FISHING REPORTS AND MORE ON FACEBOOK Not a facebook user? See complete reports below

January 31st

The guys drilled and measured ice throughout the open water areas from a couple weeks back, yesterday (the 30th). A week ago, the newest ice was 2.5 inches thinner than the 2nd newest ice. ( 7.5 inches and 5 inches respectively) Now, after the cold snap this past weekend and cold nights for a week, the two age groups of ice have equaled out. Both are now 10.5 to 11". So that's the ice we have to cross to get the flats. How long it will take to get another 2 inches, who knows. It takes much more cold temps and time to gain an inch at 11" versus when it is 5 to 7". In other words, ATV traffic is just fine anywhere to the flats but NO FULL SIZE VEHICLE travel to the flats from our areas at this point. Maybe next week? Maybe not this year.... Fishing reports are "spotty". This past weekend, many reported tough results. But some reported great numbers of fish caught. The range of depths where fish were caught in good numbers covered the whole spectrum. But the same held true within the poor reports as well. 20 inches of ice where our houses are now! .

Ice depth is at 19 inches in the areas off the break where our houses are located. There is other age groups of ice ranging from around 6 inches just west of Knox Point area to up 11 inches in areas and up 14 inches in others ! So vehicle travel is still limited to the near shore structures........ONLY ATV AND SLEDS are allowed out to the mud flats at this time. Fishing success mixed......some are getting fish while others are not. You do have to work at it...Those that are getting fish are catching them during the evening and early hours of the morning. Jigging spoons with a pinched minnow head will do the trick. Don't forget stopping at the new Waypoint Cafe.....when you are hungry! and that can be anytime..........
