1/22/2014 12:20:00 PMA combination of moon phase and weather conditions made for some slow fishing again this week, Fish are still being caught but the bite is slow and light. Ice conditions are making it pretty tough to get around as well, with all the cold weather there is plenty of ice but there is also a lot of snow piled on it and the weight of the snow is...

1/22/2014 12:10:00 PMThe area lakes are covered in snow. Deep snow to say the least. If you are venturing out off the beaten path, make sure to have a buddy on speed dial with a tow strap. Even full sized trucks are getting stuck with the depth of snow covering ice on the lakes. It seems like the fish are in the mid winter lull right now. They are able to be caught bu...

1/22/2014 11:55:00 AMWith the more seasonal and consistent weather this past week, ice thickness has been holding in the 15” to 17” range on most lakes across the Northwoods. However, there is about 8 to 12 inches of snow on top of the ice and this has made vehicle travel rather tough in undisturbed areas. Most ice traffic is sticki...

1/22/2014 11:50:00 AMThe Butternut and Schnurs lake association held their annual fisheree this past Saturday. The weather was great and so was the turn out. The walleye action was good in the early morning and then late in the afternoon. Pike activity was good throughout the day. Walleyes were taken off the gravel bars in 6- 14 feet of water. The pike were locating of...

1/15/2014 11:30:00 AMBy Jim Weix Hunting season is over and the endless gray cold days just keep dragging on. Looking for a change of scenery? Maybe it is time for a fishing trip and I’m not talking about standing on the ice. Instead of insulated boots, I’m thinking sunshine and flip flops. Forget your deer hunting outfit and wear shorts and a T-s...

1/15/2014 11:15:00 AMIt was a great weekend to be outdoors with the warm temps, but the fish didn't cooperate quite as well as the weather. Fishermen were still able to catch fish but like most times the high pressure system bite was a tough one. We did have some good reports of Northern Pike action, Look for the pike near the shallow weedy...

1/15/2014 11:15:00 AMSteve Suman The North Woods finally received a reprieve from the frigid weather, with the Sunday afternoon temperature reaching into the mid-30s. The forecast predicts a return to the cold this week, though not as extreme, and good chances for snow nearly every day. Wisconsin’s second annual winter Free Fishing Weekend is January 18-19 and ...

1/13/2014 10:25:00 AMThe Minocqua area fishing report from Kurt’s Island Sports Finally! A break in the weather so we can get out and fish! With temps in the balmy mid 20s this weekend, anglers got back out on the ice. While not as many anglers participated as expected, those that got out were greeted with some good fishing. Perch: Good- Very Good. ...

1/8/2014 7:05:00 PMThe brutally cold weather of the past week has really put a damper on both angling pressure and fish activity. Sub-zero high temperatures and windy conditions have kept most anglers off of the ice, with a few of the coldest days seeing virtually no fishing activity on many lakes. Some diehard panfish and walleye anglers did make...

1/8/2014 6:55:00 PMBy Wayne Morgenthaler The weather has been nice and cold for making good ice. The fish have been biting in most of the backwaters from Lone Rock to Boscobel. Just make sure you have at least wax worms and red worms. For some reason certain lakes one bait works better than others. Small jigs of about any color seems ...
-
1/8/2014 6:55:00 PMGreat walleye fishing on area lakes with some big walleyes coming through the ice. Most action has been on tip-ups baited with large golden shiners but we are catching a few fish by jigging with Northland Buckshot Spoons. The crappie bite has been fantastic with limit catches and fish up to and over 12 inches being the norm. Mo...

1/8/2014 6:50:00 PMLast week I took my youngest son out on the ice. Three-year old Don had a blast as I got him on a bite of smaller Crappie and Bluegills. It didn't matter to Don that most of the fish were small and he had just as much fun watching them swim back down the hole as he had reeling the fish in. Most of the Crappie on this day came on dead ...

1/8/2014 6:45:00 PMThe extreme cold conditions have brought mix results to our area anglers. When fishing this past week the afternoon into late evening provided the best walleye activity. Smaller size minnows saw the most activity. Jigging off of gravel bars in 8- 14ft of water. Pike activity was spotty with fish taken on larger shiners on tip-ups in 3-6 ft. of wate...
-
1/8/2014 6:20:00 PMAs can be imagined, not much for fishing participation this past week with either high winds through Saturday or brutal cold temps (down to -31 degrees including 2 days of school closings) through Tuesday. A few people did get out and actually caught fish, but, if you didn’t have a permanent shanty with a good heater, you stayed home. ...

1/8/2014 6:20:00 PMSteve Suman Yes, it is cold in the North Woods (-20 Monday night, but it is winter), however, trails and conditions are some of the best ever for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. The forecast for the week ahead shows temperatures becoming “less cold” through the week and – get this – highs in the 30s (ab...
