Sweet day!  I wanna try to ice my fist walleye outa there this year.  Don't want ya to give up any secret spots but any tips on what type of structure to look for em in and what type of bait to use would be great!!!  My thought is around humps and use minnows as well as jiggin' with a perch rap???

Nice!!! I have been out on her about 5 times now, she was slow at first, but was pretty productive Sat and Sun.  Some nice size wally's are coming out this year, good to see a variety of little cigars and big dogs.  Caught a nice Rainbow the other day as well..  Dead sea, whoever came up with that one either does not know how to fish or is fishing the wrong holes, ha ha.

You are on the right track with the humps.  As far as the bait goes I have fished with just about everything on that lake and have found that icicles work the best for eyes and perch.  If you get tired of getting hammered with perch goto large icicles.  There is some nice structure between fishhouse and sinclaires point.  Good luck!!

Thanks Giddy!!!  Is it better to fish the evening into the night?

[GiddyUpNFish]

Depends.... If I want to go for some Trout and Wally's then I am set up for first light.  Typically though I am set up around 10:00 and I fish until 7:00 for the night strike.
