Using electronics we keep out deadsticks at least a foot over where fish are showing up and jiggle them occasionally. The bite is from daylight to 11am and then the last hour of daylight. Mornings. Fish show up on or near bottom early. Rip the shadraps till fish show up the jiggle as you lift the rod. I've had fish follow from the bottom in 20' up to 8' before they bite. The bite will remind you of the tap a walley gives on al jig in April. Many fish have the lure completely in the mouth. As the morning progresses you'll start to see them suspended and you'll have to reel up to them and slowly work the lure through them. When the shadrap fails them use the tiny jigs for the suspended fish. This will catch the last dozen.
There is at least 8" of ice everywhere except off the beach where the geese kept it open longer but we found 5" there. I have been out to the community humps and caught some of the biggest fish of the year but it's a long hike. From the dam to the crabil house has produce plenty of fish but alot of small ones mixed in. If your using the maps to find where brush was dropped your looking for baby factories. Use the maps to find the areas where there is deep water nearby. Use GLOW as your main color during lowlight hour and perch and firetiger later . Good luck.
specialty is walleye saugeye and sauger with a sprinkling of crappies and perch.
