Hello from Mort at Mort's Dock & RV Campground. Here's what is happening with fishing in my neck of the woods!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
MONDAY AM FEBRUARY 6 2012
We went from fog "thick as pea soup" on
Thursday & Friday to sunny & 40 degrees
on Sunday. Supposed to be more normal as
far as temps go this week but little to
no new snow then warming to 30's again
by next weekend...I'll take it! The bite
on walleye overall was slower with some
limits & nice numbers coming in here &
there. Perch saved the day for some of
the fishermen with quite a few keeper
size being caught. We didn't see much on
the crappie but some pike action reported.
Most of the "eyes" and perch coming from
the 15' mud flats on jigs w/minnow. HAVE
A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
THURSDAY PM FEBRUARY 2 2012
We are in the midst of another warm
spell. 30 degrees or warmer the next
few days or longer with little snow
in the forecast. Hopefully the nice
conditions will make for some good
fishing action also. The average bite
has been slower this week with a few
good reports in the mix. The 14-15'
depths are still probably best over-
all and still quite a few perch going
in those areas also. Road and ice
conditions are very good right now
with offroad travel still an option
in most places. Whether you are coming
to the lake or staying home for the
big game HAVE A GREAT SUPER BOWL WEEK-
END AND BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
MONDAY AM JANUARY 30 2012
Saturday started out snowy and windy as
we got another two inches of the white
stuff, Sunday, of course, turned calm
and sunny. The overall walleye action
was fairly slow but we did have a few
put together nice numbers and limits.
The 14-15' depths is still where most
of the better action has been. Jigging
with minnows or minnow heads is still
doing better than set lines, thus the
night bite on rattle reels has not been
hot for too many fishermen. Sounds like
mild temps are back this week, have a
good one!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
FRIDAY PM JANUARY 27 2012
Weathermen!!?? Yesterday they said 1-2" of
snow, by this am 2-4", by 9am 6-10" and by
11am back to 3-5". We got about 2"!! Oh well.
While the overall fishing this week was not
great we keep getting some good action here
and there. There is some evening bite in 8-10'
but the best overall is still 14-15' depths.
Right now just under 2 miles out is as good as
anywhere. Jigging is your best bet as the dead
sticks and rattle reels at night have not been
going that well. Today we had some shacks do
quite well in 15' during the day with morns &
eves still solid for most. FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
MONDAY JANUARY 23 2012
We made it through the -40 below wind
chills to warm up, then snow about 4 to
5 inches Sunday into this am. One can
still travel off road w/houses but the
rough ice is a little harder to see now.
The fishing over the weekend was somewhat
slow on average but there were some who
hit pretty good walleye action. Quite a
few keeper perch being caught, just the
occaisional crappie and some big pike
hitting also. The 14 to 15' depths best
by day & night but some decent morning &
evening action showing up in 8 to 10'.
A big thanks to some of our customers
from cental MN, Marshall, Mankato and
other points south that spent part of the
winter with us. They now figure to have
fishable ice at home...be safe out there!
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
FRIDAY AM JANUARY 20 2012
The temps fell to around -20 below the
last couple nights with wind chills near
-40 below. The fishing though seemed to
pick up a little with some nice numbers
of walleye and perch coming in this week.
A few crappie in the mix and some pike
action- although quite scatterred. The
14-15' depths are doing best day and at
night. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND & STAY SAFE!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
TUESDAY JANUARY 17 2012
We are to get some winter like weather
the next few days, not a lot of snow
but temps near -20 below. Then a warm
up by the weekend! Fishing was spotty
over the past weekend some doing very
well with the average on the slower
side. The better action still seems to
be in 13 to 15 plus feet with jigs or
set lines both catching fish. Travel
is very good as trucks and wheelhouses
can go just about everywhere off of our
access right now. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
WEDNESDAY EVE JANUARY 11 2012
It looks like we are going to get a couple
days of winter like days before it warms
back up a bit. The walleye bite may not be
like December but limits of nice fish are
still coming off with some fishermen. Some
very large pike being caught and we have
seen more big crappie the last week than
most all of last winter. All in all the ice
fishing on Upper Redlake is one of the best
things going...and our ice is some of the
best and safest in the state right now!!!!
HAVE A GREAT MLK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
MONDAY JANUARY 9 2012
The mild, snowless conditions continue up
north here. The ice however is good with
17 to 20" most places. While the overall
walleye bite has slowed from early season
there are still quite a few fishermen able
to put together some nice numbers of fish.
Jigging or set lines are both working during
the day and night. A few crappie are showing
up in 14 to 16' depths and some nice pike
also with a 47" the largest reported over the
weekend. HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!

* * * *


UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
FRIDAY AM JANUARY 6 2012
It is like March in January with 45 degrees
yesterday and mid-thirties today. The ice
though is sound with 16-18" most areas. The
walleye bite has been somewhat spotty with
some struggling to get enough for a meal as
other houses may catch 40 or more over a
day. We are fishing 10-13' and have moved
out to 14-15' depths where the bite is maybe
a bit more consistent. Trucks w/houses are
going most areas now....FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
THURSDAY PM JANUARY 5 2012
What a great March day...oh thats right it
is only the first week of January. About 45
degrees today but the ice did not suffer at
all, just a little wet on top--not bad at all.
The walleye bite has been spotty the last few
days with just so-so action the average. We
have been fishing in 12-13' depths but are
now pushing out to 14-15' waters where the
bite is a little stronger. Jigs and bare hook
w/minnow both producing fish. Trucks w/houses
are going most all depths...have a great week-
end-----FISH ON!!!!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
MONDAY JANUARY 2 2012
The New Year came in with 40 mph winds
so thankfully we did not get much snow
ahead of that. It was definately a first
for me to not put a plow on any truck
until New Year's eve so it's pretty hard
to complain about our weather this winter.
Fishing overall has been good with some
having very good action while others have
found a slower bite. The action has been
from 10 to 13 feet on & off during the day
and some decent night bite. While jigging
is still bringing in walleyes, dead sticks
and rattle reels are starting to produce
good numbers. Ice conditions keep improving
so the ability to spread out should help.
HAPPY 2012 to everyone!!!!
