Fishing has remained good in early February. Sunfish have continued to bite well during the day, usually in 11 to 14 feet in Wagener’s Bay, Pillsbury Reef, Center Reef and Waconia Bay. Sorting needs to be done to get keepers, but it’s still very possible to bring a nice meal home. Crappies have been found in the same areas in the evening, but have been more active deep in 20 to 24 feet in the hole of Wagener’s Bay. We’ve had some nice crappies shown to us in the 11 to 14 inch range the past couple of weeks by those qualifying to play our FREE Ice and Dice game. The game ends Sunday, 2/16, so bring your catch in for your chance to win! Northern pike activity has picked up too. Action started slow for pike, but we’ve had good reports of varieties of sizes being caught on sucker minnows near the shallower panfish areas described above. Bass have also continued to surprise in those same areas. Walleyes haven’t been as active this winter as other years. Those having success are out in the early morning hours or spending the night away from the large crowds. Don’t give up on chasing them as we still have 2-1/2 weeks left in the Gamefish season, which ends after Sunday, 2/23.
We still have some openings for Fish House rentals in February! Call (952) 442-2096 to reserve. Our houses are comfortable, warm and ready to fish with the holes drilled.
