Everyone seemed to hunker down for this cold weather we've had over the last week, and we haven't seen too many fishermen. Fishing had been fantastic leading ...more up to this cold spell, and we have had a few reports that it had remained pretty good throughout. With this upcoming warm snap the fishing should fire up again, and the perch and panfish should be feeding actively.

Things have calmed down since Eelpout weekend, and fishing on Walker Bay seems to be picking back up again after all the noise. We expect that Walker Bay will continue to be a hot spot up on Leech, and Goose Island, Duck Points, Grassy Point, and Kabekona Bay should all be great fishing as well.

Word on the panfish is that the Crappie are biting well in the mornings and evenings on many of the smaller area lakes. Best bite seems to be late in the evenings just before dark on glow jigs and crappie minnows. Take advantage of the schools of biting fish when they come through. A great combination right now is a bobber setup for a deadstick and work a jig rod to the side; the deadstick will get some of the finicky fish to commit to a bite when the jig stick won't get them.

Still not much word on the tullibee up on Leech here. Once we get in a consistent warm pattern they should start kicking on. There have been a few guys hitting the holes up there, and they have been bringing in a few in the early mornings. The all-day-bite has not gotten going yet.

We'll leave the video up another week as this area should be hot coming up this week and weekend. We were in 12' of water in the north side of Walker Bay. Great fishing, but the key is to keep hole hopping to get bigger numbers of fish; they still seem loosely schooled.
