going out this afternoon to fish for perch. then, as evening comes, going to move to target some walleye? I caught good numbers of perch about where the point on my arrow is in about 14 feet of water. I’ll be walking out from the boat launch that is circled. where would you go if you wanted to target walleye in the evening. will be staying probably 30-45 minutes after dark. time will vary depending on cloud cover. it’s going to be warm today.

Colonial point looks kinda sexy to me.

I was just typing the same thing. Lots of sexy edges along the flat on the point.
The point left of your arrow where shallow starts to break in to deep water. Set a tip up in 10 ft of water and then your shack a little deeper

there is a river that flows into the bay over that way as well.

Looking at a map of the entire lake, there is great structure all over the lake with in walking distance of beaches and other accesses.

If there is flowing water then the spot I chose could be better then I thought. As long as the ice conditions are safe obviously. But there is 3 spots on that map I would try right away. Then there is about 5 more that would be on my radar. Last night my son and I went out and caught walleyes In 9 to 11 ft of water at dark. Bite window was 5 fish in a hour and then nothing.
This was last night’s fresh fish dinner. Chucked up walleye and a few crappies. I tried taking a better pic but 2 other plates had already disappeared so I had to rush

nice catch Bcat. that looks de lish us! lol
started out in the flat about where my arrow ended. nothing but dinks. I did see a handful of real nice perch and 1 walleye that was probably 24+. crystal clear water. nothing big was biting though. then around 430, moved out to the breaks at colonial point. more dinks. then, they disappeared and didn’t mark another fish before we left about 45 minutes after dark. I bet i can catch smaller fish than anybody. 
the polaris ranger was a nice surprise to have for transportation. I really wanted to thank the neighbor with a nice fish fry. next time!
went back to maple bay today. caught about 42. brought 11 home for dinner. was a good day.

Works great for smaller perch, highly recommend trying it.
i did’t see any bones come out. Are the bones still left in the meat?
Where would you fish?
Somewhere in the blue part.

got a good mess yesterday. 13.5 ft of water. same spot i’ve been fishing. was mostly site fishing as my flasher power port broke. Was a lot easier sight fishing as i could keep away from the littles when the bigs rolled in. Caught fish on a red trebble with a minnow and a tungsten jig with a wax worm. when they wanted the bait, they were very aggressive. learned a lot sight fishing without the flasher. it’s also how i caught the crayfish as i could see them moving on the bottom. they would inch closer to the bait when i was pounding the bottom or just leaving the minnow laying on the bottom.
