The weekend bite was pretty good for the Tullibee and Perch out there.  The water on the road froze up is fairing well with only a couple spots that broke up Friday, but they froze solid by Saturday.  Sounds like Tues-Wed we are could get some snow.  So after I will go out and see what can be done to get out there going into this coming weekend.

With the bite improving over what it has been this year, there is quite a bit of interest from fishermen to come up and give it that last try.  And Thank You for those that have.  The little bit of extra income helps after a winter like we’ve had this year.

Keep a Tight LIne!

Today we had five rigs out and I got a chance to talk to a couple as they left. The Tullibees were biting pretty good and the Perch were mixed in.  The Perch caught were nice sized 11-13″, but the schools were small in numbers when they came in, which has been noticed the last couple years or so.

The good news is that with what I’ve seen this past winter with the Perch and the numbers of 6-9 inch Perch that were caught and seen in camera’s and the millions of 3-6 inch ones out there that pestered everyone,  i think we will have some catch-able and keep-able Perch next winter. They might not be “Jumbo’s”, but I think there will be a lot of 10 inch plus out there.  Sometimes I think that the DNR forgot what alot of of fishermen like to do in the winter.

If you are planning on coming up the next few days, please call in advance so we can inform you on what the road is looking like.   It is going to stay below freezing up here so it should be pretty good out going, but I want everyone to have 4WD just in case.

Keep a Tight Line!!

From here on it it will be 4WD vehicles only.  This last batch of warm weather put a lot of water on the roads, especially towards the side we plow the snow to.  The snow has settled a lot, but really no evidence of water going down yet.  With the colder weather coming next week things should firm up and more likely than not we will still be letting fishermen out.

The Perch and Tullibee bite actually isn’t too bad.  This last 10 days there have been some nice sized Perch caught.  Actually seen a couple 14″ inchers.  But don’t expect a limit or anything like that.  The Tullibee that are being caught are in the 16-18″ range.

Best advice is to call us  the evening before you plan to come for any changes out there.

Keep a Tight Line!!
