Our houses are currently setup in depths ranging from 19’-24’ of water. Guests have found fish coming through in waves with healthy numbers of both keepers and slot fish coming through the holes mixed in with several smaller walleyes, saugers and good size perch. For techniques we have seen wonder bread colored or hammer gold colored jigs with a live fat head producing on the dead sticks along gold buckshots and various colored dirty bombs tipped with a minnow head or shiner producing the best results on the jigging rods. The bite has been steady throughout the day with the strongest times being in the morning.
On the ice front we have found a fairly consistent 10-13” of ice where we are fishing with a couple of stubborn spots in the 8-10” range on the lake. In the Bostic Creek we have found a steady a 8-11” of ice. We have some more good looking cold temperatures coming in middle of the week into the weekend that should build on that ice.
We currently have availability in our on shore cabin during the week this week as well as our day houses. We plan on bringing the sleepers to the big lake mid-week and will have immediate availability in the sleepers once we begin!
