Black, minority Trump supporters censored by Gannett, other media at 2020 RNC Convention. Expect the same as Milwaukee hosts 2024 RNC Convention. Look back four years Wisconsin, to compare and contrast Gannett’s corrupt coverage of the 2020 Republican and Democratic National Conventions to know what to expect July 15-18 when the nation’s eyes rest on Milwaukee, home of the 2024 RNC convention.  The DNC will showcase its conventi...

Minocqua Area Fishing Report

Last week’s rain only caused a little deterioration of the surface ice that had formed.  For areas that were fishable, good safe ice remained.  Weekend’s weather, though above freezing for a small time, was not enough to mess up ice, but not enough cold to build more ice.

Walleye:  Very Good – Fish in as little as 5-7’ on shiners on tip-ups as well as jigging Raps, Slender Spoons and Slab Raps.  Early ice fish aggressive and starting on some lakes by mid-afternoon moving on ‘til & thru dark.  Fsh of several year classes (sizes) with plenty of “eaters” (15-19”) and lots of “slot” fish of 20+ being caught and released.  26 ¼” weekend’s best C&R!

Northern Pike:  Good – Large shiners or chubs best bet under tip-ups in 4-8’ cabbage.

Whitefish:  Good – (Boat angling only!)  In 30-42’ using pimples or Northland Forage Minnow jigs.

Perch:  Good – Most anglers finding good numbers in shallows on small minnows or Forage Minnow Fry (shaped like Bluegill) in 4-8’.

Musky: ??? - A few anglers working remaining open waters (Trout, Pres Isle) but no reports here from the sucker soakers.

Threat of snow this week could put a kibosh on our early ice season.  With 5-7” of ice on the most well used areas, not sure how much weight our new ice can uphold.  Reports vary from forecast of 4-24” of snow.  Until it arrives, we have no idea.  Following weeks cold could help, but not if too much snow.
