The winds subsided overnight, but the temperature dropped to the upper teens below zero. With what wind we had, the wind chills were in the -30 to -40 range. Either way, it was cold.
Over the weekend, the bite was sporadic. Most had small Perch activity, but more “keeper” Perch were in the mix than last week. Some areas in the evening had a lot of small Walleye action. And some fishermen caught some very nice ones, although few and far between. Some 28″ Walleye were caught in 12′-16′ and some nice ones in 27′-32′ transitions. Many with cameras reported that the Walleyes were there, but it was challenging to get them to bite. With the high barometer and baitfish, the fishermen were fighting an uphill battle.
With the Holiday weekend, many are staying over tonight, and we will see how the bite goes.
