Guys… I am a newbie here but a long time reader… I am looking for some advice on Lake Ida… I am going to head up there for the 4th of July weekend to stay with at my wives family cabin. I have been going there for 15 years and always have been limited to bass and bluegill fishing because that is what her family does. I had my own boat finally up there for one weekend last august and did not catch a walleye. I am hoping that it had more to do with the heat and time of year than my abilities. I am not looking for honey holes or anything just a tip or two to pint me in the right direction. I am not sure what the bait of choice is on that lake… Leech, crawler, or maybe it is like my home lake here in Iowa that is all crankbaits. Also, what depth to start with. I have fished a lake in SW Minnesota quite a bit that the only way to catch them is with a leech and a bobber in the Lilly pads and it can be quite good. Maybe that is the approach I need to take up there too. Any tips would be a huge help. Thanks for the help and if you have questions for NW Iowa or the river in SD I will do what I can to help you out.
