Heading into the weekend the fishing is hot in the 30-33 feet of water range with a large number of keeper sized walleyes and saugers coming up the holes. Smaller glow in the dark pink,pink/white and pink/gold gem-n-eyes on a dead stick or a glow in the dark pink/white,plain pink or pink and gold stop sign,charmer or other smaller spoon type jigs have been the hot ticket. Most of the fish caught have been right off the botoom witha  few being marked suspended. A Vexlar or other flasher has been a very,very effective tool and are highly recommended.Good luck fishing on beautiful Lake of the Woods this weekend!

Fishing report 1-9-17. The fishing in the 17-19 feet of water range has produced a large number of smaller walleyes and saugers with several decent sized keepers and a few slot fish mixed in as well. The bite was steady throughout the day with the bite coming and going in waves. Out deeper in the 30-33 ft of water range the fishing has been hit and miss with several keepers being caught mixed in with a decent number of yearlings. Deadsticks with smaller jigs and plain hooks have been effective using a live fat head as well as jigging smaller spoons and stop signs using a fat head. We have 3 day houses and our cabin left available for this upcoming weekend and don’t forget our mid-week specials begin next Monday! Fish on! We are currently running a Facebook contest for a free day of ice fishing with us over on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sweetsfishing,go check it out!

Hey y’all,Happy New Year!! Over the weekend the fishing slowed down a bit but turned around on Sunday. The fishing in the 24-27 feet of water range has produced a decent amount of fish ranging from the 10 to the 15 inch range with a few bigger fish in the mix as well. The fishing in the 15-21 feet of water range has been producing a solid number of fish early in the mornings to the mid-day with sizes ranging from 12 to 17 inches. The bite in both depths have been predominantly Walleyes with some Saugers in the mix as well. We have seen a few eel pout in the buckets as well over the last few days. The fish are currently biting on smaller jigs with gold or glow in the dark colors being effective as well as plain hooks using the deadstick method with a slip bobber. We have a couple openings over the weekend and we look forward to seeing you on beautiful Lake of the Woods soon!!

The fishing has slowed down a bit with the continuing inconsistent weather but it has begun to steady out as the last couple of days have passed. The fish are biting primarily on the bottom or just a few inches off of it. The hot ticket right now to success continues to be a plain hook with a live fat head on a dead stick with a bobber or jigging a spoon/stop sign/charmer.A vexilar or other fish finders are highly recommended as we are still seeing a decent number of fish coming in suspended. The weather in the next week sees another cold snap coming our way that should build on the current 13-17 inches of ice that we are currently seeing and allow for 1/2 ton vehicles to begin to use our access. We have openings for both sleepers and day houses next week and a couple remaining for next weekend. Also,don’t forget about our Mid-Week Specials beginning January 16th! Happy New Year and good luck fishing on beautiful Lake of the Woods!

The storm didn’t do as much damage to the big lake as it could’ve. The ice is in great shape all things considering. Please remain on the staked trails and talk to your outfitters before venturing out as several spots are still not quite ready for advised travel. We are currently allowing small vehicles such as trackers,side-by-sides,blazers and small jeeps out of our access. The fishing remains pretty solid based on all reports with the hot bite remaining in the early afternoon using a plain hook with a live fat head on a dead stick. Fish on!

Our houses are currently located from 18-25 feet of water and the fishing is varying as the day progresses. Green,pink and gold seem to be the colors of choice either jigging with charmers,spoons or gem-n-eyes or a dead stick using a glow in the dark colored hook with a live fat head. The bite was slow in the late morning but turned on early afternoon and produced several 12-14″ saugers and a few decent sized walleyes. A vexlar is highly recommended as we have seen a few fish suspended. We’ll try to get a more detailed full day report heading into the weekend but things are looking up as the weather steadies back out following the brutal cold snap last weekend. Fish on,
