Wind is blowing up there right now. East side of the lake is open. If you get out on the lake and there is large chunks on ice on the west side, you need to be careful that you dont get in a bad place and get pinched off by the floating ice. It can happen really fast and really put you in a bad spot.
The wind can really come up quick up there. Trying to load a boat back on your trailer on the east side with the wind blowing can be tricky if not down right impossible without breaking something or taking on water.
If you make it up and out, troll flatfish and stick baits in 35-55 feet of water, or where your marking fish. Use appropriate speeds for what your trolling. RMT dodgers and squids are also very effective up there this time of year. Use chrome colored flatfish or bright colored also. Rainbow trout stick baits and frog/perch flatfish are always good go to’s up there.
Jigging will be very productive if you can find some fish to get on and drop on them. 3-5” tubes, in white, glow or chartreuse. Tip with a piece of sucker meat or Cisco.
Go prepared to fish either way. Let the fish and weather dictate to you what you need to do.
Good luck and be safe
