Today's Fishing Report

[Bureaucrat]

Hit a couple lakes outside Brookings today. Fishing was pretty bad. Drilled 36 holes across 10 different spots over 2 lakes. Didn't mark a single fish.

On the plus side, I saw a ton of pheasants out and about today.

That just about sums up my entire season in the Brookings area. Easily the worst season I have had since moving to the area.

The pheasants did seem to make it through the winter. I have been seeing tons of them as well.

I'm heading for poinsett on Saturday think ice will be ok for vehicles or should I bring my atv? That last 6" of snow all melt?

Vehicle will be just fine.

I wasn't far from there, and I was drilling through 40+ inches of ice on both lakes.

I wasn't far from there, and I was drilling through 40+ inches of ice on both lakes. There was new snow on the lake from blowing, but that was melting quickly. I'd plan to be slopping around in water on top of the ice.

any updates on ice conditions on Poinsett after this warm weather? Not sure I want to drive my Tundra crewmax on the ice so I will just bring the quad?
