Hey, wheres the best place to catch eyes on the King? What do you like to use...tip-ups or jigs. Not looking for your honey holes or GPS or anything!!  Ha...I love this thread.

I've found that, most walleye fisherman are ice fishing for them in open water.. they hover on top of the water and ring the doorbell and they fly right up...any lure works.. just look for open water.

Around 8" maybe a little more, tough to tell exactly how much with the drifts. Snow is heavier than the last storm so it didn't pile up so high.

The biggest LG perch I've seen was caught on a crayfish on a bass charter, and it looked like a walleye in the water, close to 16".

I have to say that I have envied the Ice Gods on this site for many years.  I have enjoyed all the banter, stories and tips.  I guess most would consider me a lurker, but I find that I do not have the time to fish and fish effectively.  Therefore...not really much to add.  There was a time when my kids were young, we were out there all the time....but such as life and its circumstances will be....my free time has slowly disapeared.  This year is a bit different though.  I have MADE TIME and it is paying off with bigger and more consistant catches of perch.  I have attempted the laker thing you all are hyping up and haven't quite figured it out.  Had a few losses at the hole...but I have a rare two day stretch open on Sunday and Monday where I can hunt and figure out a pattern at last.  Thanks to all you regulars who have convinced me to move around.  I have been a staunch tip up man for 20 years and I have been converted.  Stay safe

Glad to hear you're making time to get out and having success. Need to keep moving though, that makes all the difference.

Why do you blur out the backgrounds? I use them to find spots to fish!

[bird21s]

That's whatcha call a white out!!!  The snow blurred out the lodge in the background.

When drilling holes today the water really came up and out of the hole and surrounded the area pretty heavily.. is this because of the load of snow on top pushing the buoyant ice down and the water being pushed up through the hole? Just wondering, I've never really seen that. It was kind of amazing watching water basically run on top of the snow and eventually form a little water stream.


Steve

[JJ]

Yes, from the weight of the snow. Was wondering if you got out today.

              OH, wonderful.

[dollartrifecta]

Is it worth fishing if your area will flood?

[bigfish1212]

I was out today too, and water is pushing up probably two inches. Just don't clean away the snow and its not too bad, there is enough snow to soak up a lot of the water.

[step2jimi]

greeeeeeat. slushy day tomorrow. At least my buddies coming with a snowmobile so I wont have to walk out.

That's gonna be the trick. More you move near the hole. the wetter it gets.

[icefanatic]

How much snow you guys get.  Just wondering if I should waste my time with the wheeler tomorrow?

[bigfish1212]

Don't bother with a wheeler there was at least 10 inches of heavy snow everywhere I was today and it is going to get slushy. Had my sled out and when I got within 200 yards of a bunch of docks with bubblers also had 3-4 inches of slush. No slush yet once you get away from shore.

Want to get out Sunday, but would like to know if I can get out with my ATV........anyone who's out at Vets please let me know what you think.

[dollartrifecta]

[P Merrill]

Good news for wheeler users!

[dollartrifecta]

Yea but still tough walking.  We didnt make it far.  In 27 ft of water.   

Tried katskill bay earlier on some new access, went thru in about 4 ft of water. Not a good start to day
