You watch icebigboy it will come it happened fast here a couple of cold calm nights started the ice then it snowed and got real cold and there was enough ice to walk out pretty spooky going out on first ice! You will like to perch fish once you find a few you can get over top of the whole school and really get some fast action they are more active during daylight so you can fish for walleyes in the early morning then fish for perch all day then fish for walleyes again as it is getting dark Take care.......Think cold!
Icebigboy i find that the best time to fish walleyes is the hour as the sun is coming up and the last hour closer to the last 30 minutes of daylight.The walleyes see very good in the dark and they take advantage of the baitfish when the light conditions are changing. So i target them during those times and i find that the perch and pike are most active during the daylight so i go after them.I usually look for shallow flats in 10-12 feet of water and drill 3 holes fish them for 10-15 minutes if nothings biting move and drill more holes don't get frustrated somedays it takes a bit of moving to find them but once you do it will be fish after fish as fast as you get your bait back down!!! lots of fun!!
