Anyone else catching anything?

Here are some walleyes my fishing partner got this year. A 19" and a couple 26". He got the 3rd one accidently while crappie fishing. I haven't got none picture worthy this year yet.

Here's a few...

17"er right under the ice...POW!

Perfect way to end 2007!

[Team Otter]

And a few more...

Bullied by a Buck Shot

Looks like dinner

Fish, Oil, Batter, Smile

Two 15"ers count as a 30"er, right?

Just prior to '08, by one day..

My wife and a good one..

And an average guy...

[Kyle Sandberg]

Great looking fish guys. Last year seemed to have been a good year. Lets hope this one shapes up the same.

[Team Otter]

Nice fish Jim.

Here's a good one from today...

how do you like that coat? I cant see what brand it is, but it looks to be one marketed for ice fishing correct? Just wondering if it is any better than regular columbia winter coats or winter hunting coats?

[Kyle Sandberg]

Here are a couple from last Friday. Granted they aren't huge but they were fun to catch nontheless.

FISH ON!

My buddy got the spotlight on this outing but I'll get my revenge.

theres a couple chunkers!! nice fish!

[Fish'n guy]

Heres another nice eye I hauled through the ice the other night! He was cruising along the edge of an old fencline! The crazy places you find fish out here never cease to amaze me! lol!

[Team Otter]

They act like deer out there.

[Shane683]

Fish'n guy,

That's a dandy!!

[Icing]

anyone knows of any good lake to fish in early morning? It's seem like that would be best time cause not too much people out that early. any info would help.

[Team Otter]

Where are you located?

[harvey lee]

Nice eye Andy.

[Fish'n guy]

Thanks guys!

LOL! I like you mention its like deer hunting! There is more truth to that then you would think. Found this guy right along the shore from one of my favorite perch spot on Waubay Lake last year! Talk about a sweet find!!!

[Icing]

Team Otter,

Am in the metro area, I wouldn't mind driving out hour to hour an a half out. Man...them walleye are hard to caught. Well, after all this is my first year on ice ever. But it's been great am loving every moment of it. It seem like I can't get enought of it. Well, thanks for your help Team Otter.

[harvey lee]

Andy, you must have had a bad hit last fall. At least you got the rack.

[Fish'n guy]

Haha! If he would have put himself within reasonable distance of me he'd have been on his way to the taxidermist long before this pic was taken! lol

[Team Otter]

This is a tough time of the year to catch 'eyes through the ice but it can be done. Keep your presentation simple and be quiet on the ice. Often times, the little things this time of year really shine. As for what lakes to try, boy, the list is endless. If you're willing to drive an hour, I would try Madison, Jefferson or Frances. But, you have some darn good opportunities right out your back door in Minnetonka, Harriet and Calhoun, just to name a few.

Good luck!

p.s. Andy, cool "find" on the deer. Thanks for sharing.

Heres a few from this year

25 inches

28 incher

26 incher

Ya slow and steady seems to be the way of the year. Fish Fish Fish that's the goal for making it great in 08

[Kyle Sandberg]

That 28"er is absolutly huge! How much did that pig weigh. All those fish look really healthy. WTG!
