Today we finished moving rentals, getting ready for the weekend.  Almost all are in new spots. The day out there was windy and cold to say the least, but the weather is going to change a little Friday going into Saturday with some snow and a barometer change so we will see how that works…..

The deeper spots today were pretty quiet as far as the bite. And very few were out there in any depth due to the cold and wind.  This am we had -18 and a strong NW wind, and if you were going to be out it had to be in a house.

The next two days we will be busy getting ready for the weekend and the Lybacks/TWP Tournament. Remember those entered will have to register at our office and sign a waiver BEFORE fishing or you ticket will not be valid for prizes even if you paid.  I’m still undecided where the weigh-in will be. (Either on the lake or back in the field out of the wind.  You will be informed when you register.)  It should be a good time for all that attend and I’m getting excited for it.

Monday was a pretty quiet day out there. Overnight Monday and today the bite improved and especially today.  Fishermen found some nice Perch in the “Bowl” and in a couple other spots. This afternoon on the end of the “Banana” the Walleyes moved in for a few fishermen and from about 3:00 till dark was some pretty good fishing. it’s going to be pretty cold out there Wednesday and with the barometer rising again we will see what happens. Sounds like just before the weekend the weather will change for the better.

I’m keeping with my plan of moving houses shallower for the last Walleye weekend. There are some nice sized Perch there and from what I seen last weekend it is worth the effort. Something is changing out there as it has been a long time since I have seen what is happening now and I’m going to give it a chance. I’m going to keep some rentals out until March 2nd for Perch,Northern Pike and Tullibee.  Some will be shallow for Pike and Perch and some will be out in the “Tullibee Hole” for Perch and Tullibee.  So give us a call…..

Still undecided where we will have the weigh-in station for the TWP Tournament this Saturday.  It’s a toss up from the finish on the ice or having it back on land in the field along the driveway.  I want to make have it be as enjoyable as I can for everyone and if it means getting out of the wind and cold on the ice, we will have it back where the trees block the wind and cold. We plan on having a huge bonfire back there if we need it.

Sunday as fishermen checked in it was pretty obvious that over all it was a slow bite for most.  Some areas had a lot of Perch action, but most were small.  And the same with Walleyes.  Tullibee moved in to areas on the Graveyard and NW to the Banana and that was about the only action in those areas.  Friday, Saturday and Sunday were some of the highest barometer readings of this winter so far.

The bite frustrated some fishermen and others understood why.  And of course the blame always falls back to the resorter. For those that do that, they need to get their own portable or house and find their own spot to fish.  After all the years of doing this and knowing just about every good fishing spot to go to I just smile…….

Final preparation for the Lybacks/TWP Tournament is in the works and I’m hoping the weather will cooperate for next Saturday for ours, the”Perch Extravaganza” at Hunter’s Point, and the “Fishing for Ducks” Tournament sponsored by Ducks Unlimited at Garrison. It would be nice to end the season in a nice weekend.  Ours is full as we only have 150 contestants, but if you want to fish a tournament check the other two.  They have room I’m sure and they have good door prizes also.

Keep a Tight Line
