  Weather again was perfect and there were a lot of people on the lake.  Minnewaska still have a good 9 to 10 inches of ice and the ice is in great condition.  There seems to be a lot of hype and concern of the ice around the state and that may be true on other lakes...but Minnewaska is a shallow prairie lake and the ice is thick and hard.  There are several "big" houses on the ice (up to 3,000 lbs.) and we moved another 8x16 out yesterday.  Even seen one brave soul out with his S10 truck...but we all agreed that he was nuts.  Walleyes are still being caught in the 14 to 16 foot depth.  Our best luck has been on a #6 Glow Rock and Roll with a big fathead...however last night the big fish, a 21 inch walleye, was caught on a shiner with a Moon Glo.  Just gotta try everything I guess.  The crappie bite is definitely on...there must have been 50 or 60 people out from the DNR wall on Saturday.  Nice Sunfish can be caught early with Crappies starting later in the day.  A lot of fun!  A favorite is our really small crappie minnows.  Wigglers and waxworms are always good as well.  Fish On will have a good inventory of crappie minnows, fatheads, shiners, suckers, spearing decoys, waxies, wigglers and much more.  Stop in to see the newly remodeled store and latest fishing updates.  We are located two blocks south of the stop lights.  Pope County also has a lot of public land for anyone to come out and chase some roosters...pheasants everywhere!  Stop by and say Hi!
Ice is great...come out for the weekend...bring the family!

I was on waska friday night after some eyes. Right out in front of the beach. No keepers were caught but there was about 12" of ice where we were at. A guy in a 2 wheel drive ranger was driving out there. Fact he drove right by my house going about 50 MPH. Poor fool slowed down when he got to shore ended up getting stuck in the beach sand. I thought of helping get him out but instead was wishing he wouldda got stuck in a spearhole.
