Yesterday was a banner day ice fishing for walleye. I slept in until noon, then headed to The Party Dock for minnows and snacks:
BEER - BOOZE - BAIT - TACKLE
The Party Dock sign pretty much sums it up! Great spot for minnows, you ask for a dozen and they give you three.
It's not every day you get to icefish for walleye next to a destroyer!
After a while, it was time to put some smoked sausage on the propane heater... bun / mustard / relish... tough day so far!
For a while I was pulling walleyes out as fast as I could real them in... I quit counting at 15. Most of them were undersized and small, but I loaded up on eaters too. Here's my best walleye of the afternoon, about five pounds:
Not a bad way to spend an afternoon, what do you think?
I'll be headed for The Party Dock again sometime soon!

Re: The Party Dock
I'd like to get out again tomorrow but with wind gusts to 40 mph and wind chills of 30 to 40 below zero,I think I will pass. Maybe work on the hunting gear...

Re: The Party Dock
Good stuff SB
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: The Party Dock
Awesome! I wish I could do something today. 30-40 mph gusts and subzero temps have me stuck at home. :(

Re: The Party Dock
It is still off the charts cold here. It will likely be next weekend before I can get out again. On the plus side, the ice is in excellent shape!
