Been ice fishing out of Zippel Bay Resort now for like 20 some years. Looking for a better spot to go out of to catch some bigger slot fish. Just hasn't happened for many years in the Zippel Bay area.

Been thinking of going out of Dales or maybe Long Point. Any input would help. We do have a wheel house and generally fish the first wknd of March. Thanks.

Was at Long Point this past weekend. Lots of small fish, no slots from us......

Was up there a week ago. We stayed at the Walleye Retreat Lodge but did our own fishing rather than using their houses. First day we went out kind of N-NW of Morris Point into 27' of water. Didn't do too well. Just a couple saugers in the afternoon. 

 

My nephew was up there with another bunch and went out using Adrian's Resort access and did quite well that same day. They gave us waypoints to their location so on day 2 we tried that. It was about 15 miles north in 33' of water. We did much better this day although most were still saugers in the 12" - 13" range. Got a few walleye in the 15" - 19" range and one 21" by your's truly. 

 

Seemed our best success, especially for the walleyes, was dead sticking using a plain hook through the back of rainbows about a foot off the bottom. I talked to one of our neighboring fishermen and he had just landed a 27" walleye.
