Reports have been quiet lately due to slush and snow continuing to hold anglers back. Warm weather and sunshine later this week finally look promising. Crappie: Good. Fish being caught in water depths of 6-15 feet and beginning to move up higher in the water column; best times being early to mid-morning and then again late-afternoon-dusk. Tip downs with crappie minnows and rosies, as well as plastics beginning to work well. Rockers and shad darts tipped with waxies also starting to produce fish. Perch: Good-Very good. Cold temps are still holding fish over deeper mud flats of 15-30 feet. Tip downs with rosies and crappie minnows are producing larger fish. Tungsten jigs tipped with wigglers and waxies are catching fish. Bluegills: Good-Very Good. Shad darts and gill pills tipped with waxies and chena bait working well. Spikes are also working for less active fish. Anglers are targeting depths of 6-12’ with dense vegetation. Crossing our fingers for the 40 degree weather and sunshine projected for late this week to pack down some of the snow on the ice so lake travel becomes much easier.
