any ice reports on hanska looking to get out tuesday morning any input on the lake would be very appreciated too thanks

had 2 friends off the main landing wendsday night and they said they had 7.5 in all the way out to where they were. once again this is second hand so be sure to check it yourself

thanks im gonna make it out tomorrow morning probably gieger landing ill post any results when i get back

This would be true if and only if they didn't make it past the heaved up ice that goes ~100 yds off shore, and if the ice melted 1.5" by Saturday. When I checked it, with a tape measure, it was 6" at the most and that was piled up rough ice ie. not very strong. After that there was 3" on the south side. Godhal landing had 2.5-3" as well and also some open water. Didn't go to Geiger as I don't fish that area often, but I have heard reports of better ice that way.

that is the exact reason i said it was second hand info and to be sure to check the conditions yourself

Yeah, but- are the fish biting?

I would have to go with a big ol NO on that one.

Heard of some crappies being caught but walleyes are hard to come by, maybe all the pressure in the fall from shore finally caught up with the lake...

Ya I fished Hanska and the rivers around the area hard this fall few walleyes to be found I hope this pattern doesnt carry over into winter

i made it out to geiger this morning there was about 4in where i was fishing still an open spot right by th landing only out about an hour didnt see anything on the vexilar...like riverrat said i think all that pressure from the last fall and winter caught up with her

Fish the deep water adjacent from shallow using tip up during the day but set you house in the shallow water for the night bite. I did this Tues at gieger landing from 11am to 3 and ended up with 3 eyes and a handful of crappies. I probably had 20 to 30 flags go up, I lost count. Then all the foot traffic set it at around 3 and shut it down. Don't be afraid to set that tip up 25-30 yds away during the day. U would be surprized. If you mean pressure by everyone fishing in the same area all winter long then I would have to agree with that. Anything beyond that I would have to disagree.

thanks for the tip delta i was out there tues too only ended up with one nice crappie.....think i might of seen you out there actually

I hit Hanska tonight, went to an out of the way spot and more or less just got cold...I did catch two small walleyes as well as marked a bunch of fish and missed a few bites that I am positive were eye. Back at it in the morning...
