Fishing Report

December 26, 2012

Average ice is between 12 and 14 inches now.  There are a few vehicles going out, but to be safe, it might be best to wait a couple days.  It is making ice day and night now.  Weather has been cold, but no wind and sunny days.  It really was a great Christmas weekend and northern Minnesota, with the snow on the trees, lookes picture perfect.

In general, we are hearing that fishing has been pretty good.   Perch and northern have been biting along the weed lines in about 12 feet of water.  They are picking up walleye an hour just before dark.

The Cass Lake Fishing Challenge contest will be February 9th this year.  Hope to see alot of you out there.  There are great prizes and fun for all.

Well, it looks like another year is just about over.  Each year seems to go by faster then the last.  We wish you all a happy and safe New Year's Eve weekend.  Hope you will get a chance to come up our direction.  Don't forget to stop in and see what's hoppin'!

Fishing Report

December 18, 2012

We have a good 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground now and the trees are just beautiful.  It really looks like a winter wonderland! 

Ice on most area lakes is averaging 9 to 11 inches.  Guys are using 4 wheelers to go back and forth from their fish houses.  Froggy is busy with his house rentals, shuttling guys back and forth and cleaning fish for them when they come off the lake in the evening.  Guys are picking up a few northern on Cass and Big Wolf.  Sounds like some of the angling houses are getting some perch and walleye also. 

Thanks to everyone who has stopped in at Froggy's and brought us :"goodies" for the Christmas season.  I like to bake, so I try to have a little something at the store to pass out too. 

Froggy's oldest son, Jerimiah, will be coming home on leave from Fort Hood, Texas, on Friday and Ben, Froggy's youngest son, will be celebrating his l6th birthday, on Thursday, so we  have lots to celebrate this Christmas season.

We wish you all a Blessed Holiday!  We will be closing at 4PM on Christmas Eve and will be closed on Christmas Day, so we can spend time together with our family. 

Merry Christmas to all!

Fishing Report

December 11, 2012

It is making ice and we have a couple of inches of snow on the lakes for insulation.  We were lucky and didn't get dumped on like the southern half of the state.

We are hearing good fishing reports coming from Cass and Winnie.  Guys are starting to go out on Pike Bay now and Andrusia.  We will try to keep you posted, on the latest happenings.

See you out on the ice!

Good fishing!

Ice conditions

December 7, 2012

Froggy is putting out spear houses today on Allen's Bay on Cass Lake.  Ice is 4 to 5 inches thick on average.  With ice, you can't ever be completely sure!  We had a group going up to Tamarack Lodge on Winnie too today.  Guys are starting to venture out.  Please use caution.

See you out on the ice!

Good fishing!

Ice Report

December 4, 2012

Wind and warm weather yesterday was not good for the ice.  We woke up to cold temps this morning, so that will really help.  We are hoping for cold weather and less wind.  Will keep you updated and let you  know how ice conditions are in the next couple days.
