The bite overnight was very good for those out there in our rentals and those “ice camping” in hubs.  Some rentals had as many as 20 C/R Walleye a house with some slots in the mix.  The shallower reefs had the best fishing in depths ranging from 14-18′ next to shallower water on the drop-offs with bottom changes. Daytime activity is slower with Perch mixed in.  Today many portable/ATV fishermen are venturing out to deeper so we will see how it goes.

We have a 6″ wide crack that is open about 2.5 miles out towards the Gravel Bars so we are not recommending travel past it as it is open and not freezing very well with these temps. There are many other Reefs with deep water around them inside of it in our area so there is really no need to go past it. Today with the overcast temps are remaining a little more consistent helping the situation some. We will be continuing with ATV access for portables, ATV and SxS’s pulling small wheelhouses, and shuttling customer’s and their gear to our rentals. Rentals will be required to have an ATV with them in case someone has to get to shore in an emergency.

We will continue with this thru the next week until we see a change. It’s beginning to look in the forecasts that in the next 7-10 days we might see some more seasonable temps to finish out the season.

Keep a Tight Line!
