Monday evening those out overnight caught Walleyes, but it was a little slower than normal.  Probably due the high barometer. (?)  During the day yesterday, especially afternoon, was not nice out there.  North winds to 25 mph and dropping temps chase most portable people off early.  We had five rentals out overnight so we will see what they did today.  We did get houses moved despite the weather and will concentrate on getting everything ready for the weekend today.  The “Tullibee road” developed a 4-6 inch wide crack down the middle of it in about a mile stretch. It’s already freezing good but there will be a detour to the west of the road stakes in that area for a couple days.  Ice depth is 24″ so it’s not much of a concern.  It would be really nice to get some snow out there that would stick.  So far everytime it time it snowed, the wind would blow it clean.   If we had some cover, the ice would settle down a little.    Looking forward to a good weekend up here with the milder weather coming.

Yesterday was pretty quiet out there on the lake.  Fishermen that were out there were seeing them on cameras, but not much biting.  Barometer was high and it was cold. We’ll see how they did overnight this am.     We are going to start moving rentals today to some new spots for the weekend and the others that are staying we are going to get out of the snowdrifts by just moving them a little and keeping them on the spot.  Looks like the weather is going to be nice this weekend compared to the last two so I would expect a lot of fishermen showing up. The weather change should help the bite I would think.

Sunday night and yesterday despite the cold the Walleye bite was still there for most, the rentals did fair.  The best report was five caught and three were keepable, but everyone had some action. There were very few portable fishermen due to the cold.  My grandaughter Isabel an I put her Christmas Tree out in the “Tullibee Hole”yesterday.

A tradition her great grandfather Clark Lyback started back in the early sixties.  Back then there was no locaters, GPS’s.  So when he would find the deepest part he would mark it with the family Christmas Tree so fishermen knew where it was when they went out there.  Now it isn’t needed for sure, but we still do it for tradition and for Clark.

We are making ice now with the cold, think about putting on your auger extension soon.

Keep a Tight Line!
