Big moon this weekend. Fish are moving in shallow. I fished 11 feet last night (58 degree surface temp.) Alot of small walleyes caught, so that's usually prelude to the big bite, but there's still ALOT of forage for 'em. Big fish was only 25" with only 1 in seven ratio of keepers. (unless ya got a tribal card, then you can keep anything.)
My nephew Dannie is coming up Friday so I will give him the news tip. They tried to get on your launch but you were booked. They went with Appledron's boat.
Last night I was in 8 fow got 22 w/10 keepers caught and the full moon was so bright you could see the fish come right up to your bait.Zeebs got the water pretty clear..............................
Yeah, moon was great and even during the day been seeing them swim by in 4 FOW. Were you on structure in 8 feet like rocks or just sand and if you could see them I assume you were bobber fishing and if so what time of night? We are coming up this weekend and fish around Agate, got 3 keepers last Saturday night with 2 too big on Agate in 14 FOW bobber with leech.
i was up tuesday night put in at 8 off by 5am ran up and down the east shore north of flamingo down past hunters. kinda got cold but not too bad, ran into a few big girls and that made me look in my wallet i did not have atribal catrd so no keepers for me. Drive up and Back fish all night catch our limits but can keep nadda ie... zero zilch....still beats sitting in the lazyboy!
Saturday 10/6 surface temp 54 degrees w/2 foot rollers all day and night (until midnight) Caught 31 with only 8 keepers and a couple jumbos. Cold winds have scattered the biomass all over the shallow reefs. Marking fish everywhere from 17 FOW down to 8 FOW. Still an overabundance of baitfish that combined with the cool air temp made the bite a slow one for everyone. Had to work for 'em, but the work paid off for those with patience.
Big fish was 27 and 7/8. The ones I cleaned all had minnows in their stomachs. Rainbows were working on teardrop glow jigs and bobbers. Leeches were working too, but they're getting hard to come by (and small).
The 12 year old has hockey everyday this week but wednessday. Anyone want to fill in for me so I could get out one more time? I could talk the youngest 2 into quitting for ice fishing, but the 3rd boy has too much talent and an adiction to the game. I guess I have my later years to look forward to outdoor time.
Well my dad and brother in law came up from Chicago to hit the hot bite. We went out early yesterday morning, froze our ass for one 18 inch walleye that we reluctantly through back for the nets in the spring.
MM was here.
