A much long overdue trip was needed to the Glacial Lakes of NE South Dakota for our group of friends. Walleyes were on the agenda for Friday afternoon and perch today. Well needless to say we were greeted with some warm Temps, winds, and the Walleyes were chewing. We landed several fish over 25 inches as well as several over 20. We were fishing in a featureless lake/slough in a18 feet of water. These fish were coming in suspended a few feet off and crushing the VMC Tingler spoon tipped with a minnow head. I was lucky enough to catch a 29.75″walleye to ice the day. Awesome start to the trip!. Looking for perch today!

Nice catch Cal!
What is the white gizmo on the ice?
Do the rest of us need one?

Not sure. But I do know he would be disappointed it wasn’t a big gill.

How long you going to hold out before heading back for round #2 with the big eyes?

Not sure what Joel would call it, but guaranteed he’d give it a big hug as soon as it came out the hole.
January 31, 2015 at 3:26 pm #1505310We moved to walleye spot. Did get 30 nice perch today for 4 guys on Waubay, tough fishing but fun. Wind isn’t bad inside a snobear!
