Made it out to Ham Lake in Anoka county tuesday afternoon for a few hours of fishing. Brought my neighbors son out so he could try out some new fish tackle he got for Xmas. Was hoping to get into some crappies and maybe a northern but all we found where sunnies. At least there where lots of sunnies. Size was typical for Ham Lake. Small.
Euro larve, light lies and spring bobbers was the trick for catching these sunnies. They where real light bitters but still no match for the spring bobber.
Ice conditions where all right for walking and maybe 4 wheelers. We found 5 to 8″ where we fished.
Ham Lake seems to be a good place to take the kids fishing. Plenty of small pan fish to keep them entertained. Might get back there over the weekend and look for crappies again.
