Took my buddy Ken out for a little walleye fishing on the Arm. Finally, somebody caught more burbot than I did. Ken caught 4 and I caught 2; although I do still have a 50 burbot lead over all of my fishing buddies combined.

We headed up the Arm a ways and stopped at a deep hole that has been producing lately. We had to move around a bit but we ended up catching 49 eyes total. Many were 12" but we were able to catch 20 that were worth keeping. Either a red or black jig head with a motor oil red flake grub caught the majority of fish in 55-65 FOW. Water temp was 49 in Porcupine Bay and decreased as you went up river.

you mentioned the water depth, but how deep were the eyes hanging out in the water column?

Elliot - The walleyes are hugging the bottom; not suspended. Sometimes you mark them on your fish finder and sometimes you don't. A slow retrieve while jigging is working well for me right now. I basically pull my jig off bottom, hold my rod tip high, and let the jig slowly glide back to the bottom.
