We are still in early ice, we can't drive on the lakes right now, I like to find a area that has a access point close to some deep water and close to a weed line. The Walleyes are eating perch, sunfish, crappies and other minnows in the weeds. Sun up and sun set are the best times to be out but midday can be just as good. Drill out a area and find the weed line and use your electronics to set up just into the weeds on the edge and drop your spoon down and bang in on the bottom a few time and reel up a foot or two and start working it. I like to use braid as a main line and a mono leader. use a swivel to attach the mono to the braid and use a snap at the spoon or tie direct. One tip is to use the temp feature on your Aqua Vu to find warmer water under the ice, sometimes there are warm slicks of water under the ice. Good Luck!
