Saturday was a good day for most fishermen who came to fish out of our place. It was our first Saturday being open, and there was a big turnout of customers. The bite was pretty good for most out there.  Numerous slot Walleyes were reported, some over the slot I received pictures of, along with a 39″ Northern. Still, most reported a lot of small Walleye and Perch C/R.  Just before dark, the keeper Perch started biting in a couple of spots, and some Anglers had some decent Perch catches.  I will be posting them on our Facebook Ice Fishing page later today.

Ice thickness varies from as little as 9″ to as much as 13″ close to shore. Most of it averages 10″-12″.  In the next few days, I will work on improving rough ice spots in the roads and getting things ready for when we see 14″ of consistent ice out there when we can start pulling some of the houses. Currently, we have two basic four-hole houses out for rent. Those renting will need an ATV to access them or get to shore in an emergency. We can shuttle gear to and from if required.

So far, so good!
