Due to other natures early cold snaps ice fishing has gotten off to a solid beginning. Anglers all over are reporting solid ice conditions from northern wisconsin down to the southern harbors. Lately we have been focussing our energy on lake Winnebago and its Upper Lakes.
Solid ice depths from 12''-14'', and the efforts of local fishing clubs, have made for relatively safe motor vehicle travel. As is always the case, use caution when on the ice with any motor vehicle. From what we have found our most productive area have been Lake Poygan and a couple miles out of Brothertown on Lake Winnebago. Mixed bags of perch, walleyes, and white bass have made for days filled with action on the locators and cameras. We are still seeing lots of nuetral fish and loads of shad on the cameras.
From the west shore of Lake Winnebago we saw water which was more stained once you reached the bottom 5' with the camera. Here we saw the Sheephead out-numbering the other species on the camera screen. It seems as if the farther south and east you go the better the fishing becomes on Lake Winnebago.
Our best baits have been Easy Prey spoons and several of the Northland Baitfish series spoons as well. JR's tackle also makes a few of our favorites. The old standby of a Firetiger Jigging Rapala has been our go to bait at all of our locations and in most cases we have been using them without any bait.
As always we are available for more detailed reports by dialing (920) 660-7275 and available for questions via email.
We are happy to announce we will be back on the water full time from late March through October/November. Including Lake Michigan Salmon!
Good Luck and stay safe on the water!
