2/1/12 Report

[John Carlson]

Panfish are still at the top of the hot bite list in the Phillips Area. Bluegill action is still good on most lakes, the gills have moved into a little deeper water and are being found in 8 to 15 feet of water. Spike or Waxie tipped jigs are still the best producers along with fish coming on plastics. The crappie action is good as well, I haven't been doing good in the normal high pressure areas so I have been moving around and have been getting on a pretty good bite. Most of my Crappie are coming on deadsticks with a minnow. I have also been doing well on plastics, switching colors as the bite slows. The walleye action still is slow but anglers are reporting some catches in deeper water right on the break. Pike action is still consistent with most fish coming on tip-ups and Golden Shiners.
