With the above-freezing temps and some rain coming this weekend, we will limit what is going out on the ice for the next few days until the weather starts cooling down.  Single axle wheelhouses pulled by a vehicle under 5000 curb weight, Single vehicles with portables under 5000lb curb weight, and single vehicles under 5000 curb weight to permanents that are out there now and rentals.

The next 3-4 days of above freezing temperatures at night and day mean that any cracks that develop from shifting ice will not freeze and heal. As it warms, the ice will move; that is a given. For that reason, I will not be pulling any more permanents out until it turns colder. By Monday night/Tuesday, temperatures will be dropping below freezing, and I will resume pulling.

The bite has been mainly at night for the slot Walleyes. Daytime Perch are almost everywhere and are mostly small, but you can get some 10″ plus in the catch.

Hoping all had a Merry Christmas!
