Great Job Trevor

Great Job!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Sure I remember. I hope anything I may have said helped you put a few in the boat. I love talking fishing. Thanks for the well wishes. Ed

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. After duck season, I will be out trying to find fish... I love the cold water fishing and am looking forward to getting after them.

Well the wife and I made the decision to move on to the next phase of life. Going to pull the trigger and retire from my current profession. Working swing shift and driving 2 and a half hour round trip to do it, had gotten old quickly. So right now the plan is starting January 1st to start my guiding business. We will be offering Combo trips for walleye and crappie From January to May on Truman and Lake of the Ozarks. And most likely just walleye from May to November on Stockton Lake. Also will from time to time head north and fish a few walleye tournaments It seemed like a easy decision to stop working for the man. Lol And start doing something I love. It has been a true pleasure to take the hand full of folks I got to take this year. It was one of the best feelings to have someone tell me they had never caught a walleye on purpose or never caught a limit of walleye and to assist them in doing just that. I can't promise a limit or even to catch a walleye but I will absolutely do my best to make it happen. Also all of the corny jokes and stories you can handle. Lol. Most of all I would like to thank my wonderful wife Brandi for all the support and encouragement and the sacrifices she has made for me to do this. She is truly a special person. Ed

That's enough for a meal for two. great job

Did not get out today decided to stay home and mow yard, work on duck boat. Hope everyone that did tears them up.

I'm gonna give the wind a try tomorrow as well. Have no clue where to try to catch a walleye. Well I have a clue, but its been a couple weeks so much can change, just hope to find some.

I agree with Mike. For the last month and a half when we have caught fish mostly from 10 to 16 ft was the best. I have caught very few this year deeper than 16 ft. Dont have a clue why. Usually 18 ft is my go to depth. And as Mike said I can only keep 4 and rarely do I keep that many. Also there r a lot better walleye fisherman than I on the lake, I get lucky once in a while.

I am not much of a tech guy so I am sure I'm not getting the most from my electronics. But I switched from hummingbird to lowrance about a year and a half ago. And I have notice more fish on the bottom. I normally just fish structure that I feel is the right depth and right structure. But this year I have kind of adopted the "theory" if I am jigging or jig and rapping no fish on sonar no fishing. When I'm bottom bouncing I dont worry about it as much because I'm moving much more.

Great job Mike. Took the Mrs. Today and she didn't even let me catch a walleye. She had 3 keepers and 2 shorts.

Great Job Mike.

Some times you have a really good trip and think I have it figure out then..... You have a day like today. We had (the wife and I)5 keepers and 4 shorts. Sister and her boyfriend in her boat 1 short. All keepers were better than 17 inches biggest 22. Had to find fish on fish finder or you weren't getting bit. On the good side got to fish with my beautiful wife which has not happened near enough this year.

Well I am trying to supply information on what I have notice while I am down fishing. When I started people that posted reports helped me a great deal just trying to return the favor. Probably done taking people this year. May squeeze in another trip or 2. Will try it again next year in the late spring and summer. Then in a year or 2 maybe try do more trips. The folks that I have take have been some if the nicest people you will meet and made it very easy on me. I appreciate it very much and hope they hop in the boat with me again.

I use northlandtackle.com fireball jigs. They r a short shank jig with an extra eye to tie a stinger hook. I use a no.1 red octopus hook. Tied with 14lb florocarbon. You want your stinger about 2 to 2 1/2 inches behind your jig hook. My father used to and a lot of people just use a regular 1/8 or 1/4 jig with or without a plastic body and a have a night crawler. Both will work.

Decided the weather was too good today to not go fishing. Really glad I did. Had 26 Keepers and five shorts. jig and crawler 12 to 22 ft water on one Rocky Point. Had 8 fish over 20 had a 27 incher, (2) 24 inchers, a 23 incher, (2) 22 inchers, and (2) 20 1/2 inchers. Most of the rest were 17 inch or better only had one that was close to 15. All the shorts were around 13 in Long. Never had that many big fish that quick. Felt like I was at Devil's Lake. Not little old Stockton

Looks like a lot of fun was had. Congrats in a great day with your family.

Great job. Straw hat.

Just got lucky and found a few.

20th. Had 29 walleye with 12 being keepers 2 biggest were 23 in. 21st Had 21 walleye. 9 keepers. Biggest 21 inches. All of the rest of the Keepers were in the 16 to 17 inch range with a couple 19 thrown in there. Bottom bouncing with crawler harnesses in 14 to 16 foot of water was the best did catch fish all the way into 10 foot of water. 1.0 to 1.1 mph

That one was almost 21 inches. I was told it is because of severe temperature variations while they r in the egg. But I am not sure.

Mike thanks for hoping in the boat it was a very nice day on the water. We filled 6 I took a couple home and bagged Mike up his 4. Just got done eating fresh fish off the grill. I'm not much of a fish eater but fresh walleye is hard to beat. 16 ft deep seemed to be the ticked, color didn't seem to matter.

How do you tell the males from the females? I'm seriously asking not trying to be funny. Great job by the way.

Great job on the trip. Looks like they had you on them. Got some dandies there.
