Yesterday, the bite during the day was steady, with small perch and walleye for most of the time. Some fishermen worked in some of the basins in the mud for perch, but not many found the “Jumbos.” There were a couple here and there, but no real numbers. Overnight, the Walleye action was best in shallow water, and at dusk, some spots in the Gravel had some action.

Today, at 11:00 a.m., the snow started, and it is still coming down at 2:00 p.m. It looks like it will mostly be over in the dark with just the winds. The strong SE wind is reducing visibility right now, and I’m sure there will be some drifting, and we will be out plowing out our customers. But the temps are warm, and tomorrow will be in the mid-30s. Monday through Wednesday, more snow is predicted, so we will finally have some snow cover so customers will stick to the established roads. With lots of ice and not much snow this season, wheelhouse fishermen have been going everywhere. Many without regard to resorts that maintain roads to the areas they are fishing. Even to the point where other resorts are plowing into other’s roads. Especially in the Gravel Bars. The last couple of weeks of the season might be a little different with some snow out there.

Keep a Tight Line!
