Overnight the bite continued for those that stayed out. It did slow somewhat compared to the last few nights but was still good.  One of the highlights yesterday was a Father-Son that went out in search of Northern Pike. The Son’s first tip up catch was a 40″ 20lb plus Northern Pike. I’m pretty sure he is hooked now!   🙂   We have some pretty good areas for that type of fishing and with this warmer weather it’s alot of fun. Today so far the few that are out are having some pretty good Perch activity.

I pulled in four of our eight rentals we had out this morning while the ground was frozen in our storage lot, in preparation for the next few days of warm temps and rain.  By the weekend we are supposed possibly see some snow and more seasonable temps next week. We will still be taking reservations for rentals. As it cools off, and if it turns out looking good, I’ll pull some back out as needed.  All reservations will be tentative and have to be confirmed 48 hours before arrival so everyone knows what we are doing.   I’m hoping we can finish the last couple weeks of the season.  I’m sure we will one way or another, but it would be nice to end it on a good note.

This season will be one to remember, (or forget  😉  ). It was so frustrating when we ice in our areas that would have been good to go for us if the weather would have stayed cold. But when the warm temps arrived it wasn’t good enough to put alot of traffic on it like we normally would have in an average year.  Along with the lack of snow the ups and downs of temps the ice was cracking at night and not healing well during the day.  If we get some snow cover and more seasonable-cooler temps we can make the last couple weekends, and continue into March for Northern Pike and Perch or a Tullibee or two!   😉

Keep a Tight LIne!
