Just got back foggy this morning  till the sun came up fished from 15 ft to five feet a lot of perch and crappie all small it was tough you’ll still have safe ice tomorrow watch out for holes a lot not frozen over if you have cleats wear them  just be safe  hope your on them 

Anyone been on recently? How's the ice? Would like to check it out tomorrow, any insight is appreciated!

Fished on Saturday from 1:15 to about 3:30.  The west section of the lake looked pretty crowded so I went back to the east side just NE of the first bridge.

Caught a perch in 24 fow right for the get go, it came up 3 feet off the bottom and hit a northland eyeball spoon (with waxworm) with gusto.  

After that, not a single fish would move more than 12" off the bottom.  I hopped around, in depths between 24' and 15'.  Had a few light hits on a 1/32 oz jig with a plastic tail, but no fish.

Around 3pm, fish got more active, they would come in hard to a spoon (silver Swedish pimple, tipped with a microplastic), including coming a few feet off the bottom, but wouldn't bite (didn't matter if I continued jigging, held it still, made it shimmer, etc.).  Eyeball jig with waxworm would get no bites.  A tungsten jig with a waxworm got a couple nibbles, but no fish.

Then I had to leave, but I'm guessing they were getting more active as the sun got lower and wish I could have stayed later.  

Hey Electric ,

I am going to Mallard this afternoon. any suggestions on where to go for Pan fish?  

On the ice at 730 till 12noon camera on a  gonelot of crappies and gills and a mixed bag of perch the look do not what it jigged dead stick and listen to the radio perch were on real small minnows on a gold hook drop shot in the weeds 12 inch’s up  dead stick  crappies suspended at 9 ft we were fishing at 12ft minnow heads  a lot of small gills on spikes (red)  one flag up no fish but sucker was raked he ran and stoped did run again thats fishing  ended up with two dinners 10 perch 15 crappie and 6 9 inch gills  between both of us  ps tip up was in 5 ft??

Fished on Saturday, 2/13/21 from about 1:30pm to 4pm.  

Not too familiar with the lake and the first spot I identified on the map was occupied.

Went to 24 fow just NE of the first bridge and found small perch.  

Caught them on several lures, with wax worms and on a bare spoon.  Probably spent more time seeing what lures they’d bite on.  Moved around a bit down to 11 fow.  First place with perch was still the best.

Fish got inactive as the snow stopped.

I’ll need to learn this lake.
