Woody is reporting 50-55 water temps and the guys here are saying the fish are biting, Wayne has already been cleaning them for a couple fishermen.  the weather is getting warmer and less wind – so come and get them….

The neighbor had a guide and they came in with a really nice walleye25″ or better, I only saw it after it was cleaned and several smaller walleye, the cold front seemed to do a number on the fishing. Everyone seems to think they went deep.  I noticed the that there were only small walleye caught…
