Every Body Quit Fishing?

interesting. All I can say is,the fish are there.

Got out this am and fished from 6 am to 1 pm, pretty slow bite, as I have been hearing, but did ok. ended up catching 6 walleye, with 2 being legal ( 19 & 21 ) Short fish have been very small this year. Trolling Bright cranks in 30 to 35 ft of water did best. fish seem to be all scattered, as I have not been able to catch more than 1 fish at a spot. And not marking many fish either. Going to try the DC area this week, hopefully find some!

Good report, Jeff. This was outta K Dock, I presume. The lack of "show" on sonar concerns me. Question: Were you scratching bottom in 30-35 feet, or were the fish up a bit? Thanks--good to hear from you.

Hey Mike, Good to hear from you also! Pretty much scratching bottom. I knew I was staying close by the amount of snags I had. And most of my fish were coming on the outside rod. Yes I have been concerned by the lack of SHOW also! Seems like overall #s of walleye are down? Hope I am wrong! Stone 9-7=2,I am curious about your post saying that the fish are there! Can you share some info or your opinion on that to build my confidence back up! Thanks!

It may not help,as I fish different than you guys. I basically only fish @ night w/underwater lights.(many yrs). All I was saying was,the fish are there & we still do well with this type of fishing.

Thanks Stone, It is something at times when the fish just show up after dark! I am from WI. and did a fair amount of night walleye fishing (usually in the spring ) and the #s of fish were really something at times! But then again these fish will travel a long way to a certain spot! Heading to DC area tomorrow am.

Fished from 6:30 am to 1:30 pm today. beautiful morning, but the bite was slow. first 4 hrs only had 2 drum and 2 bass. Then found 2 nice walleye ( 22 & 24 in ) on a deep channel shoal edge. working the 35 ft range. and then only 1 more bass to finish the day. Still not much for show on the sonar? Slow day, but just nice to get out! Good luck!
