Title: Indian on Monday
Post by: wapak ice dawg on February 10, 2021, 05:56:31 PM
Fished Indian on Monday, got there a little latter than I had planned, but still on the ice by 9am. Fishing in the area I was in was pretty slow in the beginning, I talked to a couple of guys who were there for the morning saugeye bite and one had 3 keepers, the other guy blanked out, biggest tip they gave me... ya gotta have minnows . I tried fishing in the 4-5' depths but it just wasn't happening for the pan fish, I moved in and on top of the pads in 2 1/2- 3' of water and the bite was steady with quite a few nice crappies with 4 going in the 13 1/2 - 14" class, allot of dink gills but still had several 9" gills , went to my ole reliable saugeye place and finally managed to land some keepers, bait of choice for me( I didn't have minnows) was the rippin rapala , perch color and bluegill colors, left with 3 nice keepers. Can't make it til Friday, stay safe all, I heard someone went through the ice on Sunday and had to be care flighted out, hopefully they recover quickly

Hopefully so!   Never good to hear that!   
Glad you got out and hit some fish!   Surprised they’re that shallow in mid February.    Maybe that’s my problem, I didn’t looks shallow enough yesterday.   Guess it’s still kinda early ice even the calendar says we should be in a mid-ice-season pattern.   There’s probably plenty of oxygen shallow still.
