Ice Fishing SOLID start to the season

 | By Seamus on 9/21/2012 2:33:33 PM | Views (186) The Ice Season in Wisconsin has gotten off to a great start with sub zero readings on the mercury meter. Average ice depths around the state are reading from 12'' to 24'' depending on location and snow cover. Most of our attention has been placed on Lake Winnebago in the Oshkosh area. We have been seeing a mixed bag of fish including great diversity; Walleyes, White Bass, Perch, and the occasional Catfish or Crappie all make for a good days worth of fishing. This all takes place out of the same hole on some occasion!!!

Concentrate efforts on the 16' and deeper depths out in the "mud" and stay extremely mobile. If we're not marking good numbers of fish within 10-15 minutes we're on the move. Our movements range from 1/4 to 1 mile with each move until we find what it is we like to see. Consistent marks mean you're close, sparse marks mean a farther maneuver to find the key location.

Our best baits have been Jigging Raps and Forage Minnows. Both tipped with a minnow head of your choice. These fish like the bait moving constantly and quite aggressively. Tip-ups are also taking fish once you find the key location to spend a significant amount of time on.

Is it spring yet? Come on Mother Nature, bring it on....
