Minocqua, Lac du Flambeau, St Germain, Boulder Junction, and Manitowish Waters Wisconsin open water and Ice Fishing Report
Thursday, 11/16/23
Honestly there's not a lot to report on fishing right. Hardly anybody is out there, which is nice for those who are. We hit 62 today on the thermometer but we are experiencing 1,000 mph winds (maybe a little less). But tonight the "winter starting" cold front is coming thru. For the foreseeable future we're looking at highs in the 30s. And in another week the temps aren't suppose to get out of the 20s. Com'on ice, baby. Goodnews is in another month the days will start getting longer!!!
Again, the fishing report is pretty good as long as you stay deep. Smallies, Walleye and Crappie are active but you gotta take the time to figure out what they want and how they want it. Whitefish are just starting to get active and should really take off very soon. Suckers are still temping the big Musky but again, figure the depth and then you'll be successful.
Pretty quiet otherwise. I've gotten out a little but mostly I've been spending time putting together our Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale. Details on that below and on the website. It's gonna be awesome!
