Anyone been out on Cedar Lake North of New Richmon

Curious on the ice thickness and if anything is going yet?

good question, its not too deep but that acreage could have delayed freezing. might need to check that one soon.

My nephew’s probably been close, but haven’t talked to him since Thanksgiving… I’ll let ya know if I get a chance to speak to him soon.

I was thinking the same thing! Im waiting on a phone call i will let u know.

Was on Bass Lake last night 4 inches of good ice

Yup, I was just out there yesterday, I went out on the south end of the lake off of County Road H. There Was about 4″ of ice everywhere. I fished from 8-17′ of water, I was out from 3-6 p.m. and caught like 7 small perch & 3 bluegills. I had tip-ups out for walleye, also was jiggin for eyes, but didn’t have any luck. There were 8 other people out on the ice, everyone had their limit of tip-ups out, but only a few of those people were jiggin for panfish. I didn’t see anyone else catch anything.

This was my first time on this lake, do people normally do fairly good fishing for walleye & panfish here? I drilled probably like 35 holes & was hopping all over, only thing that ever really showed on the Vex were bottom hugging perch. I started my presentation using a Sliver/red Slender Spoon, but never had any thing come up or hit my lure. That’s when I dropped a Fiska down & caught perch.

were you on any of the cribs?

No I was unaware that there were any? I was using both my Sportsman Connection Lake Map book & Navionics app to navigate around the lake. A friend referred the lake to me, so I decided to give it a try. PM me if you’d like to give me a few pointers about the lake & don’t want everyone else knowing. Thanks

I carried two poles with me at all times, and dropped both baits down every hole. I first dropped the slender spoon down, if nothing committed after a while then I dropped the one with the Fiska down to see if they were just perch or bluegill.

I have the same map book, it doesnt show them, and Im surprised the navionics doesnt have them either.

russell’s bait shop in town has maps that have the cribs marked on them for sale cheap. silver and green slender spoons work great there.

Is that the ticket for eyes? I have thrown a tacklebox full of lures down to catch an eye out there with nothing but a 7″ to show for it in about 7 or 8 years of trying! Had good luck one summer out there and have failed miserably since, on hard and soft water. Anybody lookin for someone to make a trip or two up there gimme a shout!

@wannabefishing I wouldn’t mind giving Cedar another try. I only have my car & one man here in RF right now, because I haven’t been back home since thanksgiving. I have everything here except my 2 man Otter tho: rods, Jigs, hand & power auger, & Snosuit.

Yea I was using walleye suckers as well. Guess I will have to give the Green/Silver slender spoon a try next time I go.

We fish the south end most of the time too. The cribs can be fun for the kids and caught muskies and pike . Allways alot of people on them.try the shore line along H

I totally agree. That would be awesome, with all of us we should be able to target some fish.

Yes. It worked out for me last year. I am talking about the cribs off the point or on the west side of the lake. Never fished the cribs much on the south side by h. The ones on the westside worked well this summer. Hopefully they will still have some this winter.

you talking about the middle of the lake on the westside?

Yea and off the point to the south of there.
