With the recent tragedies concerning individuals falling through the ice, my family and I have been erring on the side of caution concerning ice fishing. The local bait shop even suggests sticking to bays and smaller bodies of water, but I noticed last week, only a few days after Gull Lake had frozen over, someone had a portable out. I just don't see the point. I love fresh fish, but it isn't worth the risk. Be safe out on the ice, and good luck fishing.

BRAINERD/NISSWA AREA Although you’ll find skim ice on parts of the big lakes, the lakes being fished now have 4 to 8 inches of ice. It just depends on the area. Look for suspended crappies over the deep holes on Round Lake, North Long, and Nisswa Lake. Sucker minnows are turning northern pike in the 7- to 15-foot weeds of Cullen Lake, Pelican Lake, and North Long. Walleye action is best with spoons or shiner minnows at North Long, Round, and Lake Edwards in 15 to 22 feet.
