Yes. Both ice and fishing is good.
Headed up that way Tuesday March 3rd thru the 9th. Any idea how the ice will be? Trucks or 4 wheelers? Been kind of quiet on here about the lakes up there.
Do you have family in the Okoboji area? Otherwise, why would you choose to fish there for 7 straight days?
I did real good on blugills on East yesterday. There was about 400-1000 other guys. I don't know how many 8"+ blugills I saw, had to be 500. Also largemouth bass, tons of them. Clouds of baby perch, one 7" perch, 1 8" crappie. Kept a limit of blugills, all over 8 maybe6 over 9. If you had the patience you could get a limit all over 9. I bet I saw a dozen blugills in the wow category, they looked really nice. Haven't seen any like that in years. That was great to see. Water clarity was good.
I think post like this would be why they fish for a week straight.
I fished there 41 days this year. I didn't think anyone wanted to hear about the days I didn't catch jack squat so I didn't post those days.
