Hi everyone,
Slow day for fishing today. I thought it would be good with the weather change. The temps. went up and the barometer went down. Had a light south wind and snow flurries all day, but the Walleyes were not real aggressive. Only caught one walleye and a couple small perch. Had to really work them to get them to even chase.
Used jigging raps and a small jig with wax worms and minnow heads. It took the small jig to catch anything. I had 5 flags on the tip ups, but they all were dropped after they pulled out a bunch of line. I would watch the spindle spin, and when I thought it was time, I would yank to set the hook, but nothing all 5 times. Had fathead minnows on the tip ups. I wanted to scale down thinking it would help. It helped with more flags, but they just aren't aggressive.
tomorrow it is going to be a lot warmer and they are even calling for rain. I drove my truck out today, something I don't like to do. Tomorrow I'm taking my ATV to see if I can get out there. The snow level is high and the slush is starting to mount. I'll have to fish where I can instead of where I want, but I have some ideas of where to go.
