Russ's fishing report

[Russ-Judy]

Russ's report -

The wind was really wicked and relentless this morning and slowed down the eyes for a couple hours. When the wind slowed up here comes a nice 14 1/2" crappie followed by very aggressive walleyes along with 3 nice northerns. Lots of catch and release and plenty in the keeper range.

The holes froze over a little with the wind but everything is banked and good to go now. Everyone is moving across the crack in the ice over bridges now to get further out for more action and less traffic. Just a suggestion - if you can bring a pickup or van instead of a car it is better for crossing the bridges.

It was so windy this morning that Russ put a snap roap on his can of Old Milwaukee to be sure it didn't get away.
He might have lost one of the generators though - good thing he has a couple spares.

Ice is still slick in spots but some drifts between the houses are up to Russ's knees. (If you know Russ and his short legs, that is only about 12"  )

The ice on the lake is great, just watch for the rough spots.

The guys are planning to go in and have a big fish fry tonight at the cabin and get ready for another day tomorrow.
Hope to see you on the ice!

We'll be looking to hook onto some of those crappies again.

Thankyou for the report Judy. I am hearing good things from the big pond this week.

Make sure you tell Russell hi from everyone on MNO.

Hopefully I can track down Russ in a few weeks when I am up.  After catching some of those white tips and crappies will have to head over and share a beverage or two...
