that is where the best fishing is especially for jumbo perch in the 40 -45 feet of water as well as good walleye fishing on the upward shoal. Fished many years there when the Franklin Dunrovin the blue dolphin and the glenwood Unfortunately no operators fish there any more A few years back the waltonian had a hut there but they no longer run icefishing packages any more.

I won't go out until I see a bunch of other people out, that does not include the 4 people I saw walking about 100ft of shore today.

Manitous - Limit of perch last January plus a few others in 4 hours:

Ice was horrible last year and only made it out that far twice but fishing both times was off the charts.

I forgot to add my date. We’re going up late this coming season. I have a long 81 days to go. March 7 can’t come too soon.

I think the forecast looks good. Half a day at plus 3 or 4 with 1/4 inch of rain. Should be just enough to clean off the snow and smooth out some rough spots. That gets followed with 5 or 6 days of negative teens and twenties. With snow gone that will build lots.

Past a week the forecast is meh but they aren't accurate that far ahead so time will tell.

LOL! That's what the MNR said when i got checked coming off the ice. Only time fishing or hunting where CO took a picture of my catch. One of the few times when i couldn't fit all my fish in my cooler.
