Rice Lake Late Oct

[Sinker]

 

When you say it's the "norm for me " it suggests you alone catch 100+ a day yourself and it happens ALL THE TIME. I have had 2 super walleye days in my life. I caught 58 or 68 walleye through the ice on Scugog all on my own...ONCE... from first light until dark. I have it written down in an old journal and I can't remember if it was 58 or 68 and I can't be bothered to look. Another time 3 of us fall drop shooting as you suggest boated 80 eyes on Stony lake from dawn until mid afternoon in 55-58 FOW.

 

Since I'm not a hard core walleye guy and I have had my 2 fantastic experiences....I can believe someone who puts the time in can have such a magical day. But to say its the norm? Sorry I have a real hard time swallowing that.

CPH gets it. Were you in my spot when you slammed those ice eyes? Haha....

My two best days of walleye fishing are 3 in one day and 2 in one day. Yeah, I'm a terrible walleye fisherman.

No....but straight across closer to the west shore....

Depends on water temp and how the weeds holding up. Evening night bite in close always good working deeper Rocky drops during day produce best for me

I fish rice tons. I live 15 mins away, however, fall is hunting season so i dont do much fishing from now til ice up. If i do fish walleye, its at night in shallow water with shallow diving stick/jerk baits. Slow drag, long pauses. A lot of the time they will follow you right to the boat and smash it on the pause, so be ready. Crappie fishing is also really good that time of year at night. If youd like more info im just a PM away.

Thats my fall go to as well, right at dusk and well into dusk, better when the harvest moon is on as well, and if you staying at Elmhirst you are right in the vicinity of great late fall walleyes, as I launch right out of Keene
