    This is one lake I definately wanna fish this winter! My buddy lives on the north side of the lake and invited me to come down when the shack is out. I haven’t heard from him so I’m assuming some spots are still a little iffy. Ill also have a report on this lake soon. Any suggestions on lures or bait on this lake? Ill be goin for eyes and pike.

    Ive always found the walleyes to be really picky on this lake, which is odd because they will crack anything that moves during softwater. Best thing Ive found is a glow jig and minnow under a bobber. Sometimes the simplistic approach is the best. Gonna go test some ice there on Tuesday instead.

    UPDATE- Got out last night. Put 2 in the box and lost a few others. Pretty light bite, they wouldnt take big baits, really had to downsize. All fish were marked between 14-20 fow.

    I imagine you could get catfish there too, you’d just have to learn to work those blade baits just right!!
