Hey ed what does the fishing forecast look like for Volga this winter?  Have the crappies finally grown up to decent keeper size?or still small?  :)

The lake needs a major predator like Musky, Northern Pike or a major ice fishing tournament where you weigh everything and up the limit to 50 or 100. High population and low predation has stunted the fish.
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the ice looking like an idiot.

On Sunday the 18th there was about 10-12 inches.  I ran my four wheeler around in search of fish.  Can't give you a more recent report.
take care,
Dave  :>)

Fished Friday and Saturday.  Friday I had my limit of crappies and a 9.5" perch in two hours.  Saturday was SLOWER.  4 of us fished for 3 hours and kept 21 crappies and a gill.  Most the gills are 7-9", but they need to be kept.  Friday my limit of crappies and the perch filled a quart sized freezer bag so no complaints here!

I'm here now. A few smaller bluegills and some perch.  No crappies yet. Kinda disappointed
If I could make a living out of ice fishing. I'd do whatever I had to make my dream come true.

Where are you fishing? Head to the handicapped dock brush all around there. I was just there yesterday and limited out.
