Went out for a few hours and did ok. Came home with 5 nice crappies and a bluegill. Caught 15 small saugeye and one 14.5" all throwbacks. The crappie and saugeye were caught on an orange slender spoon. We fished 6-7 ft of water, ice was 6-7 inches.
Thank you for the ice update and report. I have only fished that lake once and am hoping to be there Sunday morning. I feel better hearing the ice is good. Is most of the Lake safe or are there areas that are known to be thinner than others typically?
GreenPea,use a spud bar in current areas such as mouths of channels,streams n rivers. A little common sense and youll be fine. Bring a buddy and catch them all. Leave your rattle traps home. Vibes,pimples and spoons is what the locals dont tell us outta towners who own the lake aslo.
CrapPie, Thank you for the tips. I'm heading there before sun up tomorrow morning and plan on being there most of the day. My drive is about 1 1/2 hours so time ti hit the sack. Good luck to everyone out there tomorrow.
I fished north fork in the morning, marked fish, they would follow the vibe but not hit, caught 1 about 7" long (saugeye). Went to another area caught blue gill all day and some real nice crappie. We were only in 3.5- 4' of water
