Still, anglers aren’t always able to find or use live bait. Please stop by The Musky Shop or contact us if you need any information or fishing supplies as it truly would be our honor to serve you.As I explained in a recent post on the best live bait for trout, live bait is the most effective approach to catching fish in the majority of situations. We have a very good selection of fresh live bait in good cold well water as well as waxies, spikes, and ice fishing tackle. The slush has pretty well gone away however we have a bit of a warm front on the way so there may begin to be a bit more slush out there but hopefully not too bad. Ice travel isn't too bad as far as snow cover and slush. The ice conditions have improved quite a bit here in Oneida county. A lot of pike has been being caught using tipups and tipdowns on Northern Pike minnows and Large Goldens. The Rainbow and Willow Flowages have an abundance of pike as well as great fishing for panfish and Walleyes too. Northern Pike fishing has been very good on most lakes. The Eyes can be finicky sometimes as one day they want shiners and the next day they want a sucker so it's never a bad idea to take some of both when you get out. Walleye Suckers, Medium and Large Goldens have been very effective. As well as good reports of Walleyes on the weed edges in that 12'-18' range. There are good reports of Crappies being caught over mud flats in 10'-12'. Sometimes it's necessary to tip your spoon or jig with a wax worm, spike or minnow head but there again, not always necessary. Though it's always a good idea to take some Wax Worms, Red Spikes and White Spikes along with when you hit the ice as fish’s moods can change throughout the day or evening. The bite was hot enough that they didn't even tip the spoons with anything. Tyler, Casey, and Ethan all caught a big batch of really nice Crappies jigging Cast Master spoons. Tipdowns and tipups are working great as well as jigging for most species. Most of the Walleyes have been caught using Medium and Large Golden Shiners and Walleye Suckers. Many customers have been stopping at the shop for live bait and fishing supplies have also been catching a lot of fish. Some of our younger staff members Tyler, Casey, and Ethan have been doing a lot of Ice fishing as well as staff member and guide Fred Palermo.
We have had a few really cold days that slowed things down a bit but that cold blast is gone now and warmer winter temps are on the way. We definitely would not be here without you and it is our honor to serve you. We sure appreciate each one of you for your business and support. From all of us at The Musky Shop we hope this finds you well and all of you are having a great winter.
