Fishing tip: Changing winds
Pay close attention to wind direction. In March, strong winds can push slightly warmer surface water and baitfish into certain shorelines or bays, concentrating walleye and perch in those areas. Fishing the windblown side of a lake or bay can often produce better results than calm water.
Also, don’t be afraid to move frequently. Early spring fish tend to roam, so drilling multiple holes on the ice or making short moves by boat can help you stay on active fish instead of waiting for them to come to you.
