April Ice Fishing, Here We Come!!
Relatively shallow again, and we stayed and grinded on a Perch spot from sunup until 11, we lost count very quickly of how many Perch and Walleyes we had coming through to check out lures out, probably 1 of 10 either were caught or we missed, and there were A LOT of those!!
Less than 20 feet of water, buckshots!
I don’t think that we will get much, maybe a week at best, but it is still ice fishing in April!! Actually, we have made a couple of inches the last 4-5 days and the ice is remaining strong. A few new cracks that have made a few areas troublesome but nothing a little drilling to check and we are off.
Now, the forecast for the next 2 weeks really isnt too bad if you are an ice fisherman, let’s take a look:
Thur. 37/23
Fri. 30/19
Sat. 38/22
Sun. 39/22
Mon. 42/26
Tue. 51/29
Wed. 59/31
Thur. 51/26
Fri. 49/27
Sat. 47/30
Sun. 49/32
Mon. 50/31
Tue. 49/31
Wed. 48/31
The rea ice degradation shouldn’t really take effect until Wednesday and with the low’s getting below freezing every night except for next Sunday, we could actually be getting 2 more weeks of fishing in. If you are an Ice Phanatic like we are, that is good, good news!!
The snows can hang out in South Dakota a little bit longer, we have Perch to chase!!
Good Luck out there!
