Fish the north side by the island today. Slow to say the least. Had some lookers early and ended up with 5 nice crappie and a small perch, caught them in the late afternoon on fatheads and Jammin Jigs. Fished from 9 till 3 for walleye, and 3 till 5:30 for pans.

This was my first time at Mosquito. Parked on the Denman Rd lot, tried four different places before ending up on the east side of the island in about 9' of water. Used Vibes and Jigging
Raps with no luck and decided to go with the smallest creek chubs in he bucket and a Jammin Jigs Pearl/White/Green/Pink Glows Blue Neon Bobber Fry. Have had a lot of luck this year with the neons and the green Bobber Fry jigs in the last couple hours of the day. First year with a Vexilar and it is invaluable, showed them coming up off of the bottom and I had to raise the minnow up slowly a few inches above the fish, they would either take it or swim away, had more swim off than I caught. The smallest besides the little Perch was 10 1/2" up 12 1/2". I plan on going again in a few weeks. Heading down to Trinidad Tobago this weekend for some Caribbean fishing with a friend. If you go this weekend let me know how it goes.

Thats were i started my ice fishing at were u were off denamen rd. Had lots of good times there always used swedish pimples there for the eyes caught some mighty fine crappies up at that end. I love my vexilar i cant keep my eyes off of it. I enjoy watching them fish they way they act. Towards your presentation if they react at all lol, i need to get up there this year Anid give it a try, since i found that shelf down on the south end a few years ago we were catchin some nice eyes right around dusk its hard to leave it i know they will turn on anytime now And i want to make sure im there.
