Mississippi, anybody out yet

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Was out there last weekend and yesterday as well. Accessed the lake near Grasshopper Point. Lots of ice in the south end of the lake 12-14 inches. About a dozen huts out there and people have been driving quads and snowmobiles out there. Less ice if you're fishing close to where the river flows in about 7-8 inches.

I got skunked yesterday, but last weekend the wife got a nice 21.5" walleye on a tip-up.

Check this group out Levitch, it's a local kayak anglers association. https://www.kaao.ca/about-us/
Facebook has a group too but it's not so local. https://www.facebook.com/groups/853677074710122/

Had some luck the past two weekends along Craig shore (accessed at the Loon Ln boat launch). One small walleye under the slot, one pike (21"), and around two dozen perch (mostly dinks, but a few keepers around 8").

Hoping to find where the crappie have been hiding on Miss this coming week.
