    Looking forward to the upcoming season with a vengence. I believe the hardwater bite this year is going to be excellent, I can’t wait til early inland ice. Thier are some killer lakes for gills, pike, and even some trout here in Beautiful Bayfield county.

    Out the dooor for a bit this afternoon went down to the near by marina to find it locked it nice with a 1/2″ of ice very nice to see. If we get a few colder nights of ice making Im going to pull the Troller and spud bar out and give a few perch and smallies inside the marina a bad day. The rest of the bay is wide open yet. A good portion of the inland lakes are capt over and looking good I will soon be on them in the next couple weeks stay tune.

    Off the Ashland side of the bay today found it iced out a 100 yards from shore from the west side of the power plant all the way to the head of the bay Fish Creek area. Calm cool 35 keep the wind and temps down and we are looking good. For some of you visiting the bay there are some great spots one can get out to easy and be on fish. The first would be right on the Ashland side of the bay again out from the old soo line ore dock from the kreher park boat launch. Spots to try are out near the channel near the red and green marker cans working your way to the west from there tords the power company and no further than the end of the coal dock. Smallies are the main action however you never know what you can land into from coho’s splake, walleyes, perch & a few pike near shore off the slab piles.
    From there heading for Washburn west on Hwy 2 to hwy 13 north from there head 3.6 miles up and on the right hand side there is Bono Creek boat launch. This is another great early ice spot that has good parking. Fishing here is one of my go to’s for early ice chaseing browns, splake, and whitefish, You can work the shore line both ways left or right fishing 20ftow and under. Keep in tune for more reports and tips.
