WOW all I can say is what a night.
This outing was going to take place next week. but I got a call on my way home from work lastnight asking me if I could be on the lake in 20 minutes, so with a quick stop at the house and a mad dash to the lake it was on 
.
It took a lot of scouting a little planning and a ton of work but it all paid off in the end. This was one of the best walleye bites I have ever had on Tonka.
The plan was to have my friend Jesse and his wife pre drill all of our holes for the night and then cover them with snow to keep them from refreezing. this was also going to limit the noise we made as we moved with the fish throughout the night as they moved shallow to feed.
I had to work till 5 so they started off the night in 22 fow on a rock and sand transition and the walleyes were there and ready to play. Jesse had the first fish of the night with a nice 22″ walleye then Kari had a few in the 12-14″ range.
Then when I got there around 6pm we moved up the transition to a sharp break and a weed line in 12 fow. It was not long and I had a nice mark on my Marcum and a crushing hit on the green and gold Slender spoon, FISH ON!!! and my Tuned up 36″ Precision was working a nice 25″ eye to the hole.
The weed edge bite lasted about 30-40 minutes and it was off to the next area.
This area is a very large 4-6 foot deep sand flat with patches of good green weeds that were not too thick and half laid over. this is where the scouting came in, we checked the area last weekend when the ice was clear and free of snow. we used a spotlight and a GPS and marked the weed clumps, this gave us a good map of ambush points to work with around the weeds. it also provided proof that the walleyes were in the ares in good numbers.
A key thing that this area has is a good population of small perch and small sunfish, this was also why we chose this area, the walleyes used it like a buffet.
the area was a little slow at first to produce, we would get a small walleye here and there and a few small pike for the first hour, then it was like someone rang the dinner bell and it was game on. we had a fish on every 5 minutes for the next 3 hours, We finished the night with 8 keepers from 15″ to 19″ 
and lost track on how many we got topside. best guess was over 50.
The key to our success was the scouting of the area and to be as quiet as possible and have all our holes pre drilled early in the afternoon 
,
the hot baits were green and gold Slender Spoons and gold #5 Rippin Raps
Jesse took big fish of the night with his 47″ tanker of a musky
One more thing. if you have not tried a #5 Rippin Rap for jigging you need to give it a try, these things will call the fish in from a long way out, but be warned the muskies LOVE them 
Thanks Jesse for getting my Rippin Rap back with your musky
