The bite yesterday changed slightly from before the snow.  Mid-day slot and over-slot walleyes were caught in 16-24 feet of water.  Perch action remained steady, but mostly smalls. The early dusk bite was good on the shallow drop-offs and deeper rock transitions, but it was quiet overnight. The overnight bite on the Gravel seemed better, but many smalls were also reported there.

Ice conditions are fine. We expect 2-4 inches of snow overnight and 10-20 mph winds gusting to 30 in the overnight and morning, so it will be a whiteout at times. Those leaving will be glad they marked a trail on their GPS to make it easier to get in on the roads. If they didn’t, they might want to do it today before dark.

We had a few reserved spots on the wheelhouse list that were no-shows, so we will be changing some prices for those who reserve spots in the future. This will appear on the website and in the report on Monday. It will be worth checking out.

4:00pm.   We are offficially in a winter weather advisory.  We are to be receiving 2″-4″ of snow and overnight the wind is supposed to switch to the N-NW @10-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph. There could be condsiderable drifting around the houses and it is important to park your wheelhouse so tongue and truck will be downwind facing the SE.  Those that don’t position their house and truck that way will wish they did come morning. Because if they don’t, they will be shoveling to get themselves out.  We are going around to rentals informing them on parking out of the wind also.  2-4 inches of snow isn’t much but can really make some drifts around houses. We will be out escorting rentals off as necessary Sunday, but wheelhouses will be on their own until the wind dies sometime Sunday evening.
