We called it quits at 2:30 pm. After getting home and filleting the eyes I found this in the biggest eyes stomach:



I think the catching will continue to improve as the water temps rise above 55 and with the coming warm up that will likely happen next week and maybe as soon as this weekend.

Does someone want to guess what was in his stomach, 
Thanks for the report

I'm guessing baby catfish.  Walleyes are efficient scroungers and when there are no shad, baby carp or other small species available they will munch on the fry of other species...like catfish...like the one in the pic below.  They even eat crawdads if the cats and wipers leave any for them.
