On Sunday, the men slipped out for a few hours in the morning and boxed another six walleyes. We were home early enough to make a fish feast for Mother’s Day.
Most of the anglers out fishing right now are chasing walleyes or muskies. A few are after fall crappies, and even though we have good fall bass fishing for largemouth and smallmouth, very few anglers seem to take advantage of that bite opportunity.
The areas close to shore get bad first as the ground leeches the heat to the lake and breaks down the ice. The lake will “pull away” from the shoreline, making access to the lake challenging even when the main lake ice can still support some activity.
