Green Bay Walleye Fishing Can Be Done On Ice

By James Hughes


Walleye fishing happens all through the year. It happens in winter, autumn, spring, and summer. Angling during winter is a challenge. That is because of the low temperature. There is specialized gear that has been made for ice angling. Ice angling is great. Preparing and eating the catch is even better. The fish will need to be placed in a bowl and washed. Some people prefer to add beer to the fish so that it has a unique taste once the cooking is done. Lemon juice is another common ingredient. Local rules and regulations must be followed during Green Bay Walleye fishing.

Ice angling is a popular winter pastime in America and Canada. It requires highly specialized gear. A chisel, auger, and saw are used to cut a circular hole in the ice. The size of the hole depends on the kind of fish that is being sought. Generally, a 20 cm hole is usually made. A power auger can be used.

The size of hole needed depends on the type of fish that an angler is pursuing. The most basic tool that can be used in hole drilling is an axe. A blunt axe will not be able to do the job. A sharp axe will come in handy. It will facilitate easy, quick and highly effective drilling through the ice.

Ice angling can be difficult when the temperature is below -29 degrees. A small and light fishing rod can be used in angling. This will need to have a small and brightly colored lure. Alternatively, the bait might be shiner minnows, fax heads, or wax worms. Tip ups can be used in angling. This can be made of wood or plastic.

An ice angler needs to have a light and small angling rod. The lure should be small and brightly colored. If live bait is preferred, the options to use include wax worms, fax heads, and shiny minnows. Spear angling involves using a spear and fish decoys. The fisherman will need to wait for prey in a dark ice shanty also called dark house.

Ice angling can also involve the use of a flasher. This resembles a fish finder in the way that it is used. A flasher is a sonar system. It will provide an angler with accurate information. It will indicate the movement of fish as well as non-fish objects. The position of the bait will also be indicated on the flasher.

Traditional ice angling involved the use of a club. Clubbing is no longer popular. In clubbing, the angler walks on clear ice in shallow water with a large club. When he sees a large fish through the ice, he takes his club and slams the ice. The subsequent shock wave hits the fish and temporarily paralyzes it. That provides time for cutting a hole through the ice and collecting the fish.

The Green Bay Natural Resource Agency manages fishing and hunting in this city. This agency is tasked with preventing over fishing which is responsible for causing the depletion of fish in rivers and lakes. Fishing activity is managed through the use of quotas and length limits. A quota sets the total number of fish that can be caught by a particular fisherman.
