Risk vs Reward - Part II

are the walleye in on the reefs as soon as the ice is off or is it by water temp?

Many motels at intersection of SR 534 and I-90. Check internet for prices and availability. Some bed and breakfasts are around and The Lodge is a great place to stay and eat (try the walleye nuggets). This weekend is the big grape festival so rooms may be at a premium. As to ice off walleye, I've always found them in the deep water near the reefs until the water temp hits 55. It is a rule on my boat that all spawning females are released immediately after measure and weighing. Other rules on the Holly Lucas are: No Smoking and No Alcohol. Sorry if the rules offend anyone but I run a tight ship and the results speak for themselves. See you on the lake.

I really wish they would make fishing unavailable for half the spawn to allow for a more successful spawn. bluegill in Indiana get destroyed by bed fisherman and we wonder why the size has declined.

It sounds like you were working the same fish I was. I won't know if they are still there until Friday when I talk to some friends and charterboat captains before I go in search of those elusive golden fish. It looks like your presentation was working. Would you care to share? All my approaches have been described in previous posts on this site. See you on the lake and don't forget your passport.
