I fished the tourney and it was a blast. We had a chance to get in the money as my partner lost a nice eye at the hole. Sure wouldn't have won it as the winners had everybody covered.  We caught our crappies pretty quick and I got mine on a small kastmaster tipped with a minnow head. Sunday it was slower and the fish were smaller. Seems most of the walleye are being caught up by the buoy line.  Not in large numbers but the size are decent.

Crane creek has fallen apart. Ice  conditions unsafe. Herard a guy and a quad went  thru and they pulled the guy outsafely

Its been tuff navigating at Mosquito but the ice is solid everywhere I went this past weekend. Cold temps have been helping heard from a friend today that the slushy trails are now frozen but  uneven and bumpy. Shouldnt be a problem fishing until March like last year. Landed my biggest eye  last year off the ice on March 1, At least 8" of ice with some area's with 10". Hope it stays a while.

John is a good guy , I cant wait to get up and see him again.

I fished the north end out from the bait shop and managed a few nice crappies with some throwbacks. I was targeting eyes with no luck. Water has become very stained in the last couple of weeks. Sunday I went down to the south end and tried for some eyes with the same results as the day before. I caught a few small perch. I tried from 21' to 9' of water. Hopefully thing will pick back up as they normally do towards the end of February.

LOl Ice is real good. Just about 3' of snow on it now. I have been getting lots of perch down on the south end by the cemetary and the occaisional eye and a crappie here and there. 2 weeks ago I caught 4 bigmouth bass. North end off the causeway has been great for the crappie and the occasional eye. Seems like the Bouy line up North has been better for the eyes. Water is super stained at the bouy line about 4" visibility.
