i'll get some further information posted for you . but just for starters .
walleye are light bitters , they suck there food in and spit it out before you even know youve just had your jig cleaned . a lighter jig tipped with a minnow and a stinger hook will certanlly help out . 65 "is a little deep for ice fishing , i've cought them in as little as 15" . try around weed beds , rock piles , bays and cuts along the lake shore where there is a drop off .
easyest way to dertimine a drop off area is by looking at the shoreline . flat areas are unlikley to have a drop off . hills are likley to have one . just follow the slope of the hill and project it's path down into the water . it will give you an idea of how sharp the drop off is and how far to go out . rocky hills , rocky bottom , sandy hill , sandy bottom . go with a rockey one .
while jigging , i take my lure to the bottom , raise it up and with a controlled flutter back down (keep tention on the line , walleye often hit on the downward path ) wait a second or two and do it over and over again .
at the slightest sign of resistance , SET THE HOOK ! like i said , they hit light .
don't forget to ask your local baitstores for additional information . if they want repete business there gonna help you out .besides , there the best sourse for reciving the areas fishing reports and what there hitting on .
i hope this helps .
