Lake Noquebay

Awesome, thanks for the information Skypilot1.  Looking forward to the trip! 

Fish along the weed edges with the wind blowing your line with bobbers to the weed edge. Also look for openings in the weeds, pockets of no weeds surrounded by the weeds. Look for areas of 6ft to 15 ft and keep the bait above the fish when spotted on sonar. I catch walleye by casting for them in open areas where weed growth is minimal but tight to bottom. Use typical walleye tackle. If you know how to drop shot in light weeds you can have success as well but you'll have to look for the fish by moving around.  There are large perch in the lake if you can find them. I only find them in the winter.

Will be up to lake Noquebay for the first time at the end of July for 5 days.  Will have my 5 and 3 yo kids with me.  Any recommendations for where to get the kids on some pan fish action? 

Son and I caught 20 nice gills in ​around the bull rushes early this morning. Pretty much spawned out, also a few bass mixed in with them. Water was 72 degrees, by 10 o'clock the wind pushed us out, That way plenty anyway.

Fished today from 11 to 2. Found some gills right next to shore in a foot or two if water. Lots of small ones but managed to keep 9 decent ones.  Looked for crappies in the lilly pads, but nothing there yet, water temp was 57.

Just a note, the roads to the county park on the south side are under construction. You can get through but it's all gravel and pretty rough.

Does anyone have a ice report for Lake Noquebay?
Thanks LIEBE

Stopped by the county park today, not a car in the lot and I did not see anyone anywhere on the lake. Ice didn't have water on top and I could see where someone drilled a hole about 100 yards off the landing. From where I was standing the north side of the lake looked open? Can someone verify that? Thanks.

Is there an issue with slush, and or water on top of the ice ?

Went out yesterday in front of timberline, Had a few flags all little northern and one bass. No panfish. Ice was looking good. Except for the big boom that scared everyone on the lake! There was a crack that opened up in front of timberline with water coming up, seemed to be freezing up when we left at dark. only seen one permanent shack out 

Was out this past weekend and stayed on the ice friday-sunday.  8" of ice. No vehicles other than quads and UTV. Caught a few pike in the 8' depth range.
