Deep Lake is located in Lake County, Illinois and we have heard some mixed reviews on this body of water for this current ice fishing season. There has been a lot of talk about a major weed kill and that the fish have been hard to find and pattern. Fished the lake on Saturday morning and was lucky to find a nice pocket of weeds with some access to some deeper water. The deeper water was actually giving up some of the smaller fish caught that morning. Once the switch was made to the shallows I ended up with some bigger gills and a nice 10 inch crappie.
Switched gears in the afternoon and headed to Silver Lake located in Kenosha County, Wisconsin. Looked for some night bite crappie and was able to manage a couple dandy crappies after dark. Fished in 15 feet of water straight out from the public launch. For the most part it was a light bite all day and fish seemed more eager to take spikes then the waxies.
