So i've got everything loaded into the truck, ready to go. now im just waiting for the ice. does anyone have an idea when we'll have ice here in south central?

Kosh has had some skim the past morns, the bays with the slips will lock up and be fishable by tuesday I would say. And kegonsa, i would think a couple weeks. Check out lake-link for updates-

appreciate it. its a big lake but not deep. i just have to watch out for those springs.

wifisherman · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 06, 2009, 07:46 PM »

No problem. I think most of the springs are on the east end, where the Rock flows in. And I got a report from a buddy they had 15 flags and iced 4 northerns this weekend in the slips... ill be out there next weekend.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #4 on:** Dec 07, 2009, 07:12 PM »

Sounds great! i think i'll try sometime this week probably after the snow tuesday-wednesday. should be getting colder then. glad to hear your buddy is getting some flags. i didnt have much luck last year, but i have a good feeling this year.

so i went to gander after work today. i wanted to get some tip up signal lights. holy cow are those pricy. cost as much as the ip up itself. $10! a piece. they have the "first ice" gander mountain specials. i was playing with them in the store and the switch broke, in the store. just giving the recomendation, DONT BUY THE CHEAPIES!

went out to the west shore today. had 3 flags. lost one but had 2 decent walleyes. threw them back until i can get my limit. but i didnt figure it was too bad. ice was a little sketchy yet because im a big guy. after thursday, i dont think there will be problem.

wifisherman · « **Reply #7 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 01:33 PM »

west shore of kosh? Really? how big were they?

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #8 on:** Dec 09, 2009, 05:18 PM »

yea, out in the south flats of olsons bay. like i said sketchy ice, but not too bad. one was just over 17" and the other just under. i'll catch them again this weekend it think. maybe i'll get the pike i was going for. we'll see. keep me informed of how you do, its always nice to see kosh get some respect.

wifisherman · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 12, 2009, 09:53 PM »

Well I havent made it out there yet, but I've been hearing the flags have been flying pretty well lately. Lots of northerns.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 12:06 AM »

went out saturday evening. didnt have any flags. picked a bad spot i think. couldnt get out too far because for some reason the ice had weakend. looks warm this week. maybe winter will come into full force. where are they pounding the northerns at?

wifisherman · « **Reply #11 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 07:39 PM »

Yeah, the ice is varying out there. I think by the bays or around the slips, not totally sure. I would say shallow but the whole lake is

but maybe the deeper water by the slips..

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #12 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 10:28 PM »

what do you think the ice will be like this weekend? i know its hard to say. were going to have some warm days and some cold days. but at least at night it'll cool down a lot.

xcr440 · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 14, 2009, 10:37 PM »

I talked to 2 guys at norms. They said it was pretty much 4" of ice no matter where they went. nothing to day. A friend is over by vinne haha catching small eyes. about 3 a day.

south side has a nice open channel where the river runs. Be careful out there.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #14 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 01:28 AM »

thanks for the info. i'll try a different spot next time. thought id have good luck in olsons bay but maybe i just have to move around. well its good to hear that theres more ice out there. thanks again. maybe i'll see ya out there this weekend or next.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #17 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 04:45 AM »

we can work around everyones schedule. doesnt have to be the 2nd, maybe even the third weekend, the 16th.

MstormC · « **Reply #18 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 11:15 AM »

I say just pick a date and go from there! I usually have something going on every weekend but should be able to stop out and at least visit.

xcr440 · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 11:24 AM »

Yup, Name a date and location and I'll see what is going on.

Does anyone know when/if the Bounty hunt is this year on Koshkonong? I live in Sparta but I like to come down for that every year. I grew up on the southwest side of the lake and the bounty hunt is usually a good time.

xcr440 · « **Reply #21 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 03:52 PM »

I'm thinking it is Feb 6th.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 16, 2009, 09:55 PM »

lets go with january 16th. we can figure out where to meet and what time later on. never heard of the bounty hunt but im definitially interested. that just a fisheree?

xcr440 · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 09:03 AM »

Yes, It is based out of norms.

I was told today that guys are nailing 8-9" pannies on mendota.....

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 08:26 PM »

xcr440 · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 08:29 PM »

If that's near the sheriden.

xcr440 · « **Reply #26 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 08:31 PM »

Seen a few guys fishing by the caraijou hunt club, 1 guy by norms and 4 guys way across from norms. Kinda by vinnie. Today.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 17, 2009, 09:48 PM »

i'll be out this weekend, how about you?

xcr440 · « **Reply #28 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 09:03 AM »

no, too much crap to do to ready for christmas and then the trip north. There were about 4-5 guys by my house(lake house) yesterday. A few were there for less than 3 housrs. 1 guy stayed out all night.

WISKY FISHER · « **Reply #29 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 03:56 PM »

i like pulling those all nighters, but only if the fish are biting. i think the only chance i'll have this weekend to go out is sometime sunday. the wife made plans for me saturday without letting me know until today.cant wait to get out though.
