WalleyeTechniqueIce Fishing SpoonsSeasonIceStructureReefDecent fishing this past weekend in 34 feet. Lots of small saugers, but we did manage to catch a couple nice walleyes and a few for a meal. Our 2 throwbacks were a 27 and 20 incher. Any jigs or spoons that glowed worked best.

Trolling shallow rock / sand flats is a proven way to get a couple bites

Just got off LOTW. We were 15 miles out, sitting in 34 fow. Fishing was steady. Tons of small sauger. You’ll have to weed through the sauger, but big walleyes are biting during low light periods. Mix of dead sticks and aggressive jigging spoons. Stick with primarily gold, red/pink and anything that glows. Tipped with a minnow head. Good Luck!
BBAX AdventuresBronze AmbassadorSpeciesWalleyeTechniqueIce Fishing SpoonsSeasonIceStructureReefWonderbread 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.

Drill out your area and drop your Glow Spoon down to the bottom and bounce it on the bottom a few times and pull it up about 2 feet and start jigging. Watch your electronics for fish coming in when they come in keep jigging, you can slow down but don't stop, if they don't hit it reel up slow playing keep away. Good Luck!

BurbotTechniqueIce Fishing Tip-UpsSeasonIceStructureOpen Water/BasinAnnual Lake of the Woods ice fishing trip is always a blast. When staying in a sleeper house on the ice the walleye normally shut off around sun set. Thats when we like to set up tips with with glow spoons tipped with fathead minnow’s for burbot.
