I called out there and was told the ice is close to 12 in. I forgot to ask exactly where, but that is real good news.

Rags777 · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 14, 2016, 07:49 PM »

Ya because I'm tierd if catching pike!! Not to mention the drive!

coyotetrapper1 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 07:51 PM »

I was out there today about 3PM. Like a dozen houses and 50? guys scattered all over the lake. I talked to one group, they had no luck. The Dry Dock Bait shop on the north side is open but you might call first as I do not know the hours she is open. She had shiners and fat head minnows and wax worms. Phone # is 308-783-2782

I was out at Scouts this am and nothing had a bite it nothing....

eepks · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:16 PM »

I was out near the dam. about 20 fow. Only fished about 2 hours. No bites and Didn't mark anything. Bit tomorrow is a new day

Rags777 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:40 PM »

Talked to multiple groups today and the word is the same, no bites, no fish, and no way to start the beginning of the minitare season. Got a couple of guys that have accumulated quite the way point library over the years and did just as good as everyone else. Drilled 50+ holes with nothing. might try it sunday! Fishing report is better for tomorrow, and think weird weather this morning might have been enough to turn them off. If anyone heads out tomorrow please post somthing upon return!

dlbaily · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 09:44 PM »

Was east of the lite house from 7 until 2. One perch. Guy next to us had a couple big perch and a walleye. Said he caught them between 2 and 3 in the morning. After 3 am no bites. 28 feet of water.

7lazy77 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 15, 2016, 10:22 PM »

Fished from 9-3. Caught 1 perch & 1 smallmouth on North side. A lot of people out, but pretty slow from all the people I talked to.

Fred Z · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 17, 2016, 11:51 AM »

Nice! Bet that was fun seeing it come up through the hole.

pkandrew · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 19, 2016, 06:01 PM »

I have never been on the lake if anyone would be willing to give me an idea on where to fish there i would greatly appreciate it

Rags777 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 23, 2016, 09:17 PM »

Back to the good old mud hole it's always been, bite is non exsitant!

icebelttraveler · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 10:27 AM »

Fished it this weekend and was very slow... A couple small eyes and few perch. Definitely slower this year vs. last.

Rags777 · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 25, 2016, 06:23 PM »

fished it Saturday from 1-5:30 marked a lot of fish but couldn't get anything to commit. Judging by the guys off to the north of us I would say we were off the honey hole by about 30yds

eepks · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 31, 2016, 07:48 PM »

Does anyone have an ice report?

Rags777 · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 03, 2016, 02:25 PM »

Has anyone been out this week? fishing picking up? ice? thinking about heading out Friday night after work.

Eyeslurkin · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 12, 2016, 09:08 PM »

First post on the site but I'm always lurkin around. Been fishing minatare (about 5 times)in the last two week. Little to no success was wondering if anyone else has been around.

Rags777 · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 12, 2016, 09:19 PM »

It's like the dead sea, and was this past summer as well. I personally do not think lake will be worth a chit until summer 2017 based on recent sein reports.

Eyeslurkin · « **Reply #29 on:** Feb 12, 2016, 09:29 PM »

Lots of lookers down there but nothing that will commit. Would hate to put the ice gear away for the year but haven't heard any good reports anywhere.
