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!!

The last couple of days’ weather changes gave some fishermen in the right spot the opportunity to catch some nice Walleye. I received numerous pictures, which I will post on our Facebook page, of 19″- 26″ Walleye and Northern Pike.  Most of the deeper water areas had a lot of small Walleye, and I pulled most of our rentals in shallow to get away with fishermen pulling up small Walleye that their bladders popped.  Lots of small Walleye have been killed that way this season.  From some reports I heard this morning, fishermen overnight in 18 ft or less are seeing larger fish on their ‘live scopes”.

We got another 3-5″ of snow overnight, and fortunately, there hasn’t been much wind. With cloudy skies and fresh snow, visibility is not so good, but that will change this afternoon. We cleaned off all the main roads this morning and are working on driveways throughout the day for those out there. This week looks colder, with the possibility of more snow next weekend (?)

Yesterday, I established the road to our Tullibee Hole on the North side of the Banana Reef for those who want to see if they are in there yet.  So far, the few who have tried haven’t had too much luck.

Keep a Tight Line!

Overnight, we received about 2″ of snow, and this morning, the WNW wind picked up, and visibility went to almost zero for a while. Those out overnight reported when the winds shifted. Fishermen reported action, but mostly all smalls. Some fishermen set up for Northen Pike C/R, a 35″ plus, and lost five decoy-sized suckers to something big that ran almost 100 feet and didn’t stop.

We will be out this afternoon prepping rentals for the weekend. After the winds die overnight, we will be out clearing roads, getting customers into their houses, and getting ready for the next snow, which is expected to arrive Friday night into Saturday morning. The next one is not supposed to have strong winds, so that will be a plus.

Permanent customers must call 24 hours in advance for driveways, etc.  We are only going to plow into those that we know are coming. Wheelhouse customers need to call in advance also and get on our list. They should also have a set of tire chains to put on just in case as it will be difficult to move around out there after Friday night’s snow. Plowed spots will be available upon request when you call to get on the list. We will pick the spots, and they will cost $25.00 extra.

It’s going to be a busy weekend out there
