I don’t know who nearly everyone is. In my circle walleye is tops no matter how it is fixed. A good smoked trout is also up there. Crappie comes in third with smoked way better than fried.
Good for you. I figured you would be out there. We struggled to get 23 bass at Stockton today. 19 were brown fish. They were on bluffs which you know I don’t like.
Several years ago there was government regulations on accuracy more so than now. They even would change up the accuracy allowed without notice. That’s changed and accuracy is now within feet.
I also have the old Magellan with the topo map though I haven’t used it in years. It was the only game in town at the time. We used to geocache with it all over the midwest.
I got a message from a guy who had his boat in A dock. It has been recovered. It was upside down and the box latches were broken. Both consoles are destroyed. I don’t think insurance has been involved yet.
It’s going to be a big operation to get them back in place, reanchored, and the walk ways rebuilt. Some of those barge boats that we occasionally see may come in handy.
There was also damage in Woolly and Bearden.
I heard about this and thought that I would try it. I use it putting gasoline in my lawn mowers and power washer. I’ve been giving them to my son-in-law and grandson. They are cheap but work great. It’s called a liquid transfer pump.
I’m sure glad that I’m not a walleye fisherman or this morning would have ruined my reputation. I knew that I was jinxing us by taking a fillet knife and ice but I just couldn’t resist. They are strictly accident fish for me and we didn’t have that kind of accident today.
However, it was a mostly cloudy morning with a light shower or two so the temp was pretty good for most of the time we were out. With the amount of boats which we saw I’m sure the lake will be a madhouse for the next few days. But I am glad that we got out. Thanks Jeff.
Jeff met me at 05:30 this morning. We headed to the not hot spot. This place has been very good for several trips but not a bite today. So we started pecking and scratching. We got one here and there on jigs and Crigs. Only 2 of the regular places produced. We caught some of each of the three regular bass species. We wound up with 16 three of them keeper lmb. They were on rocky banks and points, but not deep.
The air was 71° when we arrived and 82° when we departed. Everywhere we went the water showed 86°.
We have a couple of dnr ladies who come to our farm every spring and check on the bats and the blind salamanders. That’s fine with me as they are also mapping the cave since we have people wanting to build homes on top of the hill.
We have caught them on the main lake and in large coves but not in the back. I rarely go to the back of a cove. The main lake fish have been on flat banks outside of coves. The inside ones have been around rocks and ledges.
