February 4th, 2016 Ice report and fishing

On February 3rd, we had the Maple Lake fishing derby rescheduled so I have some openings this weekend. Call to reserve a rental. I also have a special day shacks going for half day for $75. I was checking ice n local lakes in the Annandale area and I am finding 9-15 inches of ice depending on the lakes. I do have all fish houses going out at this time.
Today I was out on Big Stone Lake in Ortonville MN setting up a 3 day rental for Jumbo Perch and Walleye. We had to drill lots of holes to stay on top of them. Picture is a few Jumbo Perch I took home. I checked in with the group at 7:30 and they said the bite was great from 5:30-7:00 caught 28 perch between 3 guys! I am hoping they pick up some walleyes tonight also.
