Walleye are on fire   If you are not sure where to drive stay off     full of springs

How about giving advice instead of telling others just to stay off? lets be more encouraging

Sorry I just saw this post,  If you are looking for posts on this lake contact me since our cabin is on the north side of the lake or what I would suggest is posting on the Perham/Ottertail County Forum.  I check it regularly and so does a lot of people and can get you answers in a more timely and better fashion the responses you got.  Granted Parmer did state it best Gene's Bait Shop in Perham is a great source of information.  Just be careful of the two rivers flowing into the lake and one flowing out for thinner ice.

If you have wind, trolling cranks up shallow will get you eyes, pike and crappies.   Darn nice crappies by the way.

Otherwise, rigging or rigging the outside weededge has been good when I've fished it in the past.

If you ask this question in the Ottertail area forum you might will get a better response.

Sorry for the delay in responses guys.  

As IceHawk stated don't put the ice gear away for the walleyes.  Seeing a lot of guys doing well with them on big pine.

The guys are cruising in front of our cabin at evening up shallow in that 5-9 feet of water trolling plugs.  Also hearing a lot of guys doing well with Leeches.  I personally have only seen one so far in my boat but I think my boat is cursed for walleyes.  Neighbor has caught a few but he's working hard and only getting 2-3 at a trip.  Have heard guys finding the schools of walleyes where they will catch 20+ fish but can't keep anything because it's in the slot.

The lake frustrates me personally for the walleyes.

Crappies and panfish have started really picking up and we've been targeting them as of lately.

      Ice-Out 2025

      By CigarGuy · Posted

      Went out this evening for a couple hours. Three of us only caught 4 crappies, small perch and a small bass. Ice is getting a little soft, but still 22" and tight to the shore where we were. Going out later tomorrow, caught more a dusk last time out.

      Little confused. If the cradle proves the power source and it shuts off when on it.  How does it turn on first to even shut off?  Is it turning on then shutting right off?  Has he tried to power it up with just the plan power cord and not the cradle, if it stays on, then it maybe some short in the cradle possibly.

      Good Morning:   Trying to help a friend out as I mentioned to him the expertise on this site.   He bought a Garmin Echo Map last year for his 1800 Fisherman on Pokegama Lake. He claims he has power all the way up to the cradle, but when on the cradle, the system turns off. He's planning on driving the boat down to the cities from Pokegama for service on the Garmin, but thought I would ask some of you experts if there is anything he should try before doing so.    Again, I am sure it's a long shot, but anyone experience anything similar?

      Glad you’re getting results!   I’d throw a new set of sparks in there for next season too.  Weak sparks have given people plenty of headaches.   I just had a deal where a friends wheeler just died while he was loading it on a trailer.  Wouldn’t restart for anything.  He and I did a lot of checks and trials to get it running but couldn’t.  I finally took it to my local small engine guy.  He repeated all the diagnostics we did, plus some, and couldn’t get it started.   Based on his experience, he decided to try a new set (mind you they did have spark outside the cylinder).  It fired right up.  Pretty rare for BOTH of them to go bad but it’s been running great ever since.

      If you have a Mity-vac, make sure to pressure test the needle and seat before putting the carb back together. That will often solve leak/flooding issues (but I don't think that's your issue). It's a different type of fuel leak.
