Fishing report for 1-09-2011

Hi everyone,

Got out yesterday afternoon and evening. Despite the High barometer and cold cloudless sky, I was able to catch 4 Walleyes and a bunch of small Perch. Started out jigging a jigging Rap and a spoon tipped with waxxies. Nothing would touch that combo, but There were lots of fish on the Vex They would charge up to the bait, but not touch it. After an hour of that nonsense, I switched to putting minnow heads on the hooks instead of waxxies. That was the ticket. Even though he Perch were all small, they kept hitting that combo. They would charge up and whamo. Lots of fun. None worth keepng, but still a lot of fun. Finally the Walleyes came in and I caught 4 and lost more. All on jigging except one Walleye on the tipup. All the Walleyes were cookie cutters at 13". The tipup Walleye ate a sucker minnow and rest were caught on jigging Raps and minnow heads.

Was on a lake with a 15" size limit, so catching all those small Walleyes looks good for the future. All those small Perch should help those Walleyes grow fast. The Walleye pictured is the size they all were. That Walleye was the only tipup fish. Only one flag all night. Ususually this lake is a good tipup lake. This year however, I've caught most of my Walleyes jigging them.

The ice is in super shape. No problem with mobility on ATV's or snowmobiles. Still wouldn't drive a truck out there yet. Ice is right around 10-12 ". 2" of snow on that, so good traveling. Good luck to anyone going out. Post a report of your fishing. We all would like to hear about it.
