Took my cousin to potholes sunday for his first walleye trip there. He wasnt dissapointed! We were cold n wet but the fishing was on fire! Double limits w a bonus trout for me.

Boat fishing I assume?

glad you found a launch that wasn't clogged with ice. I need to get over there soon.

Planning on going over next week and try ,your luck at it. Never done it before, but I'm looking to learn.

Thanks,

Gasman

Sounds like it was a great day on the water

Here is a map of some of the popular places people troll. Walleye spots in black, trout in red. I am sure others will chime in as well. For walleye bottom bouncer and crawler harness fished slow (1-1.5ish mph). Try different depths till you find fish.

i've never fished it for walleye in the winter, but the wife and i did really well trolling the humps around the edge of the dunes back in june. standard bottom walker/crawler harness rigging. i make my own harnesses, just buy a pack of smile blades and some stack beads, and put a corky in the center rather than the standard "wedding ring". helps keep your hooks off the bottom a little bit, and a lot cheaper than buying the rigs individually.

would you mind telling us which launch you launched at? im sure they will all be ice free by the time I get over there but it would be nice to know

jkthomps · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2016, 02:31:36 PM »

This comes to mind for some reason.

i go to the potholes a half a dozen times every year i love it. would you be willing to share at least the depth you were catching them at this time of year?

BOWHUNTER45 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 29, 2016, 10:11:54 AM »

gasman · « **Reply #21 on:** January 29, 2016, 10:50:00 AM »

In the morning, we were getting them at 30 to 40 and the evening we got out last 4 we needed in 20 feet by the state park.

Only one 21" walleye this morning so far.
