Capitalizing on the early ice bite can be some of the best walleye fishing for the winter season on Mille Lacs. Safe ice measuring between 5-7 inches was found on the North End of the lake, allowing me to safely fish some of the more subtle shoreline points, as well as some the adjacent midwater humps and rockpiles. What proved most successful was drilling a spread of holes across varying depths starting on the top of the point or hump and working out across their dropoffs into deeper water. The fish would cruise these points consistently throughout the day into the evening. Calling in the more aggressive feeding fish with an Ultra Light Jigging Rap or Rapala Shad proved successful. For the less aggressive feeding fish, switching to a slower fall rate spoon, such as the VMC Tingler Spoon or VMC Tumbler Spoon proved the be the ticket in turning them from lookers into eaters.

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!

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.
