Minocqua area fishing report
Despite cold temps (18 degrees this morning when I opened), lakes that opened up to some extent are NOT safe to access. Reports in our area show only the south end of Big Arbor Vitae having enough ice (aprox 8") to fish and even that should be approached with extreme caution!
Crappies: Good. When conditions allow. Slow drop plastics or waxies, or try tip-downs with minnows.
High winds and cold made for tough conditions. With the exception of Big Arb, can't really recommend ANY ice fishing.
