Beaver Dam Lake, Dodge County (all postings)

Hope your shack is blocked up. Once the water freezes on top of the ice, your runners will be frozen in solid... Let me tell you how much is sux chipping them out.

Got out yesterday a total of eleven eyes one being a leagal. My first beaver dam leagal! fished the rest of the day and night we were set up by one. caught the legal at one thirty. We didnt get another flag untill four thirty and then it was on every fifteen minutes we had another flag. Every third one had a fish on the end of it. We gave up to the elements at nine. My dad and i were both soaked to the bone and the wind was cutting right through us! The dogs both started to get cold so we called it quits and headed back satisfied with what we managed! Cant wait to get back out and keep trying!

Hindsight...is 20/20

Bassmaster i would tell you this as i grew up on this lake first if your shack is on the west side of skunk island move it other that i think you'll be fine we shouldn't lose alot of ice as its going to cool down again starting Sat. evening. I would say this though highside is twenty twenty if your nervous follow your instincts and move it closer to shore or pull it better safe than sorry. just my two cents worth.

Can anyone tell me where pukagie sp??? bay is

Thanks

I have my shack out on bd. For the local people do u think it will be ok with this weather. I'm near water works park? Please let me know. I'm out of town for the weekend and Really don't want my shack taking a swim. Thanks again!

Fished from 4:15-6:15 mid lake. Two flags - one at 5:00 caught a 20.5" eye, the second just before six (on the SAME minnow) felt much bigger but got off.

Out from 330-900 4 flags and only 2 shorts. I have an idea of what I think the pattern is that these walleyes are on. But I have not recently fished my pattern and so I have had limited success. I try to take people fishing that have never caught a walleye through the ice or have had limited success and most of the time they are not willing to put in the effort necessary to be successful most of the time.

Went out tonight 3pm to 7pm 3 flags one 15 incher Would say longer have to work in the morning,

Been out on bdam a lot this year and everytime I've come off the ice with at least 14 crappies and gills every time,most of time time it is with a limit !!! We also have pulled out 6 pike, and a ton of walleyes, this lake is awesome, learn how to find fish and do it your self you get more out of it!!!!!

LINES TIGHT

Been going out often this winter with the last time being Sunday night. I fish anywhere from 1 to 5 feet of water and anywhere in between. last Sunday I got my limit all finished came between 2&4 a.m.. all 20 to 23 inches. just a word of advice for you out of towners there is plenty of lake to fish I do best when I am alone. the late night bite can be better!and if you are too lazy to walk to your tipup you are too lazy to fish this lake! You cannot sit in 1 spot all year and expect them to come to you you have to drill holes you have to work for them. You have to put your time in!!and you cannot expect to nail them from 4 to 7 p.m. every night. it can change! the Walleyes have no set schedule but you can key in on patterns. you must adapt and overcome. Oh and quit asking for hotspots. get a map and be somebody. heres a pic from monday morning and one of my buddys 27incher he Released. tight lines!

Heading out tomorow night with a couple first timers for night fishing how has the fishing been on the north half of the lake. I ask there because that is where all of my previous experiance though the ice is. Also during the day has anyone found some panfish. Im looking for something to do to keep me busy during the day.Thanks a ton for all the reports I will be sure to report how I do! Hopefully have some pictures of some keepers finaly!

The Springs Bar is having one the weekend of Jan. 18th and 19th. 10.00 per person to enter.

dose anybody know if they are going to have a ice fishing tournament this year on beaver also if you can tell me when it is

Definitely walk or snowmobile! ice was 6 inches last night on the north end where I was fishing.
