... Another walleye season comes to an end - while the winter started out with a decent bite, most folks would agree that it finished up slow. Make that REALLY slow. Now we go forward with perch, tullibee and a few crappie to bring us to ice-out. Most of the perch we're seeing are in that 5-7 inch range. You can usually sort through 'em to pick out some keepers, but the true "jumbos" are pretty scattered. The tullibee population has rebounded and a lot of people have come to Mille Lacs to get a batch for the smoker. Again, there is a mix of sizes but you should be able to find a better ratio of keepers that you would with the perch. The crappie bite hasn't reached its prime yet, but there are a few fish going in Isle and Wahkon. Beware of the "herd effect" - just because there are 30 portables set up in a concentrated area DOES NOT mean that they're pounding them. You might find that being away from the crowd will be a HUGE benefit to your success.

******We're seeing a lot of tullibee off the deep edges of the flats - something we haven't seen in these numbers for years. When the tullibee population entered into crisis, fall netting was banned and the limit was reduced to 10 and remains at 10 now. If you like to smoke fish, these are the critters you're looking for. They're pretty easy to catch - they will hit small spoons, ants, dropper rigs, tear drops or most anything "small" tipped with some kind of bug. They bite lite so pay attention!
