As I sit upon this icy lake

How many of you can go fishing for walleye and catch at least one legal eye each time you go targeting them? Because as I sit here on this icy lake with nothing on the vexi nor any flags for 4+ hours I wonder if its just me that has a hard time icing eyes like the next guy.

I put in at least ten hours per walleye this year. Prolly closer to twenty!

I saw the post and thought it was a riddle like " as I sit so broken hearted tried to" well you know the ending, right. Have to laugh in general not at the season, at least we got to fish!

like micheal jackson said, you are not alone! i've fished bago close to 20 days this year and only caught one walleye. i also caught a fat 3.5lb sauger, but we're talking walleyes. they are the most elusive of the active fish through the ice IMO both came jigging.

I live near Rice Lake and there are so many "good" walleye lakes around. But when it comes to looking for structure and what to fish depending on conditions I am at a loss. Come open water I can catch all the eyes I want but it seems like some part of what I am doing is wrong. I feel like I am putting in plenty of time on the ice and am due for a few really nice eyes or maybe a little consistency. I look at the lake maps too and I will pick a prime spot...move around a bunch and still no dice.

It's not just you. Walleyes are hard to catch on a consistant basis. Much different than pike.

I move and move and move and move till I find fish.

I get skunked about every third time when i target walleyes. Thats what makes catching them so rewarding, that and the filets.
