I have a place at Lake Thunderhead in Northern Missouri. The lake is approximately 1000 acres with rip rap and fallen timber. Max depth is 35ft. What are your tactics for ice out walleye? As far as that goes, what would you do the rest of the season? I have no problem with the bass, crappie, and catfish, but the walleye get the best of me.
Thanks.
Start where the river comes in and if you don’t find them there look for rip rap and gravel that will have some current from wind and waves. Fish should be staging near those areas getting ready for the spawn. If the river is already in the mid-40s they’ll be up river. After the spawn they’ll be on the first break in the lake, especially if it has weeds.
In or around spawning areas.
I should have added that there it not a river that runs into it. It is a small creek and where it comes in it is really silting in. Current flow is minimal.
