Yellow Lake

[mitch]

I'm heading up to my uncle's cabin on Yellow Lake this weekend to do some ice fishing. Has anyone been out there lately? Are there any areas we should try for perch and panfish? How is the ice holding up with the warm weather? I'll report back when we get home. Thanks for any help.

I got back a couple days ago. We had a ok luck. The trip started out bad. We dulled our blades on our auger and bent the shaft in the first hole we drilled. Luckily we had a backup. The ice was about 30 in. and it gave the auger all it could handle. We fished on the east side in 4-8 fow with weeds and caught quite a few gills. Some were pretty big. We caught all our fish on waxies.

I will be hitting Yellow for the Wi opener ,,its a 20+ year tradition ,,this year I plan to keep some of the bigger pike since I have beeen tutored on how to extract the Y bones ,,last year I boated 56 pike 11 eyes 2 muskys and 1 14 in crappie on the opener ,,I hope to equal that this year as I will be better prepared

Any size to those Yellow Lake muskies you caught? I've been trying for them out there but found its a tough nut to crack.

Biggest was 49 inches ,,but that was when I was fishing for them ...the rest I have landed while fishing for eyes any where from 4 lbs to 18lbs ,,,those smaller ones sure have distinct markings when they are young

Sounds like you need to get Bd110 down there and get him pickling. Mmmmm pickled Musky and pike.

[LoonASea]

That is the idea Northlander,,,,the limit is 5 daily and 10 in possesion ,,,I can keep BD110 busy filling jars of pickled fish ,,,I may have to get a new shallow shad rap in firetiger as last years is pretty well scared up
