Hottest ice fishing LAKE in Iowa 2023!

[@caseymeyer5773]

Heading out this weekend. Can't wait. Catch and Cook!!!

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I’ll be trying to get out Saturday and Sunday hopefully. Still trying to get over a sinus infection again as well.

[@Pescadora515]

Great video Trevor! That was quite a haul of bluegill!

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

After dividing them up between the three of us I should have enough to hold me over till I start catching them again in the late spring. Bluegill is actually one of my favorite fish to eat.

When u ice fish 12 mile do u enter on the ice on the main boat ramp. going to ice fish it this year.

[@edbrown3047]

Sweet video..fishing was awesome and breakfast looked killer..

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

That’s going to be our destination next year! I know your down for camping.

[@edbrown3047]

@Trevor Randles Outdoors Iowa oh yeah definitely down for camping

[@hbdd1824]

I love this lake, i live just a few miles from it and once its froze over i dont go anywhere else.

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I try to make it down more often but usually I’m going north most of the season because of all the warm spells that we keep getting. I’d like to rent a cabin again some year at 3 mile and stay a whole weekend down there with the family.

Save some Gills for the rest of us! Awesome!

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

They had a really abundant year of gills but as much as it got hit this season I bet they changed the numbers some.

[@scottmcley5111]

Nice work man!

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

Thank you! After dividing up the fillets it will be about 3 good fish fry’s here soon for the the family.

Here I thought, when I saw the title, that you went to Prarie Rose. 😄

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@scottmcley5111 I meant to get out there this year but I’ve ran out of time for trips. I do have Monday free if the river is still in rough shape. It broke loose all the ice yesterday and is flowing big time right now.

Great action, that other guy Sucks , 😂

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

Thank you! He was very new at ice fishing so we were trying to help him out. Everybody’s got to start somewhere.

[@SupernovaRemodeling]

I fish this lake sometimes, was just wondering about ice fishing areas on it that are any good?

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

In the standing timber is usually good 13-25fow I also target the old creek channel as well. I highly recommend getting something like the navionics app and that way you can see the approximate depths and lake contours. It’s a very useful tool for finding structures and fish.

[@justinmckinney4650]

How thick was the ice

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

When we got off the ice the evening of feb 7 it was 6-7” but it was honeycombed pretty bad.

[@justinmckinney4650]

@@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa would like to try next year any tips would be great where to start we tried clear lake two weeks ago and camped out there it had 24 inches but he bite was slow

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@justinmckinney4650 clear lake was really rough this year but it should pick up with late season coming fast. As far as picking apart a lake flooded timber areas can be good and creek channels. If you can get a navionics app and see the contours of the lake it can be very beneficial on finding areas to target.

[@anglingwitharlieandfamily2036]

Is Jacob just there for moral support, didn't see him catch any in that pile

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

He caught quite a few just stayed away from the camera somehow when he did it. Especially the second day on a quick jump on the ice where we chased a giant school of crappies and I didn’t have my camera on me.
