I went out today, got some nice crappies, ice was plenty safe, beautiful, geese and trumpeter swans honkin’.
Part of the access was a mess, checked where it looked good and it was. 4 wheelers were out but overall the lake was pleasntly quiet. One the lake I was on, would say at least 2 more good weeks.
Me icefishing caught my first fish ever while icefishing today. It was only a snake though.

Went out yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised how the ice looked better than it did last Monday when I was out. The forecasted 70° and rain Friday will probably keep me off the ice the rest of the season so hoping to sneak out one more time this week. Bite has been great and very few people out.
went out yesterday on Petenwell in central WI, ice was good for walking, got 2 legal walleyes, 12 shorts and a catfish. All on tipups, not a bite jigging
I made it out to a couple lakes in the Backus area. It took some work to find them, but once we did they were definitely willing to eat. 8-10′ of water on the weed edges. A few went home for a swim in the grease last night, and many more went back to be caught again. The ice was in great shape still.

We were on Rainy all weekend. I’d guess after today there won’t be much snow left on the lake but it hasn’t even began to touch the ice. Couple spots I couldn’t get through without an extension and everywhere else was very close. Fishing was the best it’s been for us all year with a nice mixed bag of a little bit of everything. Deep water was the best. 40 ish feet off the edges of reefs or in deep holes between islands.
Nice catch Micheal & Hill! Good to see others are out.
My brother and I did our last wheel house overnighter. Caught some decent panfish. The ice will be good for walking for a few more days but did not like the 38 degree water temp. Won’t be long and it will start to honeycomb from the bottom.
Got out for a full day of fishing yesterday. Took a few different lakes to get on a good panfish bite. Once we found them, the bite was incredible. Ended the day with a 2 person limit of sunfish. All in the 8.5 – 9.5” range. We also got into an incredible SM bass bite on one of the lakes. Nothing really big but LOTS of fish in the 1.5 – 2.5 lb range. Lots of fun on panfish rods with 2 lb. Test line. Only broke off one fish. Ice still In great shape. With the warm temps in the forecast the landings are going to start taking a beating. Still lots of hard water fishing remaining, but the days for driving out are numbered.
