WEEKLY NEWSLETTER
My boat is for sale. Check it out here. Hi all. I am back to writing the newsletter and I will be sending them out weekly again as now we are back to the world of fishing. It has been a long stretch without fishing, but deer season and holidays - mixed in with a busy 4-year-old - and wow it seems like I haven't been watching those poles bend for decades. I hope everyone is ready for the holiday season, as it sure seems impossible that Christmas is just two weeks out. With Santa on his way, I better get to the report, so.... Another week into the Winter months and another week of warm weather has slowed the opportunities for many ice anglers. There are still some opportunities out there, but extreme caution is advised until we get some colder weather. Winnie, Red Lake, and Lake of the Woods have fishable ice. As for Winnie, we found some of the best ice fishing that I have ever seen out there last weekend. Ice conditions ranged from 8-11 inches, with most of the lake covered with 9 inches. With the recent warm up and rain, we have not lost much for ice, but this type of weather can change the ice conditions quickly. Again if your headed to Winnie please use caution. Most of the areas that we fished were holding good numbers of both perch and walleyes. The smallest humps of the mid-lake were the areas that we fished. The depths ranged from 20-28 feet. Tony Kellin from Lindy Tackle Company was along and it was great to see that the Lindy Frostee jigging spoons were the bait of choice. We tipped the Frostees with a minnow head and the fish were exploding on the baits. Red Lake is producing good numbers of fish with ice condition still fishable. Lake of the Woods is proving to be the typical hot spot for early season walleyes. For all of the lakes, ATV and snowmobile traffic is the standard for travel. So as we head towards the holidays, keep in mind that those ice conditions can change quickly and with the recent warm stretch, ice condition are fishable but EXTREME CAUTION is advised.
