Reef
Wonderbread jigs/spoons are producing strikes from slot fish and good eaters. Normally this time of year, you'll find them in the mud flats but the warmer weather has them cruising to reefs at 25-29' during twilight hours. Aggressive jigging pounding the bottom will fill your limit in no time.

With the lake of ice I went out in Waukan Bay and set up on a reef probably shallower then everyone else. 13.5fow. There were a lot of decent perch around. Caught them on jigs with a fathead minnow. Then I set up a dead stick with 8lb test line. A plain hook and a shiner. Using a okuma bait feeder reel and a circle tackle dead meat rod.

Plenty of clear ice for ATVs, one skid house was out on the lake. We saw a lot more activity from walleye and northerns on reaction baits in the hour around sundown. Caught a nice 26" walleye at about 5:15pm and a 24" pike about 15 mins prior.

Went out of Garrison for some prime time walleyes. Set up the portable shack in 15 feet on the edge of the sand. Drilled out a bunch of holes between 11 and 16 feet. The deeper holes were the only producers this day. Bouncing bottom to draw them in then a slow down jig to get them to commit. Set line never got touched.

Use livescope to find the hard weed edge by rock. Set lines produced more than jigging. Check out these items and you will be money!

Water was murky from ice making so we drew them in with rattling raps and drop shots. Aggressive bite at ~9’ and snagged every one that came. Many throw backs as you can only keep one over 17”. Had a blast on the morning bite and left with limits of walleye (4/ea) and some 15” crappie by noon. We heard night bite suffered as the weekend warriors continued to arrive.

Walleyes and Saugers are still biting below the dam. The dam was shut down so the current was slow. At sunrise Saugers were found in 14-16 feet below the dam and then out to 20-23 feet. Fishing slowed down after 9:00 but would still bite on the jig and fathead.

I was catching a lot of crappies in 35 feet of water. I was fortunate enough for this GIANT 28 inch walleye to bite. It was an absolute blast spending the weekend up in Osakis. I 10/10 recommend!
