Hub location for an overnighter.

Heading out for the weekend on a favourite walleye lake of mine. Only slept on this lake a few times and changing spots for this trip.

The spot I am heading to has a lot of structure going from 7ft to 40ft with a lot of inside turns and benches. There is a nice funnel leading from 30ft to 7ft. Seems like a clear route for walleye to go from deep to shallow. I am wondering how shallow I should be setting up the shack for the night.

I was thinking 10-15 feet. Not sure this time of year if the walleye are going much shallower in the evening.

I will be chasing the bite during the day but would sure like a bell or two to wake me up at night.

The lake has about 20-22” of ice currently, no snow cover and has about 12-15’ of visibility if that helps. We are coming out of a cold snap and have very warm weather this coming weekend. Also it is a few days before full moon.

I attached an imagine of the spot I am thinking of. The house waypoint is where I was thinking. It’s at 15ft. Set up shallower or that depth and location is good?

Thanks for all the insight

What state you in? How many lines can you fish?

In Alberta. We can use two.

I’m far (very far) from being an expert but I think you have a good plan.

Appreciate it. Will find out in a couple days. It makes sense in my head but we all know, when you think you got them figured out they throw a curveball your way.

Any weeds, rocks, gravel or sand? Do you have an underwater camera to look at bottom composition during the day to find a nice transition area for your overnight stay?

Don’t know prior the bottom composition but will be bringing my camera to check. From what I know about most the the rest of lake is majority sand.

That point looks like a good spot. Seems like you have a good plan. With the camera you can see any structure around it or maybe rock to sand transition.

With clear water and no snow I would think silence will be important.

Good call on the noice. Will have to pay extra attention to it.
