RSBreth Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 My in-laws neighbor has caught several smaller Walleye this week right off their dock in Beaver Cove. (Between the Clifty's, near point 5) Those are some nice Stripers!
Quillback Posted September 6, 2009 Author Posted September 6, 2009 Nice bunch of fish! Glad to hear you guys got into them.
mclothier1 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Yes the trip was awesome! had a great time. Also... while fishing from the dock I caught something that I have no idea what it is? I was trying to catch a few bluegill with a worm and ended up catching a little 4" long fish that was real slender kinda like a gar, but its head and mouth didnt look like a gar, and it had very prominent vertical stripes. Don couldnt remember what they were called.
mclothier1 Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 I think you are right, I searched "log perch" and came up with this... Which looks pretty much the same as the one I caught.
zarraspook Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 ""Just got back.... WOW!!! what a day!!!!! My two sons, and my Dad and I hit the water with Don (Beaver fever guides) just a lil before 6am, took a short boat ride, dropped lines and we were done by 7:30am with a full limit of nice Stripers. Biggest one went 18 lbs. plus we had a couple more that went 15 or so, and the rest were 10 to 12 pound."" To better understand the current fish movement ... How deep were the fish ?? 1-10 feet, 10-20 feet, 20-40 feet or deeper ??? Thanks, Mike "Look up OPTIMIST in the dictionary - there is a picture of a fishing boat being launched"
mclothier1 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I snuck a peek at the fishfinder... and it appeared the majority of the fish were hanging out around 25' in 35 to 40 feet of water. The cove we were in also had ridges... or points that extended into the cove and it seemed like we saw balls of baitfish on top of the ridges, followed by massive schools of Striper. At one point Don looked the the finder and said something like "Wow you gotta see this" and when I looked at the screen... it was just FILLED with fish, thats when things got crazy! Oh... And I wish I would have brought my rod with the Spook, they were hitting topwater all around us.
