walleyerich

Fished yesterday - caught two limits of crappie on flicker shads. Fish were suspended over 40 feet of water - 15-20 feet down. All females with eggs - 10 to 13 inches in length. Caught two limits of walleye - all off one point - 20 feet deep right on the bottom - same thing - flicker shads. Largest walleye was 20 inches.

PD - we caught a pretty nice bag of walleye during that crappie tournament. Solid fish.

What is the address for you blog?

Had a blast. Couldn't get away this weekend. Anxious to try again!

When I started walleye fishing all of the walleye guys I met would give information freely. It is not unusual for a walleye guy to tell you exactly where they have been fishing, what bait has worked the best, etc. Bass guys...not so much. Why is that?

Half a crawler, thread on a small hook and drag on the bottom.

Take half a crawler, put on a small hook and drag on the bottom.

Ever fish the Little Blue?

Went yesterday for the first time on Mozingo. This is a great little lake. We caught our lone walleye in 24 feet of water - crawler/spinner. Caught four - 3 to 4 pound lm, 2 crappie, and a zillion large bluegill. Definately want to try this lake in the Spring.

Every lake is the same. My place at Pomme was CLEANED out! They took fishing poles, tv, lures, air rifle, copper from underneath the cabin. Getting ready to sell the place next Spring.

Everytime I fish with Powerdive that's all we catch...bass. That fish was no accident!

I have seen this boat and it is in great shape.

Same cat?

I like medium action for walleye spoons and jigging raps. Too bad I snapped my favorite rod on the Eleven Point last month trying to get out of Halls Bay.

Most leadcore rods are nothing special and usually on the cheap side. I use Cabelas rods @ $30.00 each and they work just fine. Bringing in a walleye with leadcore is like reeling in a boot full of water (as my friend would say).

Zac - read my previous post.

Had a great tournament yesterday. It was good meeting Eyeman and Kwall after the tournament. Did you talk Lee into having a ride along tournament? Report - We started the tournament morning fishing the large point by Masters Island. Trolled leadcore in 20' of water. Caught about 20-25 walleyes - only three keepers the largest being 16 inches (it was caught in 15' of water). We found prefishing that the more agressive cranks like flicker shads and reef runners weren't working nearly as well. Nearly every morning fish came of the Cabelas knock off of a shad rap in the bright green color. We also caught two channel cats, about 8-10 crappie (all large and the biggest being aroun 14"), whites, and largemouth. We actually caught a large shad on one of the crankbaits and didn't know it until one of the shorty trolling rods doubled over. We got the fish about fifty feet from the boat when the fish released the shad we had caught. I am guessing we had a very large flat head on briefly. With about two hours to go left in the tournament we went over and fished a spot on the flats. We filled out our tournament limit there with the largest being about a 19" walleye. We caught about 10 more walleye on the flats. Eighteen feet of water with a slow death rig with a half of a crawler. We bottom bounced at about .8 mph - a little faster than I normally go, but it seemed to work. The tournament winners - Dale and Terry - weighed in four fish, but they had a large kicker fish (about four pounds). I believe they sat on a specific spot on the flats the whole day and jigged night crawlers. They are a very good team and they have won the last three tournaments on Stockton. Probably done going to Stockton until the winter fishing kicks in.

That sounds like fun to me.

I am fishing the tournament and I will take pointers from anyone willing to give. I hope the fishing gets better for me than Saturday with PD.

The eggs are kinda chewy...If you catch a few hundred bass worth you can put them in a stew.

The big female bass taste the best. Especially when you catch them off of their beds in the Spring.

I eat every legal bass I catch.

What kind of fish are you looking for?
