    I've been hearing of an awesome walleye bite to start the year.

    Be sure to let us know how you do! Looks like you may need to wait to get it out with the temps rising this weekend. If you have space for an extra guy sometime this winter my PM box is open ;)

    Yeah we were hoping to go this weekend but I think it'll be a doe patrol/find some perch weekend around here instead.

    Sounds good, I'll let ya know!

    I can't wait to try this here in Texas. It might be another 50,000 years before the next ice age though but someone will be ready down here.

    I am going to try spearing this year, I am going to have to empty my pockets before I go in the dark house. It is amazing how in a small ice shanty you drop anything and it ends up falling thru a hole.

    We can't get a winter here in WY. It's killing me. I redid a reel last week in preparation, but the ice here was thin and is melting. Today was 52 degrees.

    I'm jonesing to get out on the ice!

    I'm jealous. Our ice was just getting started then we got a warm up and is all but gone. I need to get a few buddies and make a trip up there this year, to a real walleye lake.

    Damn... Nice fish!

    The walleye bite here on leech is not good. We took to a bay and ended up with 15 nice keeper sunfish.

    Hey Chi,

    When you're on your feet, let's hit the ice together! I only have one part-time ice fishing friend in town.

    Somehow a few 9" got thrown in there but I would venture to say the average was right around 11.5".

    Just had a fish fry last night with this springs perch we got from Leech... Think it's time to get after them again!
