Great ice fishing season this year!

Minocqua Area Fishing Report Jan 21st, 2025
All right ladies and gentlemen ice anglers... Start your engines!
I realize my reports are on the conservative end in regards to driving trucks on the ice. Plenty of anglers have already been driving trucks I know, but I couldn't in good conscience give an all-around okay. Following the past couple of days though low temperatures of 22 and 27 below zero on the 20th and 21st of January, the 16 to 20-inch reports from Saturday will surely be in the 20 to 24 inch range by this Thursday. With 2 plus inches of snow on the ice, access by trucks and even all wheel drive cars will be fine.

Crappie: Good
Decent bite, even for the few crazies such as my grandson who went out in 17° below temperatures on Monday because Lakeland school was closed. Nice crappies with many in the 10 to 13 inch range including a 15-in slab caught and quickly returned by musical talent Bernie Thompson. Suspended fish in the 16 to 24-inch depth from reports being caught 3 to 6 ft off the bottom using cast Masters, both spoons and tiki flash these were tipped with wax worms. Still some fish hanging out in the weeds were being caught but very tight to the bottom on forage fried jigs tipped with waxies or spikes.

Yellow Perch: Good
Best in 16 to 20 foot mud flats. Schools are cruising. With the cold, the best is to wait your turn as they come through. Northland Forge jigs with a single hook tipped with the minnows taking the best perch. Pimples and Hayleys tipped with red spikes, good choices, just have to deal with more of the smaller perch.

Bluegill: Good
Nice gills of 71/2" to 81/2" with a few over 9" around cabbage flats of 8 to 12 ft. Mostly working into the weeds to pull fish up and out. Some very nice suspended gills are being found along with the crappies and the perch.

Walleye:Good- Fair
Still some decent action for mid-January. Lack of snow on the ice may be contributing. Live bait continues to be the best choice as all species but especially walleyes seem to be a bit finicky this past week. Top bragging rights go to Sawyer of Winneconne Wisconsin with a beautiful,
predusk 28 3/4" monster. Congratulations Sawyer.

Northern Pike: Good-Fair
Surprisingly not a lot of larger fish from the reports that we gathered here this week. some decent action on eaters of 22" to 27" on Big shiners and Suckers. Most of them have been related to weeds of 8 to 14 ft.

Largemouth Bass: Fair
As in "Fairweather ice fish"! Typically when temps get below 20° we don't see as much activity from largemouth still a few of them up to 17" were reported over the weekend.

White Fish: Fair
Not much on the whitefish front. Should get better as travel conditions improve.

Despite all of this great ice for access and travel, still be cautious of ice heaves. The rainbow flowage, willow flowage, fence lake and north twin which has a 3-ft heave are bodies of water where you need to watch carefully.
Moving forward it looks like a great ice season. 2 ft plus of ice and lots of access. People with permanent shacks are starting to pull out the extensions already and creepers are still a good idea with such little snow on the ice.

Not a lot of anglers out Sunday through Tuesday with dangerously cold temperatures but that should change coming Wednesday Big shout out to the three schools and four teams that competed in the Minocqua Madness on Saturday. Teams from Winneconne Slinger and Wausaukee hit the ice and stuck it out catching lots of fish in six of the seven categories there were no smallmouth for the day. Lots of fish, great competition and a great bunch of young anglers. The WIFA organization has done a great job of getting these young anglers out on the ice and introducing them to the sport of ice fishing whenever you can support the WIFA organization to help support our wonderful sport.

The trails just a few minutes north of us have opened for the season! Trails are still in early season riding condition!
Have fun and be safe snowmobilers!

The Vilas County snowmobile trail system, including all state-funded and club-funded trails, will open for the season at 8am Friday, January 17.

Please note that trails are in early-season riding conditions, please watch your speed and stay to the right. The current snow base is not very deep, and the trail base is ice, so use caution when entering corners, accelerating, and braking. With low snow conditions, it’s important that riders stay on marked trails, routes, and lake crossings—off-trail riding is trespassing and could result in closure or loss of trails and fines for snowmobilers who do not stay on marked trails.

Thank you to the snowmobile clubs of Vilas County for their many hours of hard work to get the trails ready for the season. Club maps are available at many area businesses, and the free Map It Vilas County trails app also includes information about the county’s snowmobile trails.

Stay safe and ride right!
