Jason Mitchell joins the JMO Podcast with a template for targeting walleye on Devils Lake, North Dakota during the late ice period. There are many variables that dictate success on a daily basis lending the majority of the success to anglers that are able to read the conditions of the day and react accordingly. The mountain of experience of which Jason's recommendations spawn from is impressive. Also note, these topics can be relevant or at least a good starting point for anglers across the Midwest wherever the walleye seasons are still open in March and April.
