Spirit Lake Report

[Walleye #1]

I heard from my father in law the other day that Spirit has a solid 4-5 inches on it, in some parts like Hales Slough. I am originally from NW Iowa and am looking to see if anyone has been out ice fishing yet on Spirit?? Any reports out there?

Hopefully we have a good perch fishin like last Xmas. We tore em up last year.

Also, does anyone know of any good night fishing spots for some eyes on Spirit or the Bojis'? I am always a bit tenative on the Bojis because there is sometimes bad ice in a few of the areas. I have heard Stoney Point on Spirit, any thoughts out there???

Thanks

Was on Angers Bay Sat. and pretty poor fishing a couple 7 inch perch and a few small walleyes. Ice is strange we started out quite away from shore and was good 4 to 6 inches, but we went into the northeast bay and the ice was 2 to 4 inches. Becareful! I heard on the radio today a snowmobile went in on East Lake.

So what do you suppose the reason is for the slow start?? Usually first ice is pretty good on Spirit. Hopefully it picks up here.

May you drill your holes straight and your bobbers stay under

Any one out there?

I have been out on Spirit Lake the last two days. The fishing has been very slow. Anyone have any reports for Spirit? I have caught a few small walleyes and a couple of perch.

The water is very clear. I think this may play a factor in the slow fishing.

Just looking for some more reports if anyone is out there. Hopefully things pick up.

Ryan-
Is there a depth that you have been targeting more than others??

Also have waxies or minnows outproduced for you?

I will be up there also on Saturday. If you see a gray ford 150, with MN plates that is me. I grew up in this area for 21 years, before getting a teaching job in SE MN. Look for a two man blue pullover. Nevermind everyone will have those. Well hopefully we can meet, it is always fun meeting people off of this HSOforum.

Good Luck to you as well
