I have caught some nice walleyes in the past… biggest 27″. In the spring time there are alot of nice eater size fish to be had! lots of fun! Just haven’t been able to find them in the winter, caught one in six feet of water on a tip up. I might try there in the morning. I dont have a portable at the moment because of all my gear being stolen last season. I will just be up early and im going to drill a bunch of holes in shallow water and give it a try.
