Lake Winnibigoshish area.
We stayed and went out of High Banks Resort. They have roads plowed out 2.5 miles. Our Walleye fishing was tough but did catch a ton of Perch site fishing( The kids loved site fishing). We seen 1- 23.5" eye caught and we lost one at the hole. We set up in 23-25 foot of water. We had 22-25 inches of ice with 4-8 inches of snow and some drifts.With a 4 wheel drive truck you can get off the road and find a mid lake hump.
On the smaller lakes we found 13-16 inches of ice and the pan fishing was much better for us. We caught Crappies a few Gill and Perch. We looked for the deepest water id the basin of the lake. 26-29 foot was the magic area. We drilled multiple hoes inside the Clam 1660 Mag house and some all around the outside so the kids could fish inside and out. Hole hopping worked the best. Catch one move to the next hole and get another one.
You had to tease the fish a bit to get them to bite. I was using a #10 1/32 oz Gold Dingle Drop XL with 5 maggots and a #10 3/64 oz Red Glow drop Jig tipped with a 1" Pink Glow Maki Mino.
When you get a chance make sure you take a kid fishing. Look at the smiles on the faces of them all.
