Thanks for the tip on the beaver tailwater. Will definitely try that sometime never been. We ended up camping at the north fork of the white upstream, caught more bass than I could count, hoping to get into some goggleye to eat, but nothing but little goggleye. We're going to save the buffalo for later.
So I was thinking with the good spring rains, what creeks could be float and fished? I've got a 16' canoe and a trolling Motor itchin to get out there.
Going to head down 123 hwy, we went to blue hole last year, it was real nice but the bathrooms hadn't been kept up better if they weren't there if you smelled it you would agree.
Any fishing advice? Are there any catfish in the river around there? Goggleye? Want to catch some for dinner
Any advice on what the smallmouth biting on?
I don't know why someone would just take the nose. That makes me mad too, that all of our resource, if you kill it you should eat it!
Seth I agree I don't think a lot of them made it up river a fair amount probably. I think there are a good amount staging around point 15 up to walnut springs still though and I didn't see another soul snagging this weekend down there boat or shore.
You guys got any good spots down towards the lake for some big cats? Flat creek under 173 or point 15 any good? Been wanting to get into some big cats for a while. Want to get into some carp too.
Had it to myself last night at walnut springs, my son and I caught a small 2' spoonie and a pretty nice about 3'er male, we threw it back anyhow it was late and I got plenty in the freezer. snagging for about 3 hours pretty hard. Set out a few bank lines with shad for cats and not a thing there though.
Nice! I saw a post on paddlefish staggers group on Facebook a guy got a few males above galena a few days ago, I hope we get another hard rain for a couple days before its over to get me moving..
