More winter Walleye fishing
Between the last few winter storms, we have had breaks in the weather, enough to get the boat out on open water. Each day we have gone out has produced a variety of fish. Our last outing we managed to boat 4 different species of fish, and enjoyed a 40 degree day on the water. Walleye, Pickerel, Fallfish, and Suckers were caught. Here are a couple of pictures! And remember, give us a call at 570-224-4747 to schedule your 2017 fishing trip today!
