Loomis Lake

[high_flags]

I fished loomis on Saturday the 22nd, got 19 gills in the bay by the park. 5 ft of water. got 3 flags  on  the tip-ups caught 2 small pike. The main lake ice was not safe.

How much ice in the bay? Think there is any left? I'm assuming not, cause you made your post today LOL

I have not been back since that day. But the gills always stay in the bay for a while during early ice.

I drove thru there tonight at about dark and there were two people with laterns let up in the bay by the boat launch.  I also drove around back and there were about 6 parties of people on the bay where they used to rent boats.  I here the crappie are decent back there and this has historically been a good crappie region.  There were also 5 guys on long at dark right in front of the boat launch.

I meant ice, not fish. I didnt think you caught them all. Thanks for reply. I would think there cant be good ice but i guess ill have to get off my butt and go check it out. Be safe everyone!!!

Hey Doc, good to see you're still around. I've been fishing Loomis for a week now, catching alot of small crappies at night in "THE SPOT" nothing worth writing about though. Hope things change. C-ya. Crappie Rob.

FOOTDOC!  Was hoping you didn't forsake us for better waters.

I would never leave ice shanty but my office is out of control this time of year.  Most patients have their deductibles met and want last minute surgical procedures done so ice fishing time is limited.  My son has been out here a great deal in Shorewood and doing well for gills, bass and crappies.  I hit lake michigan yesterday for perch and got two limits with a friend.  After the 1st of the year, I will be drilling and hunting with everyone else I hope.  Happy New Year and keep the reports coming.
