lmt out

My fishing partner and his brother in law was out yesterday after we went, had 14 shorts and 9 keepers doing same thing as we did. They had them dialed in! Good job guys!!

Fished Sunday for about 3 hrs had 4 keepers. 21 inches biggest. Son and I wemt today fished 6 hrs had 4 keepers 1 short. Had a 20 incher and a 25 incher today. Bottom bouncing 15 to 23 ft of water. No real pattern. Just pic one up here one there.

Hey Mike I'm gonna have to jump in your boat and have you tech me about lead core trolling have never done it. I'm getting ready to head down and guve it a shot today. I wanna catch one of those. 23 24 inches. They r awful fun to bring in. Hope you guys had a good weekend thanks for the report.

I have caught several walleye like that. But not as many the last couple years.

Good job on the 3 walleye hunter.

I fished yesterday amd thought about you Dutch. I was bottom bouncing on the flat when I caught about a 9 or 10 inch drum. Got it about 3 ft from lifting it into the boat, when all I saw was a mouth coming up from below. And a large mouth engulfed the drum and took off. Ripping drag. I panicked and jerked it out of his mouth. It had to be 7 or 8 lbs at least.

I put in at the one at Stockton today and it was high when I put in but when I came back they had pushed it down into the water and it was perfect but the way they're dropping it by Friday it'll be back high again if they don't push it down

Found a few. Fish from about 8:30 to 12:30 had seven keeper walleye in three shorts. One short on jigging rap all the rest on bottom bouncing crawler harnesses in 18 to 22 foot of water

Great job and congrats on the PB!

Man thats a nice pair of fish. The fish we caught were very scattered no pattern at all. But did see more fish on the finder than I ever had. Huge balls of B aitfish with good marks all around them. I thought trolling cranks could be productive just have no clue when it comes to that. Good job Mike.

Been having some trouble finding the walley so I enlisted the help of a couple experts walleye fisher women. We ended with 5 keepers and 2 barely shorts. Bottom bouncing in 21 ft if water and jig and crawler from 17 to 21 ft of water. Fished from 8 to 12:30. To hot for us we headed in. Best 2 fishing partners ever. Sister and wife.

Water clarity was good about like it is normally. 3 ft At least. Probably more.

Went out today got on the water around 8:30 fished till 2. Had one keeper walleye and at that his tail barely hit the 15 inch mark. Bottom bounced in 15 to 35 ft of water. Caught 1 walleye. Jig and crawler and jigging rap for the second half of the day nothing but a bunch of drum. At this rate in 2 more trips I will have caught a limit. Lol.

A buddy and I fished about 6 hrs today. Fished along the dam. Jig and crawler all the way down the darn thing never caught a walleye. I would have bet money that wouldn't have happened. Stayed to long in a unproductive spot. Thought we were going to get skunked. Finally found a dumb one to give it up and a keeper to boot. Got him bottom bouncing in about 17 ft. These kinda days really make you appreciate the good ones. As for fishing it couldnt have been better. Great weather. Did get to meet a couple great guys on the ramp from Nebraska that troll ozark anglers. Lol

Thanks for the reports. Going to try to get out Tuesday and give it a shot.

Does that mean they r going to start releasing some water? If some of those places r gonna be opened they r ginna need to get the lake down some aren't they?

Has anyone been out fishing in the last week? Not much in the way of fishing reports. Someone has to be out there catching a few.

Thank you for the kind words. I'll be interested to hear how you do on the white river give us a report on how you do.

I had a pic in a post a couple years ago. I can't find the pic on my phone now but what I use is called a fireball jig. Northlake tackle sells them. They r basically a short shank jig head that you can tie a stinger hook on. And I do. I use 14lb florocarbon line and a no.1 red octopus hook. I try to stay 3 to 6 inches from the bottom dropping it down occasionally to make contact with the bottom. I believe I lost one jig yesterday. I tried using jigging raps also and lost 2 or 3 of them and didn't catch anything but a drum with them. I highly recommend northlandtackle.com I buy most of my jigs and all of my crawler harnesses from them. I use the baitfish floater rigs. Hope this helps.

There is some debris in the water. Not enough to make fishing difficult. The clarity looked good, not gin clear just a little stained. Of course I grew up fishing truman so being able to see a jig 2 ft under the surface rarely happens up there. Lol

I launched out of RB ramp and the doc was in the water but the kiosk that you pay to to use the ramp was underwater. LOL. My first fish was a smallmouth about 13 1/2 14in long that was the only bass I caught all day cut to drum three perch and a flat head and as it always happens I lost the best walleye just as I was about to net it

Went for a short trip today fished about 4 hrs had 3 keeper 2 shorts jig and crawler in 18ft.

Didn't get a chance to go today. Hopefully gonna try the morning if the rain let's me.

thank you very much!

I appreciate the info. Is Rb the ramp if you go past owl have hotel?
