Gaudetskie, I'm surprised that you don't have any safe ice on the bays of Wissota. We got plenty up here in Chetek.

I am headed out in 30 minutes to find ice! Should not be a problem with 2 cold nights.Shallow backwaters that freeze first = nice gills!!! Later,Paul

Probably do. My early season spot has always been a spot off the Chippewa River. 3 solid inches today. Only took me 3hr to catch my limit of bluegills.

Nice mess of fish Nick!!!!! How much ice?? Was out to the lake by the house this morning only 1/4" of ice by landing and a lot of open water. Gonna be a while here yet!

Did you have the radio today for the Badger/Northwestern slaughter!!! Fin

Walked out onto Tainter Lake today. Maybe 2.5" of ice. I plan on going out tomorrow (with a rope tied to the dock!) Not planning on much because I only have crawlers to fish with.

Hello W.I.
there is a decent chance i could be moving to W.I. And was wondering how the fishing is around the madison area, I see there are a dozen or so small ponds in the area, as to what one might catch in them?

perch, crappie?? How is the fishing around the state, on the big lake? Interested to see what you guys have out there.

Headed out tomorrow. One of the lakes near by had Ice Boats on it today. Not one that I usually fish because it's a late afternoon bite. Right about cocktail time. I'm gonna be on it anyway, but will be home for cocktails. Gotta set your priorities...

Sven936 · « **Reply #44 on:** Nov 28, 2010, 06:59 PM »

Won't be out till tuesday, hope the rain tomorrow doesn't spoil the ice to much.......

Here's a few more pics from today.

About 15 decent keepers.

My buddy "Young Andrew" was a little hung over still. (at 2:00) Well, you know how kids are.

Was out on Pigeon lake in Bayfield county Saturday. Non stop action all day. The ice was 1.5" - 2.5" with some bad spots wherever there was a lot of snow cover.

There is a very big chain of lakes in downtown Madison that I hear are quite popular, especially Monona Bay which I think is on Lake Monona, but I'm not sure... Either way you will have plenty of water to fish.

And my weekend report- Saturday I fished a bay on the Chetek Chain and I caught nothing, and the people fishing near me only got 1 bluegill. On Sunday I tried a channel area connecting 2 lakes with about 10 other people in the area. I saw 2 pike get caught and about 7 more flags, but they missed those because the people were sitting in the bar that was right next to the lake. I'm for one glad that we are getting this rain because a lot of the ice here is every shade of grey and not black. It will kill that layer and replace it with the good black ice.

Fished a lake near Wautoma for a couple of hours today. three inches of ice.

littlesturgeonguy · « **Reply #54 on:** Nov 30, 2010, 06:05 AM »

With temps falling tonight and weather underground says the temps are to stay below freezing through Monday hopefully the bay will lock in.

The ice we had on my home lake is now gone thanks to last nights rain/wind.

even with the wind and rain, when it gets cold, and it will, there will be good ice...only a couple of days to make it happen.

Saw a goof out on Big Muskego ice fishing. Just crazy and pushing his luck Rich

Yahhh! It's December boys, and that finally means it's ice fishin time. With a high under 20 degrees for the forseeable future, we will have good ice in less that 2 weeks. Tight lines boys!!
