Devils Lake (Overview) - Saturday, January 7, 2012

Fished DL Thursday through Sunday morning last weekend.  Overall fishing was slow with morning and evening bites good but just little 12 to 13" walleyes.  We caught a few perch but notices some others at the cleaning station with more perch and bigger size than ours.  We started in creel bay and work our way out to wolfords bay and other points around the lake.  Tried many depths and locations.  Seemed the fish bit a 1/2 hour before sunrise and the bite lasted about an hour.  Fun action, just not good sizes.

We fished 10 foot down to 50 foot.  Most of our fish caught in 22 to 27 feet of water.  Mornings and evenings we caught more fish jigging than on bobbers.  We only caught a few all weekend on bobbers.  If the fish were not taking the lure, scale down to a minnow head and that seemed to help.

Overall, fish were negative and during the daytime the action was slow.  Still a great day to be on the ice.  Some people driving around on the lake.  Ice was 14 inches most places.  Careful around the heaves.  Good luck.
