And not Whitetails either. Walleye! The buckshot spoons done their thing again. Heres the pics.

First - Check the ice. 4.5" Good to go!

All set.

Here we go.

And again.

Looking like a good walleye night.

Ooh theres another!

And the biggest one to finish off the night!

That one was the biggest around 22-23", All the previous pics were over 18" and went back.

And me with my limit of keepers I caught in between the nicer ones 12-17.5", also threw back one 10 incher.

Not a bad first evening of hardwater walleye fishing for the season.

Nice eyes

What size and color for the buckshot if you dont mind me asking..Also did you use any bait with the rattlespoons..

mr niceguy · « **Reply #7 on:** Nov 23, 2007, 07:49 PM »

Same question as above... Went to Wholesale sports today to grab some buckshot spoons but all they had were the 1/4oz. Seemed kinda small to me, but never used em before...

Master Angler · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 23, 2007, 07:59 PM »

Some were caught on a 1/8 oz super-glo perch, and some on a 1/4 orange glow (not sure on their name for it). Tipped with minnow tails, heads, and walleye eyes. I like the 1/4 oz, I start with the 1/8 oz up till they really turn on, then switch, the 1/4 oz and bigger seems to work better than the smaller sizes when their active. I use 3/8 oz occasionally too.

CrappieBuster · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 24, 2007, 12:06 PM »

Some very nice northern walleyes there. Nice ice too!

What area of the lake were you fishing?

North End, somewhere in between the power lines and the Togo Bridge.

Went out again this evening. Took my cousin to catch a few. 5 keepers, one dink, and one oversize, as well as one pike about 4lbs.

He likes the vex.

And he caught the biggest one! A chunky 21 incher.

A young Master Angler...great to see him enjoying the outing.

Great post MA..lovely eyes...er...Walleyes that is.

Thanks for the pics 8)

Those spoons are my favorite through the ice. I was in Cabelas last weekend and select sizes were on sale...Snagged about 15 of them.

Great Job!!! Keep the awesome reports coming!!

big walleye · « **Reply #22 on:** Nov 24, 2007, 10:54 PM »

Hey I know that spot

. Another great report. Nice to see you fishing with family members. Great job!!!

firemb · « **Reply #23 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 10:23 AM »

North End, somewhere in between the power lines and the Togo Bridge.

Don't worry,not looking for your hot spot

just heard that the ice was a little inconsistent on the lake right now. 8)

Master Angler · « **Reply #24 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 10:32 AM »

Yep, the north end is the first to freeze up, therefore thinner ice the farther down the lake you go.

tip-uptwo · « **Reply #25 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 10:51 AM »

I wish I could beam myself there right now

Skiff · « **Reply #26 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 01:45 PM »

Beauties, all of them! WTG, MasterAngler, I hope you've set the tone for the rest of us, but you've got a good head start!

duck doctor · « **Reply #27 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 02:01 PM »

I am jelous as I would imagine the rest of us are! Nice fish and nice to see the kids are getting out now too!

Pete379 · « **Reply #28 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 02:20 PM »

Congrats Master Angler

Looks like a good time. Great that kids have a chance to get out also.

Water Wolf · « **Reply #29 on:** Nov 25, 2007, 02:25 PM »

Nice walleyes Master Angler. You and your fishing buddy had a good one.

I also like the buckshot rattlen spoons, the way they are, and as a dropper.
I use them mostly for pike, but the walleye like them also.
