I didn't see a thread for Eagle on here anywhere so I'm starting one. This report is a little late sorry. I fished Eagle 3 days last week(wed 1/2 a day, Thurs, and Sat.) Wednesday I caught a nice mix of fairly nice gills, perch and crappies along with two very nice pike at 30 & 36in. Pannies were caught mainly on gill pills gobbed with spikes fishing 7 fow about 2-3ft off the bottom although several nice crappies fell victim to a black shrimpo 2ft below the ice. Thursday was not as good period. I caught one decent pike that went about 30in. The panfish bite however was much slower and smaller. I pulled my tip ups halfway through the day and went in search of a better panfish bite. I found better fish in 5-6ft of water on the bottom. The bite was slower but the fish were bigger. I ended Thursday with 10 big perch on the ice and some nice gills in 8 inch range caught and released. My wife and I went out on Saturday and did very well. I set out four tip ups with jumbo shiners on them and within 20 minutes we had a flag resulting in pike in the hight 20's. Before I could reset that trap flag no. 2 went up the fish proved to be too much for my 40lb flouro leader. Flags went up through out the day resulting in 6 northerns and 2 nice largemouth. We caught plenty of decent gills and a few nice crappies, mostly on pills and spikes, but everything went back. My wife did get one bonus pike on a jig stick and 2lb that made her day.
Stay on the dry side!
