Hey Sportsfans!
I know what you’re going to ask me, YES, we got snow and a lot of it. But you know what that means.. We have the bombardiers out!
We powered through the snowstorm and kept fishing in almost white out conditions, our guest still got to enjoy a fresh fish fry dinner each night here at Ballard’s!
The big trophy walleyes are starting to come out and play a little more on Lake of the Woods, with a few making guest appearances! We have been seeing a good amounts of saugers to fill the buckets and a few perfect keeper sized walleyes.
Our ice houses are in anywhere from 29-31 feet of water, and about 3 miles north of Pine Island on Lake of the Woods.
We have about 18-20 inches of ice on our private ice road and seeing anywhere from 0-24 inches of snow on top not including some monster drifts!
And the “HOT” tip I got from the guides: “it’s a house to house basis of if the jig pole or the dead stick is the winning ticket. Try them both out and don’t be afraid to fish on the bottom of the lake!”
Happy New Years!
SET THE HOOK!
