I have not had much luck with walleyes this winter. I did catch one saturday close to the dam on byllesby near (cannon falls). 37' deep in the big mud flats, ...more staight out from the dam. Marked tons of fish but the bite was not there! Caught another one further away from the dam about a month ago. Those are the only two walleyes for me this winter. I was at cannon lake near fairbault quite a bit earlier this winter and caught tons of decent size perch and now I hear they are catching walleyes on anything you put down. Hard to fish because it's so big and flat (and shallow). Not much to key on to start at cannon. Just have to move around til you find the schools of fish. It's boom or bust there. Good luck!
Good to know. Let me know how your next trip to orchard goes
Been there once this year. Caught an upper 20'' northern jigging a shad rap in 13' of water just out from fishing pier off the west park. Some sunnies ...more and small perch too. Friends of mine had caught some walleyes in December in that general area. A few were over 20".
Yeah it wasn't easy moving around with all the wind. Would have liked to move around a lot more but wind forced me to just hunker down. At least I was able to ...more catch a real nice northen by hunkering down. Will definitely give it another try and hopefully the weather corporates next time. You ever give Marion a try?
You're pretty tuff to out exploring a new place on a day like today! Atleast you caught something. Nothing but very small crappies for me yesterday and they ...more really were fussy
I fishes orchard this morning. Wind was blowing so hard was hard to get the spots I wanted to go so I had to tuck in just south of the point. Was able to catch a ...more really nice northen, decent size perch, and small crappie. Marked quite a few fish and saw a bunch of perch, crappies, and few blue gills with my Aqua vu. Nothing I threw down the hole seemed to make them want to bite though
I went to orchard yesterday afternoon and evening.......worst day this year! Very SLOW. How did you do?
My best day ever was 25 over 12" . I kept 5 and put all the rest back so I know there are still some big ones there
