Maxi

Lakes been singing nonstop all evening

[hounds]

Its not the singing that bothers me, it the shaking.  Not sure it will do that until its all Frozen.

Any issues with ice on the public launch west side of lake.... Gonna hit it up Thursday and Friday night after work if anyone wants to go out...

[Big Buck]

Any word on gill bite? Gonna try tomorrow afternoon.

So when I was packing up to leave last night there was something pretty interesting on the end of my tipup.....

This was the first time I've ever seen one in person! Idk 10 or 12 inches long. Caught it on a tipup set 11.5ft in 12.5fow

That's pretty neat ! did you set it on the ice and watch it walk back to the whole? The first time I caught one it was about the same size but had big red Gill that hung out its sides are the head I set it on the ground about 20 feet from the water and it walked all the way back.I once had someone tell me that the Michigan record on one of those is like 18 in

It's a walking Turd!  The Necturus maculosus. I've seen other pics from past post of the mudpuppy being caught from Maxi. Every now and then if you have a underwater camera you will see them come through. Salamanders are cool creatures.

Got out last Friday fished from 9am till 5pm, 1 dink perch and 1 rockbass. Did have something attack my camera and seconds after that a walleye came swimming in from the cams direction, only eye I seen. I've had smally's attack my cam at Maxy but this walleye is a first 4me.

Ice was 9" and solid around the launch edge. Wanted to go back out Sat mourn but to windy. With the rain and warm temps I'm est. Culver is probably done, anyone check it out Sunday?

Im hoping to check it out monday or tuesday if i dont hear of anything. Running arronds today, a lot of stuff looks as if it didnt get beat uo too bad. Some open edges and that, to be normal of course. We certainly didnt get as much rain as they were calling for.

Deffinetly on the last few days anyways, but maybe i can squeeze one or 2 more trips in yet. Just maybe. 😁

The walleye bite was for about 20 min, right at dark. All small but a bunch of them.
