Went to Prior yesterday for a few hours to see what was going on. Went to my favorite walleye point, just out from the Sandy Beach on the north side. Talked to a few guys out there that never marked a fish. Worked it a couple of hours, marked one fish……Then moved on.
Worked my way over to the “big city” of houses. Talked to a couple of guys working SW of the little island out there. They had the same results as I did………no fish.
Went over to the city, drilled a couple of holes and caught a bunch of decent sunnies on waxies. They were really light biters. Couldn’t jig them or they would spit it out, couldn’t run a bobber, or they would spit it out……..So, got down by the hole in the shack and watched them through the ice. As soon as they would suck in the waxie, I would set the hook. If you didn’t, they would spit it out as soon as they sucked it in.
The day seemed to be really slow for alot of folks. Seen a bunch of tip ups for pike, but never saw a flag.
The ice is about 12″, and people were driving all over the lake in their trucks.
