Never IF here before, so I guess we were paying our dues...
Fished out off the flats, NW the boat launch, in about 8FOW.
Seen 1 pike about 24", and a few micro perch in 4 hours. Moved up closer to shore ,by the launch, and set up in 14FOW. Fished for another 3 hours and caught 5 dink perch. Still had a good time fishing with friends and even got to break in a "virgin" too. :eek: :D
Took the sled and cruised around the lake, talked to about 5 other groups that were out. Couple of keeper pike and that was about it. Overall pretty slow in the fishing department. Ice was about 8" with a foot of snow on top.
One thing I saw that bothered me....If you are going to take your kids out IF..Make sure they have the gear..I saw some mullet out there with his son and the poor kid didn't have any gloves on or any snowpants either, and they were sitting on buckets!! The wind was whipping hard and it was cold as........ I don't see how the kid could have had any fun. Kid will probably never want go again.
Has anyone ever fished the NW side of the lake, by the little park?? Looking for some new spots to try for next time....Any help??
Lk Cadillac was slow too.... talked to a couple of groups while we were at the sands and they didn't do anything there either.
