| First walleye of the day. Lindy Slick Jig |
We fished the East Bay of Houghton Lake on Saturday and Sunday. The ice conditions were better then expected after all of the warm weather last week. We found 8 to 9 inches of ice in all of our fishing area this weekend. Saturday we headed out one mile and fished along the West shore of the East Bay in 8 to 10 FOW. The fishing action was ok at best and we ended up hooking two walleyes, one bass, and a load of small pike. The best bite started at 3pm and ended by quarter to five. Both of the walleyes we landed were hooked on Lindy Slick jigs tipped with small blues. Sunday started out slow and cold. At the start of the morning we added about 25 new holes in 10 FOW and setup to do some ice trolling. The first round only produced one small pike and a few weeds. After a break and a quick warm up in the shanty I made a second at pass at10am and found the fish active the bite very light. The net result was three missed fish and two hooked walleyes lost at the hole. We fished hard the rest of the day and monitored our tip ups only to end up hooking a few small pike. I talked to several fishermen on Saturday and Sunday that were fishing closer to Burger King and they reported small pike and a few walleyes. Overall we had a great time enjoying the cold weather and hunting for walleyes with our friends. If the cold weather continues this week we will be moving out of the East Bay and heading West to fish better walleye areas.
Good Luck...
