Safer Ice and Walleyes on the bite!
Well, good news is that Mother Nature started to cooperate and we got some cold weather. This has made most of the St. Louis open to foot travel. There's still some shipping activity going on so use caution when out in the harbor and lower river areas. The walleye bite has been great, lake fish are already here in the river and hungry. Mornings and evening like usual are the key to getting into a good numbers of fish. Size has been good, most fish are from 15"-24" with a few bigger females making their way on the ice. (have to download pic I'll have some soon) As for the Pouts most of them have moved out of the spawning areas and are on their way back out to the lake. We'll pick up a few here and there but my guiding focus has now switched to the walleyes.
Jigs like rattl'in flyers, buckshot rattle spoons and jigging raps tipped with a minnow head have been taking fish. The dead rods also have been getting some action.
If anyone is interested I have openings in the mornings and evenings, I have clam thermal shacks, vexliars, heaters, rods, and bait for two people for $150.

More Lake walleyes arriving
Walleyes have been in the river since we've had good ice to get out on. Most nights/mornings we are about to ice 4-8 walleyes per person. Like anything some days are better and some are worst. The past few days, marking lots of fish on the vexilars and hummingbirds. Just having a tough time getting them to eat. If your marking fish you’re in the right spot, stick it out and keep changing jigs to see what they want.
As you can see in the photos, big fish seem to be showing up during daylight hours before (evening) or after(morning) primetime. As February goes on we'll see more and more aggressive fish showing up as they start to stage before this spring’s spawn. Same as before jigging raps, buckshot rattle spoons...pretty much anything that will be heavy enough to cut current tipped with a minnow head will get bit. As for colors, red glow, white, rainbow trout patterns, and gold all have been good.
