Contrary to popular demand, Big Walleyes don’t bite 24 hours a day. Oh sure as anglers in an immediate gratification society, we’d prefer to drop down and pull up the tanks; Still reality sets in for all of us when we see those big fish blowing up our Marcum. This was the tale on Saturday morning. On Friday we put the heat to the fish, but now only a morning later the fish shut off. Great weather, stable pressure……….
As a guide you always want fish to be on the edge; I reference “Edge” as about ready to commit suicide for your paying customers. Again this isn’t the reality of the ice fishing arena. What I can say is IF your on the big fish you sometimes need to tip your hat to them. THEY WILL BITE!! Just might not be that morning. The great thing about that is they WILL BE HUNGRY often times if you can stay on them in the evening.
Case in point as we Jacked the Big girls Saturday afternoon!!
