How has the walleye bite been on LOTW? I’ll be up the second week of January and I am curious.
Derek- I plan on fishing for a day out of Zippel Bay. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Happy New Year

We just got back from LOW 28th – 30th 2 days fishing 27 walleyes thru the ice out from Adrians in 21 to 24 ft of water our better catches came at 9 to 11am and 1 to 3pm but real spotty everything in between. I was hearing fishing was better in 12 to 17 just outside or in four mile bay. With The wheather patterns we have been having , maybe have the fish thinking more like spring time in more shallow yet and not real deep. While we were there , 30′ only produced 4 fish for 4 other fisherman all day and I heard from others real spotty fishing 30′. but it might be a different story out of Zipple Bay.. Jeff
Same kind of report here. Fished out of Adrians Dec. 25 thru Dec. 28. Lots of fish in 15-18 feet of water. Went out to deeper water mid-day and the catching was slim. It should turn on real soon.
Thanks for the reports guys. I’ll let you know how we do upon our return.
It seems that big fish run in the family. That sure is a dandy. way to get a bigger one than the old man.
She sure was excited. So was I. She wants to go back. Go figure. Was a great trip
We were up in sleeper shacks out of Sportsmans Lodge from 12/30-1/1. They had us in 28′ of water. On 12/30 we caught about 25 walleyes between the 5 of us. The next morning before we left, we had another 7 or 8. Not super fast bits but was ok. We saw a lot of fish cruising the bottom on the flashers but wouldn’t bite.
