MrGiggles Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Got out today. Quite a few boats out, most ramps are clear now, very little ice left, what is there is really slushy and easily broken. Wind was brutal and I didn't really do much main lake fishing. I eventually stumbled across a school of shad back in a cove and found some fish in it. Mostly short crappie, but a couple keepers and one walleye. No luck with the spoon today, 1/8 oz pink jig and a zoom tiny fluke is what they seemed to prefer. dan hufferd, waterpossum, lmt-outfitters and 9 others 9 3 -Austin

DADAKOTA Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Always loved seeing the "false bottom" on the screen due to a huge shad/fish school MrGiggles 1

I found a few smaller ones checking river channels, but nothing big like I had been fishing before we got the bad weather. I found the one in the photos totally by accident, was motoring around a cove trying to see how thick the ice was, and ran across it. Didn't think you'd find them back there when the water is this cold. -Austin
