Hopefully the cold snap is over for a while.  Last week was brutal.  The fishing slowed during the cold snap but it is already improving since the really cold temps and high winds have passed.  This next weekend sounds wonderful, temps in the 30’s.  The fish should really be popping.  I think this is one weekend out of the whole winter where you should be fishing.
 
As I said, this last weekend started slowly after Thursday night’s Arctic Blast with hurricane winds.  The fish were there on the cameras and vexilars, but the fish were just looking.  As the weekend went on, they started getting more active.  Saturday night was better than Friday.  Quite a few nice walleyes up to 28 ½ “ were caught, with a lot of 2013 year class also.  It was also a weekend for big northern as our pictures show.  The number of perch were down some, as you might expect with the cold snap, but size was very good.  I expect this next weekend to be one of the best so far with the warm temps coming.

Our roads are in great shape, we are getting them all cleared good and wide after all the wind.  No bridges are out but  as you know that can change.  Have a few rental houses left for this weekend and also remember, we honor our mid-week special (1/2 price) for MLK day on Monday.  The weather is supposed to be nice so bring the kids up and celebrate a day off of school on the ice.
