front of trucks and ice was solid there. Fishing real slow. Fished south end 5-7 foot of water. Drilled 10-15 holes. 2 nice gills and about a dozen throwbacks. Quite a few sniffers, buy not many biters. No one doing well. 15 groups on s end. Everyone moving. Barometer was steady with a slight rise from 29.58 at 7am to 29.77 at noon. Catching just wasn't in the cards today. Good luck and be safe if anyone goes out.

Glad to meet you too. One of the best things about ice fishing, which does not happen in many other hunting and fishing activities, is that it allow you to get up and bump elbows with your fellow anglers. Think about it. If your in your tree stand or standing in a river, you really don't want the other guys right there with you, however, ice fishing is a bit more social, which makes it pretty unique. Went out this morn and despite the rain and water on the lake Saturday, the lake withheld its ice nicely. The water drained off, and the cold night firmed things up. Hope you had cleats thought, because it was slick. Still had 5 inches or so of good ice. Fished 6 and 7 foot did best for gills with glow red glow, green glitter and gold horizontal jigs. Had a few dink crappie as well.
If the lake can take 1 more warm rain, I think it will be solid the rest of the week. Good luck if you make it out.

Chomp. Very cool. Glad to hear. That 6 foot must be the magic depth right now. Went out this morn with sweetish nipple. Great time. The ice is still good but lots of water on top. Hoping it gets cold again soon.

Fished South end from 3-7. 5+ inches good ice. 7-10 different people on south end. Did not look north. Fished 4' and 6' water. Caught some gills at 6' depth, no dice at 4. Most fish suspended 3-4 under ice Kept a small handful. Great to be out. Char gill pill and glow red fat boy w/ maggots best. A group of shanties next to us said they were catching some nice crappie.

Hey SN. Thanks for the report. New to site. Been icing since 2004 and have all the gear. Watch a few sites and joined because thought it was time to give back. Thinking about hitting Spencer this afternoon if my friend can come. (Don't want to ice alone too early). Anyway if we hit it, I'll report later. Did u fish NW by big stump on S end or by docks? I had really good luck there in past years and just wondering if you could give me a starting point.
Thanks
Goat
