Only fished ottertail once. Headed up this weekend. Wondering how deep walleyes have been biting? And how thick the ice is? Thanks

On Ottertail 2 weeks ago. Walleye 14 to 16" in 12 - 17 FOW on humps and top of breaks. Best to set up on sand within 5 to 10 ft of weeds. Camera helps finding weed edge. Talked with guy yesterday who said that was still working. Best time 1 hour before dark to 11 PM or so. Morning bite not very good. Got some nice perch on weed edge to 5' in the weeds later in the afternoon.

Ottertail 6/17-6/20. Did well 10 at 18"-19" a few in the 14"-15" range, one 22.5" CAR and 4 nice gills all out of Ottertail. Saturday fish-fry. Fished West break on the saddle, 8-12 FOW where 2 eyes and 4 gills came from. Leaches on Lindy floaters. Moved to breaks on the Balmoral flats again 9-12 FOW best near or on humps again leach on Lindy only thing that worked well. Best bite from 11pm to 1am. May fly hatch kicked us off Friday night about midnight. 30 mph wind 4' swells kept us off Sunday till 8pm. Great weekend with son, grandson, and friend. Between the 4 of us took home 18 eaters. Used Navonics boating app on tablet and Vexilar SonarPhone on iPad to manage boat.

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
