That's a good day of walleye fishing!

Haven't fished any myself, I was over at Swepco a couple of years ago on a Saturday in the winter (Swepco is a warm-water discharge lake) when there was a yak tourney going on, they had something like 50 yaks entered then add in all the bass boats and other craft on a popular 700 acre lake and it was a zoo. I don't see how that could be fun. Of course that was probably an extreme case, well I hope it was.

Makes me wonder if those stripers can now spawn in that river. I think their eggs need something like 8 miles of flowing river to hatch.

The worst punishment my mom could inflict on me was to tell me that just wait until your dad gets home and I tell him what you did.

I am thinking that fish figured out how to catch and eat shad.

Well here is my last trout for the year and as a matter of fact it is my only trout of the year. 😄 Caught it on Table Rock on a Wiggle Wart in about 4 feet of water. Very fat fish, and silver colored, when I first saw it near the boat I thought it was a big gizzard shad.

A couple of days ago I saw the weather forecast for today - cloudy with little to no wind and I made plans to fish today because these kind of days in the winter seem to always be good days to fish the Ned. It was pretty good from 0730 to 1100 and then got a little spotty. Usual winter time stuff, steep banks with timber or steep chunk rock banks were holding fish. I'm dragging a 1/8 oz Ned on the bottom and most bites are in the 10-25 foot range. I caught one keeper on a jerk bait, a fat 15 inch rainbow on a Wiggle Wart but the rest of my fish (22) were on a Ned. 9 were keepers, mainly 15" spots, but caught a couple of decent smalls and another keeper LM. Only saw one other boat today, I was a bit surprised there weren't more folks out there. WT 45-46

I'm guessing the tire shop guy, there's some folks that have made a good living in the tire business.

Well a person doesn't have to go to college if they don't want to. Depends what you want to do in life. You will find that a lot of doors are closed in certain professions to those not holding the necessary paper, medical field being a big one.

18" minimum for walters. I've caught a few of those 16" fish myself last couple of trips out. Looks to be a strong year class of those fish.

Talked to a very reliable source yesterday and he had a solid limit of largemouth caught shallow. Not a lot of bites, but quality bites.

Well you didn't catch a bunch of crappie, but it is still interesting to see the Livescope view. Where do you have the Livescope transducer mounted?

Yeah that was probably it. Just sent you a message, it should be there.

Nice one! For sure windy out there yesterday.

That's a very nice looking brown, congrats!

Well I'm 62, and have not yet heard any voices or have gone half-blind, is that going to happen soon? 😄

I have only fished it once and that was for a brief period of time, but it was good.

That area has been tough all year. I saw on the COE Facebook page that they had closed Indian to re-pave and it was supposed to be reopened last week, but apparently not. Did you see any stripers on top?

I have not heard of that one, I will have to look it up.
