Sylvan Lake 2023
jpohlic:
After numerous years at Gull Lake, we put the "Hickie Hut" out on Sylvan Lake this year at Palm Bay. From Jan 5-7 we saw and caught more fish at Sylvan than we saw at Gull all of last year! So far I've only caught a 5" perch but my wife caught a small pike and her first ever burbot - she was so excited. We saw a lot of whitefish on the camera and had numerous nibbles but couldn't hook up on any. Also saw quite a few burbot and numerous pike and perch, but no walleye yet.
Headed back out on Friday night to camp out for the weekend!
Shotgun:
Congrats. Her first burbot had to be fun.
I found the camera usually spooks the whites so you might try keeping it out when chasing the whites. Try 15-25FOW for the walleye

Yeah, BIG congrats man! I recall you thinking of moving it last year. Sounds like the right decision. I hope to see some more pics before or at end of season. Have a great one out there!

Good to know about the camera... what about using some old aquarium plants to camoflage it??? Our shack is right on the very edge of a weed bed/sand flat
Shotgun:
You can actually buy some artificial weeds that you wrap around your camera cable and camera, I used to have some but they seem to have been lost.
Check out the internet you should be able to find some.
