FISHING REPORTS: (for even more information, check out the FORUM page) Lake Gogebic ice left us last Saturday, May 3rd. Lake ice and cool temps have delayed the Walleye spawn. Good numbers of fish are spawning right now. With the May 15th opener quickly approaching, expect good numbers of post spawn fish near shorelines or near the first breakline. Northern Pike and Perch have completed spawning. Smaller erea lakes have seen some early Bluegill action near warming bays. These fish will not be on beds for several weeks yet.

Bear @ Bear's NIne Pines Resort 906-842-3361 <info@lakegogebicarea.com> - Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 19:01:39 (CDT) Lake Gogebic ice travel has improved. Some snow on ice yet but most of the water has drained down. Excellent foot travel, ATV’s and snowmobile are OK, however access at shore is limited in certain area’s. A lot of the shoreline has water between shore and main lake ice, which is safe. Use caution and check locally before heading out. Bear @ Bear's Nine PInes Resort 906-842-3361 <info@lakegogebicarea.com> - Sunday, April 20, 2008 at 20:08:46 (CDT) Lake Gogebic has a good solid 20” min. of good ice! Recent mild temps have turned snow cover to slush. Expect poor travel conditions thru the weekend. 3” to 12” of water and slush on top of the ice depending on the area. Some shoreline area are beginning to open near creeks and rivers. Temps are forecast to cool off, so conditions should improve more by next week. Best of luck! Bear at Bear's Nine Pines Resort 906-842-3361 <info@lakegogebicarea.com> - Thursday, April 17, 2008 at 06:52:37 (CDT) Lake Gogebic ice conditions remain excellent! Recent heavy snows have caused slush below. Snowmobile travel is your only option at this time unless you are walking out. Fishing pressure has been very light, but we expect ice to hold on , so you should have plenty of time to fish those JUMBO PERCH yet this season. Bear @ Bear's Nine PInes Resort 906-842-3361 <info@lakegogebicarea.com> - Saturday, April 12, 2008 at 15:27:39 (CDT) Lake Gogebic fishing pressure has been light, but conditions are excellent!!! The 2 1/2ft of ice is holding tough and travel is good. Recent 8 – 12” of snow will hamper those with ATV’s. Plenty of opportunity for those Jumbo Perch yet before ice out. Panfish action continues to be good on surrounding area lakes. Remember, new license required as of April 1st. Keep Fishin’ Bear @ Bear's Nine Pines Resort 906-842-3361 <info@lakegogebicarea.com> - Thursday, April 03, 2008 at 07:16:53 (CDT) Lake Gogebic Perch bite has slowed a bit. Monday’s front dropped temps with high winds and snow followed. The Lake conditions remain excellent with snowmobile travel being best. ATV’s may see some difficulty due to drifting snow with the high winds. Best of Luck and keep fishin’.
