That looks correct-lol I think, you sure do think it would be more-but I bet every lake is different. Tom

I live in northern Indiana and have never winterized my boat-we will fish till ice on and be the first out when ice out. But we do make sure we drain everything before we leave the ramp. Sometimes were pushing ice to get out-lol. Take care of your equipment and drain it right and you will be OK. Tom

I'm sure there just scouting there fishing grounds for next trip.

New to the site but I hope for him a speedy recovery and for him to be fishing again soon. Tom

Thanks for the report.Never been over that away but I'm gonna check it out this year.

Welcome aboard and keep us posted. I'll be down for a week the first full week of Oct. Tom

Welcome aboard- a newby myself. Tom

Good luck to you Bill, I have a buddy thats a Charter Boat Capt. on Erie also- Capt. Rick form ErieQuest Charters who also keeps us posted-he does overnight trips to pelee island and gets them 4 and 5 lb smallies, perch and walleye. good Luck on Table Rock and let me know if you find any eyes - lol.We will be staying around Kimberling City. Tom

Thanks T, I was beginning to think everyone was so secretive of everything even the water levels. I got a brother in Donipan(Poplar Bluff) area and he says it aint rained in forever and was hot as sin. Going on another trip here in Indiana and just found out the lake is 9ft below pool. I seen great walleye come from this lake in june, so we will see what happens. Thanks Tom

Looking to come to Table Rock first week of oct., was wandering how water conditions are and how the hot summer has affected the EYE bite-lol. We will be staying by Kimberling City area. Thanks Tom

The bottom Picture is from the grandson-hes my picture on all my posts-thats a november perch from Lake Mich. last year.

I was on vac. this week and momma wasn't so i got to do a little fishing with my walleye-Perchin buddys. We fished for perch but it was tough but always good days when you can get on the big lakes in smaller boats. We prefished thursday out of New Buffalo, Mich. - with Les as my partner and Rick and Berry in the other boat and it was some tough fishing- but a good breakfast and always a good time with these characters-lol Thanks for the invite. We went out of Portage, IN. yesterday, did catch fish-well over 50 apiece but dinks-came home with about 10 fish over 8in and 1 25 in Coho-or so I'm guessing-didnt measure it-but its my story so I can tell it the way I want-lol. Sons boat, always good fishing with the kids-and always a competision thing going on lol. Heres the Bro Scott-just had to steal my fish-lol The boy Jr as you call him, fished with Lee Court as his partner and thats always a good time.They switched up and were casting these which a friend of mine makes and sells-they gained the lead on us and ended with 20 perch-they tipped them with pieces of crawlers and that worked. Tom

Thanks guys-never heard of the peroxide bit before-I guess you will have good white meat anyway-lmao. Yea I changed my photo, figured it was to much-this is my Grandson with a Lake Mich Perch-there the best-uh along with walleye that is- well and some good cold water gills-well what the heck I like fish lol.Almost time for the anual summer fish fry. Can't wait. Tom

As much as these have caused problems they have also helped to clean up the Great Lakes, they have cleaned up Lake Mich., as well as Erie, the Small mouth and walleye, yes walleye in Lake Mich. and Erie are doing great. Lake Mich is starting to show good numbers of walleye, hopefully it will continue to grow. Heres a little article I found. Tom Non-native mussels and mollusks have also caused turmoil in the food chain. In 1988, zebra mussels were inadvertently introduced to Lake St. Clair, and quickly spread throughout the Great Lakes and into many inland lakes, rivers, and canals. Since then, they have caused severe problems at power plants and municipal water supplies, clogging intake screens, pipes, and cooling systems. They have also nearly eliminated the native clam population in the ecosystem.

Them Erie trips will spoil your walleye fishing-lol. Nice fish, nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Tom

Well I dont get out as much as I use to with work, but I'm out when I can and enjoy it. Erie trip is always great and with good fish. Local lakes have been slow-very hot here as well as down there-high 90's does cause effects in the fishing. We fish the big lake(Mich) when it gets this hot and the waves let you-so fished it yesterday but was slow, only 4 keeper perch above 8 inches with 1-13 in caught. We got a small bragging rights perch tourney sat - weather permitting. Tom

Hello T-RockJaws, have you had trouble stunning fish if water is to cold. Its been very hot here as well this year, guys are adding ice to livewells to try to keep walleye healthy and running aeriator pumps continuos. Tom

Going to be down in Oct looking for some eyes, I will be watching the boards for some info on areas and baits, mostly jigs-crawler harness up here in Indiana. Excited to get back down there again. Staying in Kimberling City. Tom

Thanks for the Welcome, I do enjoy some good small mouth fishing, and the great feast that comes from them. I will be at Table Rock the first week of oct, last year went to Bull Schoals and it was turning over -lol never caught a decent fish. Hoping this trip will be better. Thanks Tom

Hello love to fish-mostly 99.9% of the time for walleye. Checking in from northern Indiana. Jigging fool, and learning them boards, love a good trip to Erie, and I love my Lake Mich. Perch trips. Tom
