16 June Upper End

[rps]

Actually, I went out June 14 as well but had nothing worth reporting. I very nearly had nothing to say about today, but two things worth noting.

First, I caught a bass on a top water. It was only the one and it wasn't very big, but I caught a bass on a top water!

Second, from 7:30 to 2:00 I fished hard for walleye. Shallow (10 feet) to deep (25 feet), trolled crankbaits and worm harnesses. I caught one 19 inch walleye on a brushy ridge line on a flat near the channel in 19 feet of water.

So, I wasn't skunked, but boy did I work hard for small return.

Water temps 76 to 78. Basically clear near Big M and green with much debris above Beavertown. That gives you some idea of the ground I covered to scrounge up one keeper walleye.

Better days are coming. Maybe. I hope.

Ouch! Thanks for the report, but at least you caught fish...and a keeper 'eye is nothing to shake off.

To me, right now in the lakes is the hardest time to catch fish. Spawn is done and summer time is not quite here, fish in the lakes are hard to find. Creeks and rivers are another matter altogether, it's prime if you ask me.
