Price County Fishing Report 11/18/14
With 3 to 6 inches of ice being reported on most area waters the Open Water fishing season has come to a screeching halt. There were mixed reviews on 2014 season, Walleye seemed to be a little tough but it was a great panfish season for most area anglers. Musky fishermen were torn, some reported a great season while other sad it was a tough bite, I think that was depending on your style of fishing.
Reports are coming in from the first ice anglers of the season already, They are reporting some ok catches of Walleye, in the shallow flats and bays. Pike action has also been ok. There are no reports of panfish yet as most of the fishermen haven't felt that the ice is save enough to venture out onto ice that covers the deeper water and yet.
Pictured is me with my largest fish of the 2014 season, which also was my largest fish of the 2013 season!!!! This just goes to show you that proper handling of fish and Catch and Release works, Scar as I have named the fish because of the scar in the tail section of the fish visited my boat about 350 days apart in the fall of 2013 and then again this fall. Both times I caught Scar on a quick set and a sucker in about the same area.
