Another 7lb - 27 " walleye June 3 2018

Ice is off....in case anyone else was wondering.

Is the ice off?

Going up the long weekend. Any tips for fishing from shore?

Hali spoon tipped with red maggots about 6” from the bottom. Try from 15’-30’ of water.

Anybody have any advice how to catch perch on broomstick thank you in advance

You can clearly drive all the way across. 17 to 20 inches of ice.

Can you drive out onto the ice right now?

Perch.

Tried out the new camera today. Lots of fun. Tons of 3-9 inch perch that I would’ve never caught without it. Don’t care about the size pretty fun. Saw a pike rush through the school of perch which was pretty cool. The people that left all their garbage behind in front of the boat launch was not cool.(grow up!) I know I don’t have to explain or rant , It’s kind of useless but maybe the kids will enjoy fishing for Fish instead of beer cans or pop cans. Maybe it was walleye white master that rushed through ha ha

I have fished the lake for almost 40 years and have yet to catch a walleye or seen one. Good luck some say they are catching them east of the boat launch in about 25 fow.

Has anyone been able to locate the walleye on the ice? Starting to think there are not very many in the lake haven

Lots of nice size Perch

Fished the North side in 40' feet of water and took home our limit between 11%u201D-12%u201D was a nice day. Fished the east yesterday and did the same. After 30 years still don't know were the walleyes are. Good luck everyone.

Was nice to be out even if the bite was next to none at the north end. Any one having any luck at the south end?

Ice Report: 8 in

At Burnstick today and caught lots of perch averaging 9-10%u201D. Ice was 8%u201D thick

Venport. It depends on how thick you are comfortable with being on the ice. It was 4-5 inches thick a week ago but with the warm weather I don't know how the ice would be now. Test before you go out too far.

How long till we can get some shacks out? is the ice fully covering the lake?

Ice was 4-5" by the summer village boat ramp.

BeerBabesBurbot What are you using to get the perch?

Getting lots of perch and pike but nothing of any real size, fun for the kids. No one I've talked to is getting much for walleye it seems. Had a little one on but lost it at the boat.

Went here to fish from shore today, way to shallow and weedy from where the boat launch is.

5lb walleye and a ton of small perch. Couple decent pike as well yesterday.

Any Walleye being caught here?

Been fishing from the village boat ramp the last 2 weekends. Caught four 50cm+ pike on 5 of diamonds.

hows the perch fishing?

Is the ice off the lake yet and how's the fishing ?

Might try to get one last trip in this weekend before the melt. Anyone been out there lately is it still good to walk on. And also how's the fishing been

Arrived at 9am and from 9 to about 10:30am the action was steady for perch. Spent all day and in total landed 30 plus perch. Buddy of mine had a pike on but it snapped his line before he could land it seemed like it was a decent size. Ice conditions are good, some deeper snow on the south side of lake resulting in a couple of trucks getting stuck. Ice is about 15 to 18 inches thick.

How's the pike fishing?

12"-16" just about everywhere on the lake. Driven around the whole lake with no issues. Small red wite worm worked the best.

How much ice is out there

Anything between 6"-10" is good out there. Lots of litter ones before you get any big one. The best time is early morning till about 11am.

How big are the perch getting in this lake ? If anyone could help

Thanks fishnuts!
