Well, back from Iowa. Another great Ice Roads event is in the books. All
participants got to experience a world class fishery on Okoboji and all
caught some massive sized Bluegills for their efforts. It was a great time and
we can not wait until next year. Mark you calendars for the second weekend
of March, 2011 for a school dedicated to helping you catch more and bigger
Crappies. Again, this school will be held on a premier body of water(s) for
the species we will be targeting!!

Around here, lots has changed in the past week due to the high temps we
have had over the past few days and now rain here the next few. From this,
Lake Trout season is done. The approaches around Bayfield and Redcliff
are pretty rough and the ice is starting to candle already. No need to take a
chance over this deep water. But, a person is still able to walk on, and fish
nearshore in these areas. Melt is good to turn on the fish and a person may
be able to get into some good brown, splake, and whitefish close to shore.

With talk of weakening ice and eroding shorelines, safety must be touched
on again. Just like first ice, take all precautions necessary to be safe on the
ice. Lifejackets, ice picks, chisels, throw ropes, a buddy, etc etc. Be overly
cautious, as late ice is the worst ice, even though the fishing is good.

The areas with the best bites going for late ice will be; Rivermouth areas,
Second Landing and the bay itself. Look for steelhead, coho, splake and
browns to push shallow near Rivermouths right now. Setline and jigging
techniques will work from 2 feet of water out to 30. Near Second Landing
perch and walleyes are the main target with some pike thrown in as well.
Fish will be pushing shallow, east and west of the landing. Moving and
drilling holes until finding active fish is the name of the game. And in the
bay, fishing will still remain steady and a bit better then mid-winter. Lots of
smelt around and with them will be predators. From the coal dock out to the
lighthouse. Check structure in the bay for active fish too.

Inland waters it is all about panfish now!! Bluegills to crappies to perch, and
the action can be fast and furious. Namekagon, Delta, Pike Lake Chain,
Gogebic, Clam (lower and upper) are all good bets to get some great late ice
panfishing done. On clear water lakes, look for fish to be pushing shallow
as the water starts creeping through the ice and in stained water, check the
basins still. Run and gun, drill lots of holes and use bigger search lures to
find the active (biters) pods of fish. A great time to get kids out and
introduce them to the sport of ice fishing.

And to look to the near future here folks, I want everyone to know that I
have been booking trips the past few weeks for the open water season.
With April closing in, our nearshore trolling bite will be in full swing shortly.
Big browns, splake, steelhead and salmon are our main early season
catches. But, we also offer limited trips for Monster Ice Out Lake Trout as
well. Give a call or e-mail to book your first open water trip of the season.

the ice or water updates. We will be hosting these through
