Big Round Lake Reports?

[protrapper]

Anyone know how Big Round has benn doing for panzies and walleye's? Would like to fish it soon.

[R_B]

Haven't fished it myself but my cousin said the lake was packed with people 2 weekends ago. He caught a bunch of crappies. Another buddy of mine caught an 8lb walleye last weekend. Thinking about going up there this weekend.

[Walleye Guy]

I haven't fished it since December 26th & 27th. We did very well on the walleyes those nights. Most were large fish including 2 24's, 2 25' 2 26's and one 30.5 incher that went between 10-11 lbs. All the large fish were released except the big girl. We also managed 6-7 that were eaters (15-19 inches)

All fish were caught after 10 pm (full moon period) jigging in very shallow water with no lights in the portable. If you turned on a light you wouldn't get a bite or even see fish on the Vex.

I haven't found the panfish yet this year. Iw ould love some tips...

[R_B]

I would love some tips on the walleyes if you are willing to share. I have only fished this lake once but hear great things about it. Nobody will ever share ideas about how or where to fish walleyes...understandable. I want to go up there this weekend but have no idea where to go.

We've been getting walleye's just off the reservation after dark. It's been pretty good in 6-8 FOW. Using big sucker minnows. Been catching them there since first ice. Lucky for me its only 5 minutes from my house. Been doing very well on the pans, not much after dark however. Hope this helps. Super Black

I to would like some info on this lake for panzies and eyes. I have never fished it. You dont need to tell me spots. Would just like info on the lake. If you get a chance drop me a line. [email protected]

Protrapper, I've been fishing that lake ever since I can remember. We have always had great luck through out the ice fishing season and also around opener. You'll find the pans usually in 10 to 12 fow. Walleye's are hitting sucker minnows and jigging raps after dark. Just last friday I had a mix bag of crappies and sunnies a total of 20 I kept and released that amount if not more. I then moved in towards dark and landed a 25" walleye. Not a bad day's fishing. I was out this morning and kept a dozen sunnies and was to work by nine. God I love that lake!!! SB

Need to figure out how to post pictures!!!!

Super Black -

I also love this lake but have only fished it in the spring and summer. I was plannig on going out there this weekend any helpful ideas for a guy new toi the ice-fishing on this lake? Looking for the pans, and walleyes after dark.

thanks.

There's a contest out there on Saturday, so this might not be the best weekend to try. Good luck

[Mog Dog]

Thanks for the heads up. What kind of numbers do you think will be there?

[Walleye Guy]

Spin,

What contest is out there? I have never seen an ice fishing contest out there before.

Thanks,

WG

It's only there 2nd annual so it's still new. It's not real big 5 bucks to get in, 10-3 you can get tickets at the landing. That lake is crowded any way you add a contest and it gets worse. I'm not trying to scare anyone off, cause you might be the big winner. I'll be out there, you can't catch anything laying on the couch. Well no fish anyway. Good luck

[Super Black]

It is true that the lake will be crowded this weekend. Most every weekend is out there. I usually fish it during the week and also stay away from the crowds. The pannies have actually moved into shallower water. 8-9 feet you should be able to find them. Look for pockets in the weeds and you should be able to catch them. As for the walleye's, haven't been after them for a little while on that lake. Fished Big Chetac the last few times for walleye's and have been doing good. Some days are great. Fished it last tuesday and we both came home with fish to eat plus a bonus 12.6# northern. Big Round should pick up in a few weeks for the big sunnies. SB

I heard this lake really picks up in febuary. Did good out there in the end of Jan. but feb. has been very poor. Hope the fishing pick up otherwisw I might go hungry.

[SPIN DRY]

I'm just going to throw this out here. When I was on Round this past weekend I noticed that the creek just to the north of the boat landing is starting to open up. So be careful where you are driving at, I have already heard of two trucks going threw one on Balsam and one on Cedar . Good luck

[R_B]

Do you know where the person went through on Cedar?

[SPIN DRY]

I'm not sure where. I wouldn't be suprised if it was by the aretor.The one on Balsam was in the narrows. Good luck be careful.

[swalleyi]

He was over by the inlet,he said it was really snowing hard wasn't sure where he was. I am surprised more people don't go in there.

[voigty23]

I went out there with a buddy twards the end of feb. Back to back days we caught at least 50 crappies a night. We through many back but kept a few. I'm not too familiar with the lake but we were pretty much in the middle in about 12 feet of water just jiggin crappie minnows!
