6/28 Upper End

[rps]

I fished 6:30 to noon today. I had my top water rod on my deck in case, but I never needed it.

To begin, I tried two new locations between Holiday Island and Eagle Rock. Both are within sight of areas that have given up walleye year after year. No joy. I motored down to the Eagle Rock area and caught six walleye on a channel edge fishing 26 to 30 feet of water right next to water 50+ feet deep. While catching the walleye I caught 10 to 12 bass, two of which would have counted as keepers.

Two of the walleye were keepers, 22 and 18.5 inches.

As a heads up for the serious bass fishermen, when I came in I found a wolf pack of a dozen bass cruising under the dock slips

Nice fish. Glad to see you see you are finding some fish. That makes for some fine eating.

Nice going, R.

Very good--thanks for the report.

I'm wondering if down lake may be better than above the island now. Is that the summer pattern--the walleyes heading back down lake?

Very nice!

Chuck, my HI guru who passed away last summer, often fished above Beavertown all year long. I have caught fish up there as late as July.

Great job. Thanks for the report.

Been a great weekend for the walleye guys.
