There has been a very good walleye bite and crappie bite going on in the Bayport area. Crappies have been spread out and being caught on crappie/fathead minnow on bobbers and jig caught on #6 sized single hook spoons or small jigs over the deep basin. Walleyes caught on the shoreline breaks (17 to 25 fow)on spoons with half minnow and jigging raps and nils masters with/without minnow heads.
In terms of the number of people out on the ice 35+ degrees will do that. Last weekend with the good weather as you know, like bears to honey when the weather is warm its hard to stay indoors. Plus there was not any NFL football game (SteveO have you recovered yet? sorry Bud, I was actually pulling for your club).
Good luck and have fun,
Turk
