East Bay - Sunday, January 8, 2012

Report Details
 Fished east bay on Sunday, Fishing was slow until sunset, fishing picked up pretty quick.

Fished in 8-17ft of water, some holes near the trees and some out in deeper water. Caught 3 nice jumbos and 4 walleyes. The Walleyes came on big minnows with jigs and spoons, One perch was caught on a minnow head and the rest on BIG minnows. Half the fish were caught on tip ups including the 27.5 inch walleye. The big walleye bit about 30 min after dark inn about 11ft of water.

Good outing for Devils Lake!

Fear,

When you say big minnow, how big is that?

For me, i would conside a 6-7" chub/shinder/minnow a big minnow but thought that it may be smaller if the target is for walleye.

I try to get the biggest fathead minnows I can. The ones I had were pretty big, about 3-4 inches long I believe. I have not tried different kinds of bigger minnows for walleye because they are not available near me.

 I used to get them in grand forks before I head to DL. The minnow size has really gone down lately tho. I also had a hard time getting big minnows in DL so not sure when I'll find good minnows again. All the GF bait shops get their bait from the same person I believe

I really think the bigger minnows help catch bigger perch and sometimes walleyes
