curtisce

probably less wind in summer This is the least wind we have ever witnessed, a whole week

One of the lakes we fished stocked them. It's posted catch and release only. i really wanted to try some 🤣

Headed up by myself to my brothers house. Weather shut down our first day. Went to lake Sharpe pm MO river for 2 days good number of Smallmouth plus enough bonus walleyes on ned rigs to come close to our limit each day. Spent next 2 days at brother s house again weather. All 3 elements wind cold and rain . Headed to Roy lake with an improving forecast. Set tents up in slight drizzle. Headed out to fish. WT before the front had been above 60. We found main lake 50 and shallow bays 46. Slight caught about 20 nice large mouth that afternoon. they were scattered about off shore in about 6 fow. Weather from there through the trip was great. Could have used a little more wind which is strange for SD. Fished 10 lakes caught 10 species. Had two fish fry's had 11 friends at one of them. one. Will post more boarding a flight soon

What year was your trip, recent?

I'll agreee the northern fish are chunkier but shorter?

Tuesday I went down , @BilletHeadand Mrs. got there early and warned me I wouldn't be able to launch at the 10 bridge. Went down to twin bridges and paid my $10 then ran up the river. Considerably shallower thatn last time and put a few nicks in my newly machined SS prop 😫. Had to use the trolling motor to get above the riffle t the gravelbar. Livescope showed lots of fish in the first pool. Caught a few but mainly small males. Marty was already clicking and putting nice plump females in the livewell. took a while but I started catching a few. Went up around the corner but not much luck, we all ended up back in the same place. Two other boats were catching fish right and left. marty calls me and say a faster strip was the trick. We all started catching for quite awhile. with enough fish in the livewells we tried a few different spots and then headed towards the ramps. Lots of boats just below 10 bridge

did you have much company, I'll bet they will be out this weekend. Hard to keep a good bite secret.

wow that's a nice hybrid and a bunch of crappie

Did you have any bites?

Time for some duck gumbo

no wind is the worst. untilit get over 25 it doesn't cause much problem. Only things is that once you sit up to shoot they can be out out range in a blink with that wind.
