Points
Slow day on Watab today. Was out from 11 am -5 pm. No bites until around 2:30. A few really big sunnies and a couple big crappies interspersed. No trout caught today, but did catch 2 small pike on tip ups (using suckers). Was primarily jigging a gold flutter spoon and other color variations tipped with a wax worm. Also had just a small clam jig tipped with a wax worm, but they seemed to like the flutter spoon better. Caught fish in 12-18 feet of water. Will definitely be getting out for a morning bite this week to see if the time of day changes the bite. An extremely clear lake, spear fishermen everywhere, and in the shack you can see to the bottom sitting in 20 feet of water. Sitting on one spot and letting fish roll in worked out much better than trying to hole-hop.

Much better day out on Big Watab today. Was out from 1 pm - 7 pm. Still relatively slow, mainly fishing for crappies. But got on a decent sunny bite and ended up keeping 8 sunnies and 4 crappies. No crappies caught till 5 pm. Caught a few bass and small pike as well. Mainly in 17 feet of water on main lake points and humps. Caught all on different colored clam flutter spoons tipped with either a crappie minnow or wax worm. Using a medium light st. Croix mojo ice rod with a 13 fishing thermo ice fishing reel.
