LOTW Report 2/5/2012

[Border View Lodge]

We are anxiously waiting for the end of the 14 day pregame show for the super bowl!  And, I apologize for the poor attempt at humor.  We are expecting a good game and great humor in the commercials!

Fishing continues to be good!  We have houses spread across 10 miles of the lake and are getting ready to set up some Northern Pike houses.  We have seen more sauger action this week and we continue to catch those slot size Walleye along with nice keepers for eating.

We are still sticking to the same traditional lures, anything gold and glow is working really well.  Of course plain hooks are good and the new glass jigs seem to be working as well.  Fatheads seem to be preferred as they provide a nice lively action.

The weather has been surprisingly moderate this year and the barometer has been mostly favorable for fishing so far all winter.  The forecast is showing more of the same with some single digit weather on the way.  It has been so mild we are starting our dock repair projects early, never before in February.

For those in the Cedar Rapid IA area we look forward to seeing you next week end at the Sport Show 10th, 11th and 12th.

We have openings for this week for those wanting to get in some midweek ice fishing.  Come join us!     

FISH ON!
