Title: Need a little help for Walleyes
Post by: UCBowhunter on February 17, 2021, 08:45:43 PM: So where is a good place to ice fish Walleyes east of the Hudson? I have a friend that never caught one and wants to so bad. Open to West of the Hudson also. We hit Sacandaga Lake this past weekend and did pretty good with Pike. Biggest being 31". Any help guys and target depth to look for. Thanks

We hit Titicus Sunday. Alot of flags but few caught. Had one strip off a serious amount of line off a tip up but got the minnow. Did get a few huge perch 11" to 12⅜". Tha is for the heads up on East Branch.
