Walleye fishing is still slow in the Phillips area, Fishermen are catching some nice pike on tip-ups around the last of the green weeds. Setting a golden shiner a foot or so below the ice has been getting the best action. Reports of 30 to mid 30" pike are coming into Ross's Sport Shop. Bluegill action has been the best bight this week, Cribs in 8 to 15 feet of water have been holding the gills. I have my favorite cribs that I located in the summer with my boat saved in my GPS. I like using a Frabil Bro series Quick tip rod with a 1000 sized reel. I like the bigger reel because it seems to reduce the line twist of the smaller tighter spools. A small jig with a gob of spikes is a hard treat for any gill to refuse!!!
The bluegill pictured isn't a big fish but for the size they really can fight!!!
