Shagawa Lake
Ely Ice Fishing
Had a few hours to go ice fishing on Tuesday evening on Shagawa Lake. As usual, Rob, my son in-law out fished me ...again. But then how do you compete against a pro?
Caught some small, "you throw em back walleyes." We used crappie jigs tipped with a minnow. Bite was really light and close to the bottom.
The ice was sufficient to drive on where we fished. Can't attest to any other part of the lake for ice thickness. Everyone still needs to be careful with all the warm weather we are having.
Met John, another angler and his son while out on the ice. He reported a few bigger walleyes have been caught around the evening hours. Sounded like enough for a meal or two at best.
