Well, It was time for Jiffy to hit the hardwater again. Now that exams are done it is time for fishing. Went to the Big Lake today at 7:30 am, must have looked funny with our Monster eight foot ramps sticking out of the truck. There was no way that any crack was getting in our way and if there would have been a crack that posed a problem for us or any of the other anglers we would have made it crossable
. Drove on at Warner and could not cross the crack so decided to try Chalet before breaking out the ramps. There is a very nice place to cross now out from Chalet (600 yards, approximetley). I don't know how wide that crack will be by tommorow with those Bomber winds (80 km's). Very hard to find the Walleye's today. Moved around lots and just couldn't find them. Set up the Eskimo in one spot and set a Tip-Up with a Gold jig and live minnow out side while I kept warm in the shack. 30 minutes later... Ding...Ding...Ding. There goes the Tip-Up bell, 20 seconds later a nice healthy 21 Inch Walleye slid onto the ice (First Tip-Up Walleye)
. We moved after that thinking that the Walleye's were going towards the Shallows for the evening feed. Fished for an hour and decided to head for home. Packed in at 4:30 pm with two Walleye (21" and a 10"). Very slow. The Vexilar only picked up about 10 fish all day... SLOW. It will also be extension tome within days! Also there is a HUGE carck near the mouth. Some guys were out on the other side of the Crack but we didn't make it out that far. Fished as far as 1 mile from the mouth to 3/4 of mile from Chalet (and everywhere in between) Hey it was still great to get out again. May be going out on Monday to Lake Manitoba, nothing is confirmed yet but it is time to do some Perch'n. Good Luck to all who head out this weekend.
