    Bite is poor at best.  Cold has shut off fish.  Time is better spent elsewhere.

    Fished in 8 to 10 FOW on Suday afternoon near Masonic Island.  Had moderate action most of the time using minnows and jigs.  Caught and released 8 northerns (all under 20"), 2 eyes (under 11") and 2 perch (under 7").   Missed a few bites but I had fun and the jerky was good.  Much better afternoon than watching the Vikings.

    Fished evening to 6 p.m.  Wind picked up and snow.  One hit while jigging, lost nice walleye on way through hole.  Starting to slow down, was catching around 15 a night, now very slow, time to move to deeper location once we get snow!

     Fished in 8 FOW on a great dropoff (on the very top edge of the drop) and saw a few eyes in the camera but the northerns were the only fish biting.  Caught and released 5 in the 12-25 inch range.  Hooked 1 walleye @ 11" long and released. Very nice day but fish weren't munching.  Still very nice to be able to fish out of a solid sided house again as the last 2 winters have been dangerous on the Dead Sea and the house stayed home.  (so did I for the most part)  We pulled the house out with the ATV, which worked just fine.  GREAT ice conditions!!  RodNReel

     Got walleyes in the 14" range in 9 FOW with pink/white gemini jig.  Also got a 30" Northern that tore up everything.  That's why I had to quit.  Had a ball.  Only got 4 walleye on Saturday at Devils Lake.  Saved a ton of money on gas.  RodNReel

    My wife and I caught 12 walleyes in the 12 to 15 inch range over the past two Sundays -- nice fat fish. Vertical jigging using pink/white 1/8 oz. jigs with minnows along weed edges in 10 FOW.  Lots of perch and northerns as well.  My wife also landed an 11 inch bluegill  -- took a couple of pictures and released it.  Great weather and little boating activity.
