Fished the point west of Yacht club.. the same area everyone usually fishes. Fished with a couple friends of mine who havent made it out yet to atwood. We fished from around 150 to 5pm.. Everyone seemed to be packin it in for the day im assuming they were there since morning. talked to a few guys that said they couldnt get em to hit a minnow and some guys said they couldnt get a fish to bite in over an hr and half. We fished mainly from 8 to 11fow. between the 3 of us our gloves were solid ice from handling so many fish. it was up and down for the most part. My buddys were using waxworms on bigger style attracter pimples with drop single hooks. Green in color. they got some really nice gills 8 to 9n half inchs. and of course the 6 to 8 inch crappies. Only managed one keeper crappie during that time between the 3 of us.. and plenty of white bass. I fished white and glow soft plastic tails on white and glow jigs. fishing with 3lb test made it hard when the white bass came in. had a few break offs. but kept steady with little crappie and gills. Gills seemed to be a ft off bottom to bottom and the same with whitebass. occasionally a few high would chase in a bumch of shad and i would pick a few then. crappies were of course suspended most of the time. Coming in schools it was up and down for the most part the whole time. until my hands got cold then i would just relax a few. Ice was everybit around 8 inchs? it was good clear solid ice as well. I dont think a day warm up is going to hurt this lake as good as the ice looks. Could be wrong but treat no ice as "safe ice" Morning bite to afternoon seems to be better. Sorry no pics as i didnt keep any fish gave them to the guys i was fishing with but we ended up with 25 keeper gills and 4 whitebass and 1 keeper crappie

Eyelander.. start shallow wherever you go.and if you dont get any takers move deeper. . they can be anywhere from 12 to 22fow.. most guys dont fish any more than 12 to 18. shallow to deep breaks on just about any flat or point holds fish. Just a matter of gettin a feeding school. Or a few singles..The "Roadbed" is a popular spot. just north of it you'll see a pack of guys you can usually talk to just about any of the guys out there and they'll give you a heads up on how the bite has been and what might be working that day or the day before.. Reservoir fishing is tuff. Especially on berlin their here today gone tomorrow. Hardly ever is there a feeding school in a particular spot for more than 3 days. Thats my own personal experience. But there are some nice walleyes there. A couple 10lbers were caught last yr north of 224 around the road bed. Vibees are your popular go to baits. and 95% of the time thats what i fish with.3/16 to 3/8.. different vibration hones in each size sometime a different pitch will trigger em to fire. Other baits are your jiggn raps and jiggn shad raps..these have turned into being popular fish catchers as well.

Alright thanks banker. I'll have to PM one of you guys or dave for directions and what not here in the next day or 2. I'm sure i will join up with you guys on the 8th. Might come down the 7th for a lil fishing as well. and try and find a place to stay for the night. But thats just now in the works so we'll see. thanks again.

Fished the roadbed from sunrise to around 930.. rolled 3 in 20fow.. i fished vibees tight to bottom. it was def slow didnt see any fish caught.. So decided to make a move.. I fished the east shoreline humps around a 1000 yrds north of Less's on the north side of 224..in 15fow for the remainder of the day.. I rolled a couple as soon as i got there and lost im guessing around a 7 lber at the hole just a absolute pig. couldnt get her head to come up through the hole she made a few runs back down after seeing daylight and my vibee hooked the bottom of the ice and that was all she wrote.. she came off i ended up with a wet arm for the rest of the day.. Ended up turning on big time in the evening. the last 2 hours of light was great. Caught and released around 15 shorts.. and ended up with 2 one at 18 and one at 16. rolled at least 20 fish in the last hour or so of light.. i fished 3/16 to 3/8 vibees bigger fish came on the bigger profile vibee 1/4s and 3/8s hot colors today were firetiger.. yellow tiger..gold tiger..solid gold and blue glitter all picked up fish. Short hops from 6 to 12 inchs seem to be the ticket.. fish were in the mudd.. tight to the ground. took a lil ticing to get em up to fire.  Ice was around 3 inchs. closer to 3 than 2. some spots with snow on the ice is thinner. so be careful if you venture out and stay clear of the spring holes. their hard to see but i noticed they were wet on my way back in.

Fished the yacht club area from 945 to 2pm. fished mainly in 10 fow.. I used soft plastic squiggly tails "Fiscas" with a 3mm tungston jig head.. got 23 keepers over 9 of course with around 50 at leaast! throwbacks.. caught a few gills and whitebass and rockbass as well.. white and glow in the dark tails on glow jig worked great. schools were moving in quick and managed to get em while they were there.. and picked a few singles floating around.. bigger fish seemed to in water colum 5ft up from bottom. crusin through i got a few 10s and 11s did get one 12 and lost a couple at the hole that were keepers. ICE was crackin and popping.. id imagine their still letting water out..noticedsome different shore ice popped up on bank on way out. Ice was around 6 or 7 inchs

Ice is locked up at the community hole out in front of the point.. "yacht club" area. Ice was 2 to 4 inchs depending where i drilled. STAY AWAY from the channels. its very thin!. I was prepared to go in wearing my neoprene waders and a life jacket and my spikes along with my spud bar. even after finding what seemed to be around 3 inchs of clear ice i kept all my safety gear on. I ended up catching around 25 crappie from 1245 to 230. only 1 keeper at 11 inchs and plenty of 5 to 6 inch crappies.. one was around 8 inchs.. I also caught 2 channel cats over 15 inchs and 2 white bass lots of shad were in the area. also had one heavy fish snap my line 2 ft from the hole.. assuming it was a big cat. had my hands not got cold i would have taken more pictures and better ones at that. I would advise anyone who is inexperienced with ice fishing or with the lake to take a partner. and if the ice doesnt look good its not good. use caution with early ice. I fished in 11fow.. most of the active fish were in the column from 5 to 10. Minnows and waxworms will do the trick. i used gold and chartruese colors today since the water was stained (normal for atwood).
