JANUARY 19 ICE FISHING REPORT — LAKE OF THE WOODS​

 
Hey Sportsfans!
 
After a few days of hard work, the guides have shifted the entire fleet of houses east (7 miles past Pine Island). 
 
Even through the cold snap, we continue to hear reports of good fishing. Seeing buckets of nice size keepers, plus rumors of slot fish, from most houses at the end of the day. 
 
Successful Presentations: 
 
1) A tungsten buck shot spoon with a minnow head
 
2) Deadstick Option – Red 1/8oz jig with active minnow
 
Most reports claim to catch more while jigging than with a deadstick. 
 
Keep an eye on your electronics… We have seen a number of active, suspended fish. To hit bottom, you are looking at roughly 30′ of water. 
 
Due to high winds, and whiteout conditions, we made the switch to bombers on Friday afternoon. 
 
SET THE HOOK!
