rps Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I went out this morning and decided I didn't want to fish deep water. I went where there isn't any. I started about a mile below Houseman and fished down maybe two miles. Surface temp was 82. I tried the Matzuo Death Roll hooks behind a smile blade with a whole nightcrawler. The Matzuo hooks are superior to the Mustad Slow Death hooks. I caught 10 or 12 bass that went back in the river and 4 walleye. One of the walleye was 20 inches. Another almost measured. I was back at the dock by 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ188 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Any of the bass keepers, rps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Two would have measured and a third, a smallmouth, nearly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ188 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 There are some whopper LM caught up there every year during the hot summer months. I think they go up there for the cooler water temps. A friend of mine won the first Oakley KVD Big Bass derby up there two years ago on a buzz bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
