The Walleye bite has picked up some in the last couple of days, with the brief warm-up and barometer change. Still the best times are early morning until daybreak and the late afternoon until dusk.Keeper Perch are starting to be caught in shallower basins, but still no sign of larger Perch in the Tullibee Hole yet. That time is coming I’m sure,

Friday evening we recieved another 4″ of snow and we were fortunate that we haven’t recieved and strong winds. Sunday it is supposed to pick up to 15mph from the WNW, so there might be some drifting. We plowed all the roads today so that should minimize that.

Wheelhouses in most cases if they don’t have chains will most likely need a plowed spot from here on out.  Call to get on the list before arriving and we can have one ready for you. Permanets will need get up here and get their houses ready next weekend so they can be pulled to shore and settle their bill for services.

I will be keeping roads open for Tullibee, Perch and Northern Pike after next weekend for as long as the weather permits and enough customers make it worth while.

Keep a Tight Line!

We moved some more rentals to some new shallow water spots over the last two days. The Walleye are increasingly showing up there in the late afternoon/early evening and during daybreak hours.  During the day, some nicer-sized perch also appear in the catch.  Some of our longtime wheelhouse customers were out this week in the Gravel Bars we go to and mostly found small Walleye everywhere they went. The colder weather seemed to shut the bite down overnight deep and shallow. But with the warmer weather coming a little this weekend and again towards the end of next week, I’m hoping for a good finish out there. We still have three rentals left available for this weekend, so give us a call if interested.

Permanent customers need to settle their accounts before the end of next weekend as the houses will be coming off starting February 24th. Wheelhouses that want to stay later into March or store for the summer will need to be parked in two specific areas in our storage lot by February 23rd. Check with the office as to where before then. If they are not, we will move the wheels down or up. The storage area must be clear for the permanent houses coming off the lake.

Wheelhouses are coming this weekend; if they are off-roading and don’t want a plowed spot, they should have a set of chains. With the possible snow coming Friday/Friday night along with the snow we already have out there might come in handy.  Call to get on the weekend wheelhouse list so we get an idea whos coming up.

Keep a Tight Line!

The Walleye bite has been mainly at dusk hours and early morning at sunrise for the last couple of days.  Over the weekend many went out in the mud areas in front of us looking for Perch.  When they found the schools with cameras the greater majority of them were small, with very few schools with larger Perch.  Some fishermen caught Perch in the 10-12″ range in shallower gravel basin areas.

With the cold weather for the next couple of days, it will be quiet out there. So, the few that are out should have some good full-moon fishing.

We have a few rentals left for the weekend so call if you would like one.  Wheelhouses should contact to get on the weekend list if they are coming, and it’s recommended to bring chains to put on if you are “off-roading,” or if you get on the list and want a spot, we will get one ready for you for an extra $25.00.

Permanent customers will receive a statement in the mail this week to settle their accounts before the end of the season on February 23rd. And houses will be coming off the lake starting February 24th.  If the Perch and Northern Pike fishing improves like it usually does later in the month, I will keep roads open to the Tullibee Hole for Perch and Tullibee and to the Northern Pike areas we typically go to for as long as the weather cooperates and fishermen show up to make it worth the while.

Keep a Tight Line!!
