Well ice fishing in the IGL has been interesting this year to say the least. We have relatively little good ice anywhere. I was going to go this morning with friend Rick, we decided wind gusting to 40 MPH and 9 degree temps was a little much. We are going to try again tomorrow.
I took a drive around this afternoon and Big Spirit is wide open where guys were fishing a few days ago. (Buffalo Run, Marble Beach) The bays on West Okoboji are fishable.
I have had pretty good fishing on Smith's Bay and Little Emerson. Small red Diamond Head jig and waxy or Fat Boy and waxy. Angler's Bay on Big Spirit has been hit or miss for me, few weeds this year and the water has become murky.
With this cold weather we should finally get some good ice when and if the wind goes down and if we don't get a bunch of snow cover to insulate it.
