Damn walleye bite has been spotty lately, you can count on some action right around sunset and then it seemed they'd go comatose... good news is, I see a couple 40 degree days in the forecast, that means panfishing! For me anyway, there's nothing better than being able to work out in the open in comfort searching for panfish. I watch the weather forecasts closely in the winter for those 36-38 degree warm spells. I KNOW what I'll be fishing for those days...

We've had some real nice evenings lately, the walters just seem to be focused on about a 1 hour window at sunset. I've found shiners to produce the most action when set close to bottom around the 12ft mark off breaklines, weed edges, etc.

Awesome sunset the other night, a pleasure just to be out for that one...
