Gaylord Area Fishing Report

December 8th, 2024

Gaylord area (East) December 7, 2024 Northeast Lower Peninsula. We were able to find safe ice in Montmorency county on a local walleye lake and made the most of it! We used basic early ice tactics targeting fish in shallow water in 15ft and less. For bait we used minnows on a small #12 treble hook; weighted with a small split shot on light leader line and set under a Jaw Jacker or Automatic Fisherman for quick hookups.
We monitored our lines using the Vulture Alarm System which notifies us of a hooked up fish on one of our set lines allowing us and the kids to get back over to our setups fast and stay on a hooked up fish. Jigging small Swedish Pimples in sizes 1/8oz or 1/10oz with light leader line tipped with a chunk of minnow or a minnow head can also be very effective and took a mid 20” walleye.

As with any ice conditions, early ice conditions can be unpredictable and can change fast. We encourage everyone to use caution when venturing out on the ice for the first time and to always use a spud.
