I'm hoping to make it up to fanny hoe this thursday, hopefully the ice will be alright. I plan on staying pretty close to shore.

updeerhunter, did you make it to fanny hooe thursday? if so how was the ice? we need some colder days here so us on the north end can get out already

Has anybody checked to see if there's any ice at Gratiot by chance?

I fished Lake Fanny Hooe this morning. 4 inches of ice. Caught 3 keepers and missed a couple. Unfortunately, the harbor is still wide open water.

I fished there today; 6 or 7 inches of ice, a few perch were caught but no action with splake.

Fished fanny hooe three times this week; no action with splake.

finnspoon · « **Reply #10 on:** Dec 31, 2011, 08:41 PM »

was out fanny hooe friday til about 3:30 to dark, got one splake on the ice one to the hole and missed another one, decent action for a couple hours, but i guess it may vary depending where you fish

Where is a good spot to access the lake from? I know the resort on the west end is kind of cranky sometimes.

finnspoon · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 03, 2012, 03:11 AM »

the best spot for splake is if you drive past the fort wilkins site a little ways theres a little pulloff to the right where they built a new dock. you'd probably see old holes as ur walking out from there, we've ben pretty lucky every time we went out from there

K-RONE · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 07, 2012, 09:33 AM »

Anyone been out since the heat blast? Checking to see if we still have fishable ice. I am headed out Sunday......I will be bringing the casting rods just in case!

Fished there monday, ice was plenty thick but fishing sucked. Maybe due to the warm temps. Marked a few fish on the flasher but no bites. Beautiful lake tho, my first time up there during the winter

finnspoon · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 16, 2012, 04:12 PM »

was out sunday, got 1 perch, a splake and a walleye, was pretty slow though

I've never fished for splake and a couple friends and I were planning on making a trip, do u think we will catch any? Any tips for splake

Chris Raymond · « **Reply #23 on:** Jan 19, 2012, 09:10 AM »

Give it a shot and find out.

Swedish pimple with a minnow head for your jig rod and tip-ups with small walleye suckers or medium fatheads for the set lines should get you going in the right direction.

aacosta · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 20, 2012, 12:30 PM »

thanks alot

finnspoon · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 01:40 PM »

smelt belly fat on a pimple works good too

acrawfor · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 21, 2012, 08:33 PM »

How's the fishing been up there. Thinking about heading up there tomorrow with my daughter. Taken her once so far and she loved it. Maybe not the sitting and jigging part but walking around outside and checking the tip ups for sure. Thought it might be fun to head that way for some splake and eyes if they been hitting decent. Thanks.
