Any thoughts on when the bay will freeze up this year?? Last year I beleive it was around the last weekend of January, which is about standard.

With these temps we have been having it will be soon. There's been skim ice and blow ice in areas lately so I would put money on it freezing within a week or two.

This is good news.

Some friends and I will be up there Superbowl weekend. We usually fish all day for Splake and Whities and then fish a few hours after dark for Burbot.

i cant wait. hopefully be up there monday

Icefisher40 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 25, 2013, 07:26 AM »

Are there a lot of burbot in the bay?

squidly454 · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 25, 2013, 08:05 AM »

Oh yeah, They really bite after dark. We use the Glo Perch Buckshot Rattle Spoons with a minnow on it. Just charge it up with a flashlight and then just jig it off the bottom. They don't strike like a normal fish. There strike more closely resembles how a carp sucks in a hook.

is there any big whitefish out in this bay? haha we went up there yesterday and caught a ton of whitefish but the biggest one was 14 inches. ive caught bigger smelt than most of the whities we were catching. we also caught three splake one keeper about 17". had a lot of fun nevertheless.

Icefisher40 · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 28, 2013, 07:14 PM »

Can somebody help me out with just some info for the bay on whitefish or splake?
Made the hour trip the other day and got skunked.

fisheyefool · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 28, 2013, 07:27 PM »

what were you using?

Icefisher40 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 28, 2013, 07:47 PM »

A sweedish pimple with a wax worm. In not even sure I marked any?

I did mark some schools of stuff come in about 20ft off bottom. Not sure what they were

fisheyefool · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 28, 2013, 07:49 PM »

well i think most people prolly fish eggs on bottom for the whities. the splake should have been very aggressive. did you fish off the anna or out by sunset motel? i caught all my whitefish yesterday jigging with a tiny tungsten jig tipped with a piece of waxworm. watched hundreds of them on the camera. marked em all day rolling around on bottom with the vexilar too.

Most people fish whitefish, menominee, and herring this time of the year at the anna, with some splake being caught too. You usually don't catch coho in the bay until spring.

Anyone having any luck? Past few days haven't been too productive for me but still icing some whitefish in the 10-14 inch range. Should be getting keepers in the next few days with a change in the weather.

lasalleman · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 03, 2013, 04:26 PM »

Fished friday afternoon probably caught around 30 between the two of us. Kept 23

fisheyefool · « **Reply #26 on:** Feb 03, 2013, 06:34 PM »

SuperYooper · « **Reply #27 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 03:54 PM »

We fished on Sunday and got a few whities and menominees

lasalleman · « **Reply #28 on:** Feb 04, 2013, 08:01 PM »

Fisheyefool-- The ones we kept were around 12 with the biggest about 15 inches or so. Lots of smaller ones
