Hey everyone! We hope everyone is having a Happy New Year and had a safe and happy Holiday Season!

Up here on the big lake our houses are fishing in 26-28′ of water and finding the fish! Our houses are reporting several saugers being brought up the holes as well as some keeper sized Walleyes! We have also been seeing a few nice sized Perch,Pout and even the occasional Crappie! The hot jigs so far this season have been Pink,Green or Gold buckshot or jigging spoons tipped with a minnow head. As for the dead sticks the hot ticket so far has been a plain Red hook with a live minnow 6″ off the bottom!

As for our road we plan to be expanding it this week! Currently we are allowing 1/2 Ton pick ups pulling smaller wheel houses, ATV/Side by Sides pulling wheel houses and snowmobiles out of our access! We are finding anywhere from 15-20 inches of ice in the areas we travel and fish. Please stay close to the traveled areas as the ice isn’t consistent across the lake! Hopefully mother nature will cooperate soon and give us some good ice making temps! We have openings in the day houses on the weekends throughout the month as well as several mid-week sleeper openings throughout January as well as weekend openings in February! Give us a call at 218-368-7323 and book your 2021 Ice Fishing Adventure with Sweet’s Fishing today!

Hey everyone! We are anxiously awaiting the ice fishing season! We will be waiting until Monday, December 14th to begin our season.

Our access will remain closed at this time and we will update this early next week as well! We have both day house and sleeper openings available immediately beginning next Tuesday.

Santa heard our Christmas wishes and ice fishing on Lake of the Woods is off to a roaring start! Our houses are currently located in 29-30′ of water and limits are coming in daily. The bite is currently a mixed bag with several Walleye and Sauger being reported daily. Our houses are reporting anywhere from 40-50 fish per day currently and are filling limits daily.

The preferred techniques right now are glow in the dark green or red jigging spoons tipped with a fat head head or a jigging rap. Jigging is highly effective 2-4″ from the bottom and the fish show a high interest in following the bait when worked. Dead sticking is finding high rates of success on smaller glow or gold jigs as well as plain hooks tipped with a live fat head. Fish finders are highly recommended.

Off of our access we are currently finding ice thickness ranging from 13-15″ in the areas where our houses are located. Our access is currently opened to ATVs,Side by Sides and Snowmobiles. We hope to be letting half tons out after the Christmas holiday barring any significant set backs with ice conditions and we get a few colder nights. For those venturing out we continue to encourage you to stick to the marked areas and always check on up to date conditions before venturing out.

We have openings in sleepers and day houses this coming weekend as well as limited availability New Years weekend. Dates for the remainder of the ice fishing season are filling fast so don’t wait,book your ice fishing adventure with Sweet’s Fishing today!

From everyone here at Sweet’s Fishing we would like to fish you a very Merry Christmas and we cant wait to see you on Lake of the Woods very soon.
