I’ve been out there several times (on the MN side) It’s nothing like it was last year, we have only caught 2 or 3 over 15″. Most of the time you’re watching fish follow your jig around on the Marcum, you will catch some 8 – 10″ sauger. Pretty slow. There is fairly good Ice 8 – 12″, but watch out for the points, there will be less ice there!
I have been out there a few times now and have not lit up up by any means. The fish I have caught have run very small and have been light biters. Alot of people have been out but I have not heard a good report yet.
Four of us made it out there Thursday (Mn Side)for the last couple hours of the evening. We had 1-16 inch sauger between the four of us. Marked a few fish but by no means did we light the ice on fire…..most we talked to had the same report. Ice was I’d say 8-10 inches were we were. Whatsa
