    David usually has some at Dreamcatchers also. Tell them what you want as the are or stay near the bottom of his tank that way you get the bigger ones.

    As a side note,,

    I always figured Chubs would work good on the walleyes, I have used them for Pike and SmallMouth.. The creeks and rivers that feed the lake are full of them.. I made me some minnow traps and brought up some to the big lake last Fall. There was a lot of boats trolling the water South and West of Green Is. Last Winter between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I anchored though, because love jigging spoons over a flasher. Next best thing to ice fishing. Me and my partner Big Al Layman, each jigged with one pole, and used a slip cork with a chubb on another about 18 ft.. Bam, Bam, Bam,. Soon we just kept our slip cork poles in.. It was some of the best action I ever had on the lake, and Chubs are easy to get if you have a ditch you an get to. (Large Sheepies will take em too and probably any other toothy fish in the water) Crazy how big some of them sheepies are

    Never use minnows for jigging here. Stopped about 4 years ago as fishing buddies were kicking my butt not using them while I was. By not using them , you can jig more aggrisive because your not worried about losing the minnow. My catch rate went up during this period as well.
