Scouting for winter walleyes

[Swedish__Pimple]

What we usually do,is get the boat out in these cold temps and try to locate the walleyes in deep water,this weekend we found a small pod of em,so this will be a good starting point when we get safe Ice,we ended up with 7 eyes and 1 was a keeper,heres Darrin with the walleye,a chunky 20"er

Swedish Pimple,

Are you stickly searching the deep water? Aren't alot of the fish in less than 9 ft. of water right now?

[Swedish__Pimple]

Not where I get em at,these fish ARE DEEP,not alot of suspending fish,every fish weve set a hook in have came from 25' or deeper,Ive seen some dandys come from this deep water in the last week,several over 4 lbs,they are puttin the winter feed bag on,big fat healthy fish TKO,hope this helps,

Nice work on the walleyes Jimmy. Keep tearing them up. Sounds like i will have to look into the deeper water more often.

I just bought an x135.  Haven't got to use it much yet.  Sure are a lot of different settings, it can be overwhelming.

i have the 522c igps. It is a great unti.

What's the first bait you send down to those fish once you locate them this time of year?  Simple jig and minnow?

Something like a man-o-lure in the 1/2 to 3/4 oz size in either gold or silver usually,the wind is how we adjust the size,the more wind,the heavier we go,I try to stay as vertical as I can when doing this,I try not to drag it
