Re: Grantsburg- Minong-Siren-Spooner-Webster Fishing Reports

[prophet]

i'm going to try the clam flowage friday for panfish

then hit the yellow lake tourney on sat,have had good luck there last winter but havnt been there yet this yr,

[Buckslayer]

Anyone know how much snow fell up in the Spooner area yesterday and last night. Just wondering if they will finally be grooming the snowmobile trails.

[larryz]

We didn't get much snow at all. I don't think we could have gotten more than 3 inches. We went over to Little Falls Mn yesterday. From Hinckley west there is a lot of snow on the ground. We have so little snow that I plowed snow in a pile to help insulate my well before the cold came.

Good luck in finding snow!

[mudman]

Well haven't been up since the the 7th & 8th of Jan.

Whats new? How yellow doing?

how about the clam or Big Mac?

any info would be great, just looking for some moral boosting to get me back up there.

thanks

[prophet]

type of update in the area,yellow,clam flowage,or lone star

[Sinker]

This report is obviously too late for your weekend plans but I have been doing ok on Yellow lake for perch and last month was pretty decent for walleye from 15" to 17".Slowed down considerably lately.Usually did best on fatheads on a green ice jig under a slip bobber.A few on small swedish pimples with waxies or minnow heads.24'-27'deep.Good luck.

[mudman]

any new reports? thinking of heading up there this weekend

[steve schmidt]

Sounds like Clam is starting to produce as it usually does from now till you can walk on anymore. But, like usual, they bite like crazy then its over for most of the day. You never know for sure what time of the day they will turn on. Were driving on as of Thursday morning. I expect that will be goon yet till maybe next weekend. For me, after this weekend it is time for the 4 wheeler. My stepbrother dropped his truck in about 4 years ago on the south landing...totalled it...so I am pretty cautious about ice this time of year. No news about the Yellow Lakes or any others.

[prophet]

hey mud,make it up??saw the forecast for this weekend and

i'm thinking about running for a possible last blast

claim lake,flowage,yellow areas,any updates in the neighborhood

[mudman]

Yeah I fished devils and clam this weekend

Clam was ok, in 6 hrs I caught 1/2 doz sunnies doz or so crappies

devils was lame!!!!! Fished from 3' out to 15' looking for the greenest thickest weeds and mostly sight fishing, for 4 hours I didn't see a single fish!

[mudman]

Going up this weekend to put the dock in

any reports would be great!

[prophet]

hey mud,yellow is finally ice free,heard a good report of big crappies by jeffries landing area mid week,just thought i'd pass it along,thinking end of the month before i head up again but may go out locally

[Pig_sticka]

no more crappies in jeffries they were only up there a day or 2.

most area lakes are real slow right now.

[mudman]

Pig stica is right!!

this weekend was TOUGH!!

fished the clam, yellow, devils, johnson, minerva, and crooked.. very slow

Water temp on yellow in the lagoon by jefferies was 53

main lake was 47

devils was 52 - 48

johnson was at 56 in the backwaters

and clam was 51-53

Tried shallow deep and everywhere inbetween

I did manage 10 nice crappies on yellow... they were in 20' suspended 5 down nice fish too... 11" was the norm

caught a bunch of snakes and some small gills on minerva and bass and snakes on johnson.

clam,devils and crooked were a bust.

[mudman]

anything new?

going back up again... should be ready by now I am hoping..Taking the sticks over to siren glen golf course too. has anyone been there lately?

thanks

[Pig_sticka]

Heard things are still slow, the early season spots are done hittin and it may take another week or 2 for the spawning areas to start.

I did see alot of sunnies being caught though in shallow on the area lakes, this year I have caught more sunnies this time of year than I ever have in shallow.

[fisher98]

Anyone know the water temp on Yellow & Little Yellow LAkes???? Is anyone catching anything?? How about the river inlets??

fisher1998

[mudman]

very cold this weekend, water temps dropped almost 2 degrees from last weekend

slow bite as well

[crappieflop1212]

Any updates on the water temps?

[anchor man]

Crappieflop,

Yellow was 50-51 by Saturday evening.

[mudman]

I had 55 on the sand bread along the north shore, 58 back in the lagoon.

fished from 3-8 2 northerns thats it!

[crappieflop1212]

Thanks fellas.

[LuckBites]

I fished Yellow from 5-7:30 AM and had water temps from 51 by Jeffries to 56 on the windy side. I trolled raps from 4-7 feet and only caught 2 northerns and 1 short eye. By the time I left the lake there must have been 100+ boats out the there! I did see a few legal eyes caught but mostly just short ones and northerns.

What worked for those who caught molutiple eyes?

[mudman]

LUCK BITES

I have a question for you about the point, just south of ikes

How's the muskie fishing been for the area? I'll be up there the weekend of the 12th, 13th and 14th and was hoping to hit some of the lakes. Any feed back would be great , you don't need to tell me your sweets spots, just the lakes in the area that are showing fish. thanks guys!
