Sorry for missing last week, but very little has changed.  We were in a little mid-winter lull and the
 
bite slowed some.

This week the bite has changed a little.  The perch seem to be moving deeper.  The best bite seems to be either along the deep 28-32’ break or even deeper in 32-34’.  The perch being caught are all good sized, an honest 12-14”.

Walleyes seem to be more active along the reef, but most are the 2013 year class.  Bigger walleyes are also being caught along Agate Bay Reef.  The big northerns have slowed along the reef and maybe this is why the smaller walleyes have moved in.

Still no word from the DNR about 2015 harvest quotas.  Rumor has it that the perch and northern quotas were unchanged and the walleye quota was still being discussed.  I assume they have reached a conclusion but I have not heard what it is.  I do not look for much of a change but hopefully they will allow more harvest this year.

Next weekend is Valentines Day on Saturday and Presidents Day on Monday.  Hope everyone will enjoy a nice long weekend.

Sunday, February 22nd is the last day of walleye season and the last day for pulling houses off.
