Thanks for that comment, it helps a lot. So I guess everyone else we talked to that weren't catching is in the same boat.

it usually does at this lake when u dont know what u are doing

If you know this guy you know he breaks the mold as far as being amongst the fishless masses.

I've spent quite a bit of time on brushy. I think the key is moving, moving, moving!! find which trees they are in.. spend 5 minutes in each hole.. if you dont catch something move another 10 yards to a different group of trees. might take take 20 holes but you'll find em. the other year i was 5-10 yards away from 6 in our group who weren't catching anything and easily caught my limit in 20 minutes... in this lake it seems the fish are lazy,

don't let them find you.. find them.

We had good fishing last Saturday...perch and gils. Going to hit it again this weekend. We fished away from the mob at the north end, and saw only four people all day.

Any guys driving trucks today on brushy?

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #38 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 07:53 AM »

Who's fishing the tourney Saturday?

grizzwald660 · « **Reply #39 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 09:38 AM »

open water on the southeast side. they were driving on the north end thurs. afternoon. but only a couple out there and no one on the south end. they probably didn't want to deal with the wind. be careful if you wander around in the dark.

Thanks!

We are. Ice is 12in on north end Monday.

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #42 on:** Feb 01, 2013, 02:25 PM »

We had 14" Saturday north of the beach. Weather app showed very little snow up there with this last snow. Any snow on the ice, or is it still glare ice?

I think there is probably a light covering of maybe an inch, unless the wind blew it off. Thinking of fishing the area north of beach, I sent you a PM

You guys have good luck up north ? I had a great weekend in central Iowa was fishing on 7" ice and catching a ton of nice gills a few crappies and few bass 3-5# and on Sunday found a spot on lake and we caught our limit of channel cat 3-6# when through a tub of waxes myself that's a record for me but we put in 2 days and over 12 hr days about killed my thumb and vexilars Had a great weekend

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #45 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 01:32 PM »

We had bad fishing Saturday. 14-15", mainly glare ice with a little skiff of snow here and there. Caught a few decent perch. We were three hundred yds north of the west boat ramp. Couldn't get into any eyes.

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #46 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 01:35 PM »

Got a buddy fishing a new spot today, and he's into 10-11" crappie. He was in crappie city for a while, he said they have slowed down, and he's on the move again.

Bruiser · « **Reply #47 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 01:44 PM »

If coming from Des Moines, where is a good spot to park and unload the gear? Never fished it, and just looking to get onto some safe ice to fish. Thinking about hitting it up this Saturday. What's the most popular boat ramp to use? Any helpful advice on that subject would be great. If you want, you can just send a PM. Thank you.

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #48 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 01:49 PM »

We park on the ice at the west or north boat ramp. Haven't ice fished the other ramps this year.

Bruiser · « **Reply #49 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 02:17 PM »

The ice is that thick up there to park on the ice? Hot damn! Good to know! You heading up there on Saturday ASATmiller? I think you and I have met before, a couple years ago on Roberts Creek. My buddy and I were in his Eskimo Pop up, the same one you have now, and you were showing us the idea of the paint pan on the heater. If that wasn't you, then I apologize, but thought for sure, after seeing that picture of the pan on the heater, that's you.

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #50 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 02:22 PM »

Yea, that was me! My weekend plans are up in the air, but if I'm not going to be in Missouri for the weekend, I'll be at brushy.

walleyewarrior50595 · « **Reply #51 on:** Feb 05, 2013, 10:29 AM »

Geez this place is being made into the holy grail. Must not be keeper crappie anywhere else in the state by the sounds of things..

thermal · « **Reply #52 on:** Feb 05, 2013, 03:33 PM »

Fished south end today kinda slow but it was another day on ice!!!!!!

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #53 on:** Feb 07, 2013, 07:31 AM »

There was a bunch of us driving on the ice yesterday. We were 250 yds sw of north boat ramp.

toofuss · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 10, 2013, 08:43 AM »

I'm going back Tuesday. Did ok last Thursday and a kind gentleman made a good day better when he gave us some more fish to take home. Had one limit between two of us and after his gift ended up just shy of maxed out for both of us. Might start out where we left off sw of north ramp and keep working south. If anybody has any better advice I'm all ears.

My frist try on brushy didn't go so well. Fished down round the island. Lots of water on the ice. Looked like transducer was going down the toilet with all the water running back into the hole. 2 11in crappies was all I caught. They were in 30 fow,1 on waxie,1 on jiggin rap. Still lots of ice, 12 to 14 in. Wish I had more info. Brushy 1, rusty 0 .

toofuss · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 10, 2013, 08:43 PM »

Kid if you wanna meet up with us will be up there Tuesday morning. By the way does anyone know of a place close by to get minnows? Or would I just be better off getting them here in des moines beforehand.

ASATMillerbluegill · « **Reply #57 on:** Feb 10, 2013, 09:01 PM »

Duncombe gas and grocery bait shop is 3 or so miles straight north of the north boat ramp on north side of 20. Open at 6 am if there hrs are the same. They have a website. Get a bait card from them for free.

grizzwald660 · « **Reply #58 on:** Feb 10, 2013, 09:03 PM »

open at 5 during the week. i think thats what the site says,
