Happy New Year’s everyone!
Just a quick report of what we have seen on the lake this past week.
Most resorts have roads to every structure right now. Just like last year….I think you could enter the lake on the east side…drive over to garrison and never leave a plowed road. With only a few inches of snow on the lake, we have seen alot of off road vehicle travel as well. There are still active cracks out there…so use caution if off roading.
Fishing Report:
The good news this week is we saw alot more perch caught each trip. Some really nice jumbos…and spitting up alot of bugs. We saw some decent sized christmas trees on our Marcums this week. Crappie minnow heads and Eurolarva worked the best with the perch.
We also found a decent amount of walleyes in the mornings and late afternoons. It seemed that the walleyes were on top/top edge in low light conditions…then just like last week, the fish would slide off the structure by mid-morning. Moving your holes to the bottom edge and even 10-20 yards off the structure will help put some fish on the ice. Perch, walleyes and Tullies are still hanging in the deep water.
Gold seemed to be the most consistent color this past week.
This is the time of year to try and move away from the crowds. Competing for the same aggressive fish with alot of other fisherman only makes it tougher.
I hope this helps! Good Luck this weekend…until next week…we hope to see you on the ice!
