Big Manistique or Brevort?

[Moldman52]

Fellow Ice Fishers, Wife and I traveled the extra distance to ice fish Big Manistique last January when it was 30+ below wind chills for a few days, 2' of snow and many inches of ice catching nada. We have fished the lake several times in open waters and it has really changed. Brevort was a great lake 10+ years ago, always caught walleye and perch. My question is: after driving 8 hours to the bridge pulling a 16' extra tall enclosed trailer with 2 tracked aatv's where would you fish for a week? Any ideas would be deeply appreciated. Thanks

Can't speak on Manistique but my cousin goes to Brevort every summer and does quite well...but that's soft water. But since you've already traveled a gazillion miles to get there, why not go a few more and hit Gogebic? Excellent Walleye fishing and true jumbo Perch. They offer a couple of guide services to put you on them too. Just a thought.

Been there, hate that loooong ride down highway 2, getting to old to drag stuff that many miles.

Gene,

We moved our annual trip back to the 3rd week of February.  Hoping the bite will be better and we can drive trucks to fishing spots on the lake.

Happy Holidays!
