Walleyes are mainly a night bite every time we’re here. First flash bite is 5-6pm then a lull until 9 or 10pm. Sometimes quiet and sometimes busy all night to the point of pulling lines in the wee hours of the morning so you can sleep a little. Then, 95% done by 9am. You hope to get some perch later morning and early afternoon. That’s WITHOUT moving. A person can improve by getting more mobile of course. We don’t spend much time at the lodge but my wife will have a drink while I clean fish. I think the bloodies are still a thing for most from how many get ordered. She said she’s not a fan but she’s particular about her bloodies. It gets to be a busy place! Seems like it would fun to hang out if fishing wasn’t staring me in the face! We usually don’t have an issue getting our walleye limit with bonus jumbos, pout and pike. We’ve seen all that so far in 24 hours but slower than we’re used to and most of our walleyes are either too small to keep or in the 18-23 protected slot. About equal numbers that way. But we can’t get to our best spot due to a crack so I don’t know if we could be doing better or not. Marking fish but today they seemed spooky. I’m not the only one who commented on that either. Turn off the lights, and keep your noise down. -

I was out doing a little scouting on some lakes I had never been on and thought. I wonder when Rick G and Eyeguy will be coming by with a report? 😄 -

Hopefully everyone is doing well. I haven't had a whole lot of free time this winter... Between house projects and work projects I have been plenty busy. Have managed to get out a few times this winter now. Ice conditions are definitely better than last winter. Finding 12-15 on the lakes I have been on around home. Fishing has been very good on some local lakes and pretty quiet on others. The body of water I was on yesterday, we found fish hanging on a deep portion of a back bay. -

Just getting settled down now. The kid and her family plus a buddy and his family came with. Had to get everyone set up and get a couple pizzas into em. 19 inches of ice. We drove till we came to crack that had softer ice about 13 inches. Veered off and spread out on some structure. One little walleye so far. One missed. Half dozen marked. Good crust of snow about 2-3 inches on the east side. Getting out toward the main body of water the snow patches and bare ice are about 50/50. We have about 1/2 - 3/4 inch of snow here. I’m able to move around without cleats for the set up but need to pay attention. I’d be comfortable by myself but I’m still used to falling down, so… 😉 -
