Staying out past sundown has been paying off for us

  Alright, I'll give it a shot. Finding deeper weeds in Mendota can be difficult with as murky as the water gets but I've got a couple ideas in mind!

  Thanks Brian. I've been fishing anywhere from 10-25 ft of water with peak times from 5-7pm. If you can find the deeper weeds these fish have been coming in from ...more deeper water during low light conditions to feed. Hope this helps. Good luck!

  Nice fish Dan. Staying on the ice after dark is always easier with a mild winter like we're having too! I have only connected to one walleye on Dota this year ...more and it was a short in 8 ft of water. What depths have you been targeting?
