Fishing report 1-22-2011

Hi everyone,

Well, I didn't make it to da U.P. because the lake I wanted to fish was recieving more lake affect snow and I found out they already had about 24" of snow on the ice. That's what makes it so hard to ice fish the U.P. To much snow.

I fished my favorite little lake close to home and did pretty well all things considered. Caught 3 walleyes with 1 keeper. The other two were just under sized at 14". had 6 flags on the tip ups, but only caught 1 walleye that way. Did have a musky bite one line off. The other flags, the fish took out about 30 feet of line each time before dropping it. I had sucker minnows on the tip ups. Caught two walleyes jigging . Both came on a jigging Rap tipped with a minnow head. Lost two other fish at the hole. They weren't big enough to be keepers, so it was like doing a long distant release.

It was colder then heck. With a stiff north wind and temps in the single digits, the wind chills were well below zero. My hole in my portable kept freezing, so I had to continually keep scooping it to keep it open. Decided to go when my propane ran out. I'll be back there again with extra propane tomorrow.

So it was a bad weekend. First on Saturday I went fishing. Cold and could not find any fish willing to bite (1 largemouth). Then today the Bears get beat by the Packer.

Glad you got some fish and good luck to the Packers at the Super Bowl.

Hi ALVW,

I just got back from fishing so missed the Packer game. I'll make a report tomorrow when I thaw out. I've seen some reports on espn and NFL network. The only reason everyone is so upset at cutler is the bears lost to the Packers. C'mon, the guy had an owie. Both teams had good years, so you can't take that away. There's always next year.... for da Bears. Two weeks for the Packers. Go Pack Go.
