Title: pan fish and eyes
Post by: wapak ice dawg on January 25, 2015, 08:16:09 PM: fished North Fork yesterday morning, marked fish caught 1 six inch eye, moved to Pony Island , did pretty good on the pan fish, stayed there til dark . Went to North Fork this morning, caught 1 eye ,lost 1 at the hole, marked fish until about 10 am then ghost town. Went to the back side of pony island around noon, when I got there literally everyone walked off the ice and went elsewhere. With only 3-4 feet of water and everyone walking around they must have had the fish spooked because 10 or so minutes when they left I pulled 6 crappies in less than a half hour, caught a few more along with some gills. Moved back to North Fork for the evening bite, with the snow and wind hammering down I only managed to catch 1 saugeye. Game warden showed up, looked at my fish and they (2 wardens) said that was the best catch they looked at so far today. Glad I didn't win a ticket

I was thinking about trying the eyes at North Fork myself but wasn't sure about parking. I don't want to walk miles to fish. Any advice of places to park close to the good fishing spots on the lake?
