    Any word on ice conditions on North Lake? Thinking of fishing it the week after X-mas. Any updates would be appreciated.

    I think this weather has slowed down the fishing in the area. They are calling for temps in the 30’s next week. Good ice out there? I haven’t fished down there in a year or two?

    thanks

    I went out on north lake on Xmass day.Plenty of ice, 8 to ten inches,but the bite was real slow, one decent crappie and a carp tried to swim out of one of my holes.

    Hey guys, I fished North for the first time last winter but only at night. We caught a few fish but it was pretty slow. Is it normally better during the day? I figured I should find some submerged timber to start with. Any other tips on what kind of structure to look for? It looked like a lot of people just fish straight out from the landing in 7 or 8′. Thanks a lot, Vern

    I have caught all my fish first light straight out from the landing. It must be a low light bite. I usually just go out from the access and drill a bunch of holes. No specific places.

    That’s what I kinda figured. It sure isn’t like it was a few years ago!!! We need another flood!
