4-27-14 The fishing is good!

The bite has been great! We have been dealing with some crazy weather but we are still making things happen. Limits of Walleye and some eater size Crappies have been hitting the livewells. Over the next couple weeks we have many weekday spots open and a couple weekend spots. If your looking for a fun bite or maybe even wanting to learn the lake a give us a call you won’t be disappointed. We are a full service guide that supplies everything.

Great Fishing and Lots of Ice!

I’ve been fishing on and around Clear Lake and the fishing has been great. Lots of panfish are being caught and we still have lots of ice fishing left in this season.  I’ll be off to Boji Monday night and won’t be home until Friday night.  It sounds like the bite has been getting better and I’m looking forward to some better fishing over there.  We do have some spots open over the next few weeks so if your looking for a fun bite give us a call.  Panfish

1/9/14 – 1/12/14 was a very tough bite on West O.

20140113_17032320140112_110533Over the last few days I can honestly say that we got are butts handed to us.  This was the worst weekend I have ever had.  The good news is that it can only get better. We did manage to catch a few hogs.  I’ll be going back over Wednesday to work on the bite for the upcoming run of trips.  I’m going to try a couple different game plans and I do think they will pay off.

Clear Lake has continued to be good for Yellow Bass and Crappie.
Crystal Lake has been a hot spot for Gills and Crappie. Both of those lakes are located in North Central Iowa and a lot of fun to fish.

ICE REPORT!!  The ice is great with little to no snow cover.  20 to 24 inches most everywhere.
Hot Bait.  Clam Dingle Drop and a Maki Maki Pink.

Back home from the Iowa Great Lakes!

I’ll be honest with ya the fishing has been very tough but we will managed to stick some good fish. Everything should pick up after this next cold spell.  The best area on Spirit was the east shore 17 to 20 ft and my panfish came from Minne in 11 fow.

When I got back to Clear Lake the fishing was on fire.  Lots of Yellows / Crappie and some keeper Walleye Mixed in.  Im pretty booked up for this week but I do have a few days open next week during the week.  If your looking to just catch a bunch of fish give me a call. Im sure we can put you in the right spot.  Spirit Lake Minne Crappie Ice Team Panfish Crappie

Clear Lake Dec. 30th – Jan 3

We have a few spots open the week of the new year.  If your looking for a fun bite Clear Lake has been pretty good. We have been catching lots of Yellows and some Walleye mixed in.  The Yellows are not huge but lots eaters and there is plenty of them to be caught.  If you have any questions about these dates give me a call and I can tell ya what we have open.  I’m going to Okoboji Thursday I’ll post a new report when I get back. 20131223_095512 Walleye
