Hey 24/7, you going tonight? I think we spoke at the launch last Friday, we'll have an atv stop by and say hi if you're there.

Icehole, Wally is finicky and skittish. I'm not the world's best walleye fisherman by any means but here's a couple of thoughts:
Pick a spot where there is some structure, the fish hunt in the rocks at night, sometimes very shallow.
Get your holes drilled before sunset to avoid spooking the fish.
Turn off all of your lights and don't walk around a lot, they are real spooky. Don't run right up to a flag, that's a good way to get a chew and screw, they hear you coming and drop the bait. Sneak up on the tip-up.
Set your bait 6"-12" off  the bottom, wally is usually a bottom hugger.

Good call passing on Gardner Saturday night. Flurry of flags at sundown, no keepers, then nada till 10. Budweiser and bs with other groups saved the day. Several other groups picked up at the same time, all said the same thing. Most people I've seen on the ice there this year. Did see a 22 inch pickerel caught at about 7, haven't seen one caught at night before.
