Mosquito Saturday 1-6-18

Son, Nathan & I hit the NW corner of Mosquito today. Fished 8am-4pm. Fished 7-8ft of water.  Marked very few fish and hardly saw'em on my Aqua Vu Micro. Must've been 75 shanties out there. No walleyes of us. Only caught 3 Crappies: 1-11", 1-12" & 1-14". The crappie hit on natural colors: Tiger Vibe, Swedish Pimple and Lil Cleo...   Very tough pull bc of the snow, single digit temps and high winds.  Beautiful fishery though. Still haven't iced my 1st walleye. It's on my bucket list. Will go back and try a 3rd time next Saturday 1/13/18.  Heard a guy caught a 5lb eye near us. Wonderful time ice fishing with my son making memorie

Nice crappies! I'm heading there tomorrow morning for first time. Cemetery and North of causeway have only produced dinks for me. Hoping the drag isn't bad but I'm thinking it will be after this snow and warm temps

I fished by cemetery and caught lots of dinks, off work Thursday so thinking about going again

BudIce... let us know how you do. I fished N of the causeway with about 50 other shanties on Saturday. Caught 2 small eyes and lost two at the hole. Bite shut off around 10:30 am. Drag was terrible. Like icebucket, didn't mark many fish but it was a brutal day... and still great to be out with good friends.

A winter storm is predicted for this Friday, Jan 12,. with quite a bit of snow a'comin.  My desire & plans to hit Skeeter again on Saturday Jan 13th may be halted . We'll see.

At buoy line now started fishing around noon. Drag out was super easy I was surprised. 3 decent gills 1 dink perch 1 dink crappie 1 25" pike. Marking in spurts lite bite w the panfish. Hoping not too much snow on Saturday, this ice is nice and the walk is easy
