First Ice on the Mississippi Backwaters

Show Date: December 21, 2024

Location: Mississippi River, La Crosse, Wisconsin

Guide: Vince Moldenhauer [(414) 791 5534 | greatriveroutdoorsllc.com]

We’re on a very unique adventure in the backwaters of the Mississippi River out of La Crosse Wisconsin.  We were just out with Vince catching perch on open water, and he told us we’d be on the ice very soon after, and now is the time. It’s very early ice, and the only way to get to the spots is using an airboat.  The airboat allows us to get safely to good ice, and enjoy this phenomenal panfish bite. 

We catch perch, bluegills, and crappies; all in one area! What a fun trip!
