Hey guys, I’m heading out to Harriet or Calhoun in a few minutes to hopefully find a walleye night-bite. Was planning on just fishing the deep weed edge. Don’t know much about eyes through the ice out there, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to PM me as I feel these lakes deserve a little discretion of you know what I mean. Tight lines.

Check the ice. I know from experience that those deep lakes take a lot longer to freeze up, and you can go from 7″ to about 2″ really quickly.
Youre right on where you want to set up. Find a good spot on the weedline, especially if you can find some clumps of weeds or some irregularity on it. I’ll even fish in the weeds if I can find a good pocket in there.
The active bite is pretty short after dark, but you can maybe get another 1 later in the night.
Subtle is key, I usually never fish these city lakes with a rattle spoon as its too much for them. Plenty of fish on the deadstick too.
Be careful out there though, as the ice can be pretty inconsistent.
Thanks for the detailed response! I will be careful indeed!
