Wisconsin > Ice Fishing Wisconsin

First ice northern WI 2023

<< < (3/3)

Fished some Minocqua area lakes the 3rd, 4th, and 5th.  Had about 6” where we were, but a couple inches less by the shore, so we stayed on foot.  Had some nice sized fish, topped by a 36” inch pike and a 25” eye.  Bite windows were small, but fast when they came.  Slippery ice got better throughout the trip with snow most every day and night, totaling about 3 or 4 inches by Saturday morning the 6th.  Smaller shiners were the key for us, but we caught them at various depths.  6-12 feet on the edge of green weeds was the best area.  Hopefully the lack of snow(compared with the southern 1/3 of the state) will allow the ice to build and the ground to freeze deeper for sleds.
