Fishing Report 8/17/11

[Mike Worley]

We fished out of Tucker Hollow Wenesday morning about 6:30AM. We found walleyes on the flats at about 32' and tried jigging spoons for a while with no bites. We switched to B/B crawler rigs and did much better with 6 nice keepers by noon. We also caught about six very small walleyes which shows that the spawn / stocking this year was a good one. After the sun got up pretty high the walleyes moved out into about 35'-38'.

We also fished out of Tucker Hollow both Tuesday and Wednesday. Did not fish all that long either day. Had a thunderstorm move through Tuesday, and then the heat won on Wednesday. Didn't mess much with bottom bouncers. Probably should have. Still trying to master the art of trolling crankbaits with planer boards. The information you, Rangerman, and several others have given on this board have now got me addicted! BTW, we were the gray Lund that kept trolling back and forth between Bee and Bear Creeks. I think that may have been you that passed us with the Bimini top around 1 PM.

As for report, we had three keeper walleyes between the two days. Probably had seven or so shorts...including a couple that were likely from this year's class. All were caught on Reef Runners in 25 to 40 fow. Caught them on several colors, but white and red/orange seemed to be the best.

We did not have the bimini top with us that day (wish I did) it really got hot. But I do remember seeing a gray Lund trolling that area. Were you trolling the big 800 Reef Runners?

Mike,

My mistake. Saw a couple of boats that morning on the flats next to Bear Creek. There was another one on Bee Creek island. Perhaps one of those was you.

Yeah was fishing the 800 series Reef Runners with braid.
