It looks like we are going to finally get ice this season! The extended forecast starting on Monday looks GREAT! Let’s just hope the wind dies down enough for the lakes to freeze. Hopefully, buy next weekend we will have fishable ice on the small shallow lakes and bays. If you haven’t got your ice fishing stuff ready yet, now is the time to do it! If there is anything you need, stop in we have plenty of ice fishing equipment in stock at very competitive prices.

For anglers itchin to go fishing, there is ice up north, or head to one of the rivers. The Rock River in Jefferson and Fort Atkinson has been producing walleyes. The Wisconsin, Fox, Wolf rivers have also been producing fish. There are a few anglers taking boats out, but there are plenty of places to fish from shore and catch fish. Jigs or river rigs baited with a jumbo fathead or large lake shiner minnow have proved successful. Stinger hooks are recommended for those light biting walleyes.

Anglers have also been talking their boats out or fishing from shore on the area lakes. But hopefully, the ice will stop this soon.

Help us help you, please email us any fishing reports at dicksbait@wi.rr.com

Good Luck!
