Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Goin out to hawkeye either tomorrow or sunday with Bonesey, never fished the lake before, summer or winter. Wondering if anyone can give a few helpful hints or tips, what to use, depth to hit, points? bays? color? size of minnows if using them, aggressive jigging, slow jigging, just let it sit? anything that can help will be much appreciated.

Guest crispy Report post Posted January 16, 2009 There's lots of slush on hawkeye. Ice was about 10-12" 2 weeks ago. Depends on where you're going and what you want to catch. I fish hawkeye a lot in the summer and know the lake pretty good. Went out there for the first time in the winter about 2 weeks ago, didn't fish much as there was about 12" of slush and most of the time was spent getting the sled out of the slush. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nick C Report post Posted January 16, 2009 The cold temps this past week might have helped to reduce the slush a little. Good luck. Nick C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah due to a lack of a sled all my ice fishing is done on foot, so i dont have to worry about getting stuck, hopefully the slush is all hardened up and i can walk alright. is the fishing alright close to shore? or should we focus more on the main lake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
