Well I took the wheel house for its first voyage to the pond. We left Albertville at 0430 on Sat 01-09. Got set up and met another friend on the mud. Sat am bit was slow, so I I went and hole hopping on the Jug, Rocket, and the Boot with not much to show. Back to the wheel house I go to check on my neighbor and his 5 year old. They to had a slow day but his 5 year old was able to ice his first walleye through the ice on camera.
The evening bite was a little better and we were able to keep 5 out of the 15 or so that we caught. Most were under 10 inches. After the evening bite was over the wheel house was moved to a different spot and set up on top of the flat in 24′.
Woke up the next morning with several fish on the graph but couldnt get them to bite. Another buddy showed up at 0800 and I then started popping holes off the edge out to 30-31′. Well there they were. We fished outside most the day hole hopping and popping holes to stay on them. We finished the day with about 30-35 being caught and 1 shy of a four man limit with the biggest being 19.5 inches and alot of 10 inchers being caught. We also caught 4 jumbos and 5 white fish. Most of our fish came off of jigging raps with a minnow head.
So all and all it was a great weekend with the new house.
