Can it be luck? ...

We are fishing most all the smaller 1st ice lakes including Stacks Bay but only in the bay - thin ice and open water going west toward the 51 bridge.

Looking out my window at Fence here we have a thin ice cover, covering the NE end here but no way will it be ready for awhile yet.

Did the "dive-by" stick on Tom, the Arb's - there is ice but no fishermen sighted. Saw some open water by Gators Landing, few more days yet.

If weather holds, by the time you get here more, I'm sure more, lakes will be ready.

Find the bite and thight-lines <'))><

The Vex's do need a good home - soon they will have one I believe.

Thank you for your post

Bill, thanks for getting back! I know a few "talkers" that would like to get flashers. I'll see if they put thier money where thier mouth is. A good deal on price, being in WI. sort of keeps a lot of prospective buyers away, atleast in a MN. web site. I sort of figured the ice conditions are limiting where a guy can fish for now. Early ice is the only time I primarily fish WI. lakes, early ice being the best. IMO. We did good on Pokegema lake last year. A friend of mine is a floor boss at Lake of the Torches casino and lives on the lake. If I work him, I'll get a free room at the casino. The area around 4 seasons and the creek on the NE side of Big Arb is a good early ice walleye spot. As well as Big Bearskin. Once the deep cold of winter sets in, fishing will slow down. Thanks again for "looking out", much appreciated! Mark

Minocqua & LDF areas the bite is where you find it. Area lakes are providing sport for those that venture out.

Most daytime folks are fishing shallow water 6' to 15' weed lines and breaks. Northern, perch, and 'eyes are providing fair action. Gill's are making it tough on we ice people but a few are showing up. Shiners appear to be bait of choice and producing well for 'eyes and northern.

Met a father, son, pair of fisherman from Janesville on Stacks Bay this morning and they had a nice collection of perch and northern - nice job guys.

Taking tomorrow off to prepare my pick'ler northern then next week off in search of perch as ice is getting thicker around the area.
