Winch, sorry didn't see your post til I got back to minnedosa or I would have got you the order. Pretty cold out there but we got our limit of walleye and 7 pike. We managed to catch 57 fish, awesome day. Looking forward to the next adventure the brother-inlaws are taking me on.

Today, I think we are going to try the local trout pond to see if we can get the kids into some fish, staying close to home cause of the cold and I don't think the kids will last too long.

Doesn't look like much snow. How thick was the ice ? What are the regs there? By the looks of the crowd you could be on gull. Merry Christmas and tight lines to you and yours.

That is a conservation lake we were on so can only keep 4 walleye each, none over 18". Ice was a good 20-24", fishing in 5 feet of water. Not a lot of snow on the lake, must have been blown off. We caught alot of walleyes over 18, my biggest ever was 25".
