Hey guys, I haven't posted here for quite a while. I am no longer living in Totoland but my residence now hails from the heart of country music, Nashville. Anyway I saw an article recently in the Nashville Tennessean newspaper about a walley caught on Dale Hollow. A well known guide was fishing with clients and they had caught several nice walleye. There was a picture in the article and those fish were really good sized. One of them was a blue walleye . The article said the blue walleye species or strain was thought to be extinct since the 50's or 60's. I thought of you Randy, that you might like to hear or read this so I posted it here. Today we are getting light snow in Nashville.

I began to develop a smile before getting to the last line. Funny post and I had a feeling it was you. My partner 3 weeks ago broke a Razr rod in half and then 2 hrs later he had to quickly dive in to stop his calcutta/falcon combo from finding a resting place on the bottom. Good thing I didn't laugh too hard because last week we were at it again and I opened up a front deck locker lid and was peering inside when I heard a small clunk followed by a subtle splash. Almost instantly I deducted what I had heard and quickly looked over the top of the open lid and saw my Daiwa/Shimano combo quickly disappearing into the stained depths here in Totoland. I was lucky but wet when I surfaced.

The spook or smaller versions are good. So are chuggers. The alarm clock is your friend. Go very early. Often the bite is over just when folks get on the water. It doesn't usually last long unless it's cloudy and overcast.

Updated offer, bump Thanks, Steve

That is a great looking fish. I bet there's more of them where that came from. Can you describe the tackle and presentation method used for that fish ?

This is a funny post Bill. At the time it's a little difficult to stay wrapped. I feel your pain. I got a buddy who didn't have a bass rig. I was happy to have a partner to fish with. He was never too helpful during those times when ya need a hand, like fishing around docks when the wind is blowing. He would assist in preventing damage to the boat if he wasn't "busy". I had to watch him cause I never could tell if he was going to reach out and protect the boat or not. His comments whenever I brought this subject up was basically looking me straight in the eyes and shrugging his shoulders while saying, " I don't know what the big deal is, it's a fishing boat". The day came when he bought his first bass rig. I dumped him in the water and parked his truck. When I got down to the dock he was on the front deck extending a towel and asking me to wipe my feet ! Bwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ya never can tell about people.

Hey RPS. Nothing like adapting to the current conditions. Nice pics. I fished a local lake here yesterday and had a brutal experience. So today I took Kermit to the pond and got some consolation. It required I put Kermit in a very gnarly position, but it's OK cause if the overhangs snag it I can just retrieve it when the water gets hard. Keep the pics coming. It helps my withdrawals. LOL !

I also use frozen water bottles, but I have used block ice also. I usually fill the livewell to about 75% capacity at the mouth of a large cove. If the water temps are above 65 then I use ice. I also use a formula which is greenish crystals. I don't remember the name of it , something like "Catch and Release" or something to that effect. I believe if you can lower the livewell temps by 10 degrees that should be helpful to reduce shock. Along with that I close the valve on the livewell so no more water comes in or goes out. Next I turn on the recirculating pumps . This is not the aerator pump. I usually set the recirc switch to auto but occasionally I will run it constantly. I can't tell that running the recirc continually produces a better effect . I haven't lost any fish with this method unless the fish was mortally hooked. My beverage cooler in the boat will hold 4 quart jugs of frozen water. So I put them around the inside perimeter and then I put my beverages in the center of that . Next, I cover with as much ice as possible. Usually about 6 drinks and 3/4 bag of ice or about 6 lbs. I usually also take a small beverage cooler and put in another 6lbs or so of ice and a few more drinks. If I am putting fish in the livewell during the course of the day this method has always served me well and kept my beverages cold. At this time of the year I always make room for the extra beverage cooler and drinks. That way I can take care of the fish if necessary and I also am able to stay hydrated. I will drink something every 2 hours so if someone is with me I have to carry plenty of drinks.
