2/4/14 - Reported by Long Lake Bait and Tackle
Fishing seems to have slowed down quite a bit everywhere. Folks are working for their keep! Still catching Crappie, Bluegill, & some Northern. A few Walleye here and there. Selling a lot of Shiners and Suckers both medium and large along with Crappie minnows, Spikes & Waxies. Jig colors that seem to be working best are tiger, chartreuse, gold and some blues. Frigid temps and extensive snow cover is proving to be a challenge for fishermen to get out on the lakes. Hopefully with temps above 0 things will pick up. Besides, any day fishing is better than a day at work! Enjoy!
