Great day on the lake yesterday. Bandits blue chrome 20/20 at 1.1 to 1.3 was the ticket to 15 nice walleye. We kept 12 and released the others. When the bite slowed, I set the auto pilot to s-turns and it triggered bites. 5 star day on the lake!![]()

Awesome. Thank you for the report!
Nice job, I wished I lived close enough to go out when the weather is nice. You are truly blessed
The dump was on fire Sunday. My son and I got a quick limit, and continued to fish for fun. P10's 30/20 with 3 oz were hot on my side, color didnt matter, but perch color had a slight lead. Bandits on my boys side, 80, 100, 120 back with 100 leading. Blue chrome was the best bandit. 1.2 mph. The weather was absolutely georgous!
Thanks for the posts.Amazing you can open water fish in mid February due to our mild winter this year.
Ohiofinlander - If I didn’t have a commitment on Sunday, we would have stayed. The forecast looked amazing!
Not too many days like that in February. Thankfully we haven't seen much floating debris out there. Probably due to lack of ice flows in the rivers I would think.
Yeah Eyecrazy, I remember when you bought your Hewescraft.Having a boat you can trailor with an enclosed cabin is a great feature to have in the cold.
Hey Eyezcrazy,
We just traded up our Lund Tyee for a Hewescraft hoping to extend our season too.
We are finishing up the rigging now and hope to get out there soon.
