Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 17, 2006 Root Admin Posted March 17, 2006 Talked to Quinton- MDC shocked last week and there were "walleye everywhere". He said they were catching them mostly at night. No other details. It's been very quiet on this forum on pothole walleye- I guess those that know don't want the word out!! It's out! Please, if you go let us know what's going on.
vonreed Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Hello Phil, I was just curious, did they shock all the walleye in the actual pothole itself or downstream? the last time I was down that way it was pretty small, I was thinking about going down there tonight for some bank fishing and then I seen your post and was surprised to hear the walleye report. thanks.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 17, 2006 Author Root Admin Posted March 17, 2006 They usually shock as far upstream as they can go down to the Barker Hole but they are not tagging and don't need that many so hard to say where they went. But fishing has been very good at night- so says Quinton. Haven't talked to any actual fisherpeople.
vonreed Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 I just got in from fishing this evening down at the barker hole. I caught l 16 inch walleye, lost a white bass and lost a big walleye, probably go 5 pounds or better. Just wasn't my day. On the other side I did freeze half to death,lol.
Wayne SW/MO Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 vonreed, were you on the water or land? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
vonreed Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I started out at barker just fishing off the bank, then went upstream and talked to a guy getting ready to put a little jon in and he offered so I went with him. we just stayed above barker though, didn't go far. I caught a few whites tonight at swan creek. there seems to be a few in there to catch now.
Fish Bork Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I'm gonna try to go down there tomorrow night any tips on what I can expect and what to use. Gonna try some floating raps any color preference? Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Wayne SW/MO Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 I can only tell you what others tell me, I rarely catch anything because they always come up after my bed time, but Clown is popular as is White. Jerkbaits seen to be the lure of choice. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Members Skeeter Jr. Posted March 22, 2006 Members Posted March 22, 2006 We went down Friday night and did some fishing. All we caught after dark was a crappie and this one. 22 1/2 inchs. I would have to say it was a female. We did catch one short during the day. Also for those that are interested i think the white bass are starting to run, my dad and sister were out saturday and they were catching some nice ones.
Wayne SW/MO Posted March 22, 2006 Posted March 22, 2006 Skeeter, did they get the Whites in the lake, creeks or the pothole area? Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
