    Anyone ice fishing Spirit have a report they would like to share? I am thinking of heading that way next weekend and just want to know if there is any reason to give it a try. I read earlier that the perch were really going, but then you guys got all that snow and I gave up the idea of heading further north.

    omar, thanks…really appreciate hearing any report on how the fishing might be going. Hate to say this cause it sounds phony….I love ice fishing, but I have never fished Spirit. I won’t turn down any help I can get.

    Spirit is a great lake to fish and especially ice fish…. walleye season up there has closed but the perch are still thick as flies on a deer carcass. Should have no problem catching perch as they have been biting pretty much all year long with only a few slow times throughout this ice fishing season, only problem is there will be a lot of sorting to keep some nice fish. Seems most perch are in the 5″-7″ range but there are some coming out that are 10″ and a little bigger. Not many but some, if you are looking for some dinner then that should not be a problem. Good Luck and let us know how you do. One more thing if you have an underwater camera bring that… way better for spirit in my opinion for perch fishing than a flasher because it seems those perch have been sucking in the bait and blowing it right back out so fast the camera lets you see what is exactly happening and get em before they can do that! Can’t wait to get the boat up there this spring and summer!

    Just got back off Spirit,2 guys, 100+ holes= 8 keepers 6 returned. Waders would be a good idea, at least knee boots. Waters 8-10″ deep in spots.
