Thanks TD. I'm excited to get out and try it out. Utah Lake has frozen over and then melted 2 or 3 times now, but with all these storms it's finally completely capped over. Not sure on ice thickness but you're right it doesn't last long it's too warm here in the valley, and Feb and March always have plenty of wind to accelerate the ice off. I've seen the ice pile up on the windward (East) shores as high as lie 6 -8 feet on the beaches.
I'm trying to get my little bro converted to tubing by the pre-spawn so he can come out with me. I've pretty much won him over, just need to get him to fork out the cash for a tube and fins.
So, what works best on the walleye pre-spawn. I've caught a couple out near the bubble-up where the pipe ends and releases it's water, but they were few and far between and I caught them on a chartruese and red jig reeled in straight with no jigging action near the bottom. For Christmas I got some jig skirts from Sportsman's: some black with purple tails, and some purple sparkle. I assume they're good colors for walleye but not sure. Any suggestions?
