Fishing Report 9/26/10

[Mike Worley]

Keeper Walleyes are showing up more on crawler rigs. Contour trolling bottom bouncers with slow death spinner rigs in 30-40 FOW is working well. Walleyes are positioned on the main lake and creek channel points and seem to be most active in the afternoon till just before sunset which might be due to the past weeks full moon cycle. Some of the main lake brush piles are also holding good numbers of all species of fish and we have been catching them on spoons. Trolling shad type lures in the zone on leadcore is still catching Walleyes, Crappies & Bass. White Bass are schooling and blowing up on some days but spooning them is working just about any time you mark a school on your depth finder with most being in 30-70 FOW. Split shotting nightcrawlers has worked this week in 60'+ for some really nice sized Spotted Bass. Water temps this past week creeped back up to the lower 80's due to some pretty warm weather & south winds. Looks like a weather change is arriving this week with fall like temps & north winds which should get the water temp back in the 70's which should get the shad moving shallower and into the creeks and larger coves and bays again.
