The eyes are gathering in concentration making ready for their annual spawn which will begin a short time after ice out. That is why the area around the reefs and Islands are loaded with walleyes at this time. They spawn on the reefs and adjoining lake floor. They stay close to their spawning area as it gets closer to the magic time and temp for the party to begin.
