This morning’s temperature was -22 degrees. But a slow warmup will start today, and temperatures will be above zero by evening.  It looks like our cold weather is over for awhile.  I expect fishing to pick up some as the barometer changes over the next few days.

We started our weekend wheelhouse list today. If you are planning on coming out this weekend, call ahead to get on it. You will save $5.00/day on wheelhouse access fees for Fri-Sun.  Otherwise, it is $20.00 per calendar day at any other time or if you are not on the list.

We will move some rentals to new spots over the next day to prepare for the weekend. At this time, we still have two 4-person deluxe rentals and two 2-person deluxe rentals available for this weekend. Call our office for details.  Permanent customers and seasonal wheelhouse customers, remember to call 24 hours ahead for any services or arrival times.

We are looking forward to a great weekend out there!

The temperature was -22 degrees this morning, with a light NW wind. Fishermen out overnight had mixed results, but for the most part, it was pretty quiet. A couple of vehicles had to start p[problems, but for the most started up. Especially those that started and fully warmed up their rigs a couple of times overnight. The last cold night will be tonight, and a slow warmup will begin for the weekend.

We will be moving some more rentals again this week, as we did last weekend, and will be trying some new spots in areas we go to. The Perch size is slowly improving, especially in the size caught. There are still plenty of smalls in the mix, but the overall average size caught is improving.  I will post the weekend pictures on Facebook this evening.

Warmer days are coming!

The winds subsided overnight, but the temperature dropped to the upper teens below zero. With what wind we had, the wind chills were in the -30 to -40 range. Either way, it was cold.

Over the weekend, the bite was sporadic. Most had small Perch activity, but more “keeper” Perch were in the mix than last week. Some areas in the evening had a lot of small Walleye action.  And some fishermen caught some very nice ones, although few and far between. Some 28″ Walleye were caught in 12′-16′ and some nice ones in 27′-32′ transitions. Many with cameras reported that the Walleyes were there, but it was challenging to get them to bite. With the high barometer and baitfish, the fishermen were fighting an uphill battle.

With the Holiday weekend, many are staying over tonight, and we will see how the bite goes.
