Smackem33 I’m not sure what to tell you but you and your group of buddies and you are either greenhorns or doing something wrong!! I’m fishing north end also as almost always for last 40 + years out of barnacles and if your not catching at least 20-30 walleyes a weekend out of a house of 2 guys something very wrong sorry to say even after the warm up 3 weeks ago and past years I’ve had 30-84 walleye weekends in Feb. The lake is in great shape I miss the jumbo perch tullibee and even eelpout fishing we used to have!!! I don’t agree with the slot size thou too many plump female great egg layers allowed to keep once again our DNR is wrong about a lot of things or should I say there governing body we all know who that is and it’s sooo sad!!!
