Way to go John Boat. You got the late fall / early winter pattern down.....and the middle winter, early spring, spring, early summer, late summer.....I know your breaking thin ice to get out there, your a diehard Milton man. What's your biggest walleye out of Milton?
Thank you
Far from ice breaking as of now. 31” eye released.

Probably due to me being the only one out there for the most part. Lol

I could believe it. back when the dam was breached, and the lake drained, I went out there and walked around with a legal pad and a pencil, and made my own maps. This was because the maps available at the local bait shops prior were total hokum, and I believed that somehow, someway, the dam would be repaired and the lake filled again. There are a few mucky spots out there, but not many. Much of the substrate is quite firm being fine gravel, and I found several spots that were pure sand. Other places were larger size rocks. I thought, "Man! This just looks like a walleye and smallmouth lake!"
Back in those days, Milton had the reputation as a crappie and muskie lake. That reputation was furthered by guys who didn't want people to find out how good a walleye lake it was!
Actually, I quoted the wrong message. I was reponsing to IBJ's post about natural reprooduction happening there.
