Kabetogama/Namakan Fish & Sports Report 3/1/2010

 

The inland season for Pike and Walleye wrapped up this past weekend with some fanfare. Folks enjoyed the weather and the
 bite, wasn't great, but some nice fish were put on the ice.

Crappie action began to some degree, some nice slabs, but the bite is day to day, minnow with small jig, minnow head,
plain hook, they all worked on the days the bite was on.

Anglers in our area don't need to worry about the Pike-Walleye season, as it continues into Mid-April on the border
lakes, Namakan and Sand Point both qualify.

One of the favorite ways to go now is, one walleye jig rod, one tip-up. Many nice northern
pike taken this time of year.

A reminder to all, the big females caught through the ice now, especially pike are getting ready to spawn soon,
releasing them would be a noble gesture.

Gear up now for crappies or border watering angling and enjoy the approaching spring.

 

Snowmobile trails still very ride able on land, compliment the lake trail system which is still in great shape.

If any snow comes our way soon, your best riding might still be in March.

 

Look forward to seeing you soon....
