Fishing in the Minocqua area I am sure could be decent, but haven’t been doing much as of late… the last time I was out for ‘eyes, I spent a couple of hours on a main lake rock hump on top in 20′ of water and even though I was seeing fish, didn’t do much catchin’. It would seem the practical advice would be in deep holes along the edges for ‘eyes. Panfish should be suspending in the same types of areas, perch are using the weeds…
I know you to be river rat at times, that may be the right place. We all know spots where we get them first ice, they can’t be far from those spots right now. Most water temps are in the mid 40’s.
