Just found the edge of the hump in around 30ft and tipped the pinhead with a minnow head and they walleyes were pretty happy to bite in the low light hours.

I fished the steeper drops between 35-50ft and the fish wound come from anywhere between 30ft and right off the bottom. Definitely keep the baits moving to get them to strike.

Bostic and Zippel Bays were clear of ice early this year. The big pike come in to the bays to spawn. Pike fishing is open year round on Lake Of The Woods, and ice out is a great time to target them as they congregate in the bays. I used spinner baits, spoons and chatter baits primarily. The Zman Big Blade came through to attract pike. LOTW is known for being a place to use gold colored lures. This trip proved that, gold was a preferred color for all the lures I used.
