Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing Report 3/8/10

WOW!!

A fantastic beautiful sunny weekend, with temperatures approaching 50 degrees. Was it a crappie turn-on? Sure didn't hurt...

Kabetogama and Namakan have been giving up crappies, small schools have been showing up for anglers with consistency.

Wax worms and minnows seem to be the best bait offering with same use of freeze dried and artificial nibbles.

Namakan at this time is a great fishing, big pike being caught thru the ice, some walleye action and of course crappies remain a target for many.

Time of day and depth vary with temperature and clouds if any. Best starting depth 25-32', or pike at 8'-15'.

Remember folks please release the big slabs and big pike for reproduction, which is right around the corner as Spring approaches.

Snowmobilers, keep an eye open at our weather conditions. We need more snow after this weekend for land trails, which have deteriorated rapidly.

Lake trails will remain safe, but again we need snow.
