Went out on lake 1 this evening from about 5-7pm, still have 26" of ice, just a little slop on top not bad at all. Caught (& released) a couple dozen crappies, a few went 10-11", otherwise most were about 8". I've been getting the bigger ones lately on fatheads, even the smaller ones have been hitting the bigger minnows. I was the only one out there, nice to fish when it's so quiet...

Went out last sunday with my son, caught a few northerns, bass and had about a 35"-40" musky about 15' from the boat until the SOB spit the hook. My son had on a #5 mepps spinner, it was just to small for that big musky mouth. It was cold and windy so we pretty much hugged the less windy sides of the lake. Were going back out this Sunday.

I got up at 4:30 this morning and went out. I could see what must have been walleyes on the flasher but couldn't get a bite from them. I casted some into the weeds as well but bass and pike were all that hit there.
I did get into a mess of crappies that were biting all morning until I left at around 11PM. I caught a lot of very nice largemouth bass mixed in with them and of course threw them back. I did get one nice pike as well. The crappies made it all worthwhile.

Thanks for the reports guys, I was thinking of hitting it this weekend afterI get the "STEALTH" pontoon in the water. Right now I would think there would be some shallow aggressive fish that could be caught. I have always had better luck fishing the afternoon and evening vs. the early a.m. bite. Good luck out there! Chris, the lake is divided into three basins. Lake one is the westernmost and right in town, as you head to the east you will go through the narrows to second lake and continue further east you'll see 2 points jutting out that form the entrance to third lake. All technically Forest Lake. Tunrevir~

Tunrevir, let me know if you need help with the pontoon. My "new ring" events are mostly behind me now!
