1/30/2013 8:30:00 AMAfter last week’s frigid temps ice thickness has really increased. The snow we had last weekend will help with foot travel BUT we now have freezing rain and warm temps which may cause some slush to develop. The weather is predicted to get very cold by the end of the week. Ice travel by vehicle or foot should be good as everything should freez...

1/29/2013 3:25:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The ice on the backwaters of the Wisconsin River is about 10 inches thick. It is much easier to walk out as most sloughs are frozen. There is not much snow on the top so I would suggest wearing ice cleats. The best fish bite is the last hour before sunset or the first hour after sunrise. Oth...

1/29/2013 12:40:00 PMBy John Luthens When I first ran into Andrew Drasch, I was ahead of schedule. It looked like I was going to get to work early for a change, but it turned out I rolled into the job site later than usual; which is to say, early enough to not get fired but late enough to bounce that possibility around the shop floor a few times. It was just a quick ...

1/24/2013 9:55:00 AMBy Jim Olsson When you wake up on January 15th the first thought that comes to mind probably doesn't relate to getting your boat out or going fishing in it. Maybe it should, right here in our wonderful state of Wisconsin we have one of the premier Brown trout fisheries in the entire world, The Milwaukee Harbor. Even if you can only hit...

1/22/2013 4:40:00 PMThe propane companies love weeks like this. Bitter cold and below zero temperatures are pushing fisherman into ice shacks to stay warm. The one positive result is we are building ice, and by the sounds of it, we still need that to happen. Two vehicles went through the ice on Red Cedar Lake in the last week. Please use extreme caution still wh...

1/22/2013 4:25:00 PMBy John Luthens The ice was coming on nicely in the area lakes and the pan fish and northern pike were coming up through comfortably deep holes. My jig poles and tip-ups were resting contentedly in a bucket and my portable shanty was happily tucked in a white blanket of snow in my truck bed. Then came freezing rain and the white powdery cov...

1/22/2013 4:15:00 PMBy Professional Guide Kurt Justice Brrrrrrr…. High of 10 below today, real winter! The clipper that moved in late Saturday afternoon shut the playgrounds off for a while. Wind chills in the -30/40 degree range make being outdoors somewhat dangerous right now – though some anglers have gone out. Crappies: Good-Fair. See a...

1/21/2013 12:45:00 PMBy Darrell Pendergrass On at least three or four occasions this winter I’ve found myself out on the ice staring at hard-water holes, the goal of which was to bring home a fish. That is to say, I’ve done a bit of ice-fishing this season. Normally my winter days aren’t spent fishing. Between farm chores – which only seem to ...

1/15/2013 1:05:00 PMThe rain last week knocked out all remaining snow on the local lakes, and with cold temperatures now and forecasted for the next several days, we are really going to make some solid ice. Take caution if you are going to be driving full sized vehicles on the lakes. You never know when you are going to run into a thin spot on the ice, and no fish is...

1/14/2013 4:40:00 PMAnglers have seen mixed results this past week. Many of the lakes in our area are safe to travel and many have vehicle traffic.

Tip ups with med shiners just ...
