Hey boys,
This report is a little late but here goes: Caught two very nice eater walleyes last saturday night in about 13.5 feet of water. Just went yesterday and caught two more, but they were cigars and I threw them back. The bite is slowing down now, we will be moving the trailer very soon hopefully catch more like these ones! The bigger one is 20 inches long... and they tasted delicious!

wtg tbone. At least you didn't have to release that 20" one like the rest of this part of Ontario.
As for the bite slowing down that seemed to be a common thing as February rolled around for us and we started catching lots of small "jacks". Hopefully you can stay on top of them.

Cheers

numbers haven't been a problem the size is an issue so far. This weekend I caught 4 small saugers and a ling, the ling was about 1 to 1.5 pounds :) Smallest I have ever seen they usually bulky at shirley's bay. Catching most of my bigger fish on buckshots, a few on jigging raps. Hopefully We will break the five pound mark soon that's the goal for feb.:)
Good luck to all hope to see u out there.

That is too far for us CClad, we don't feel comfortable that far away from the plowed road since we have a trailer. I am sure we will find a good spot where we are though, just have to drill a bunch of holes and try to find something different.
