YAKFM Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 3/28/15 Report Location: Mid Lake Air Temp: 62 Water Temp: 49-52 Visibility: 4-5 FOW Depth: 10-14 FOW Lures: Crankbait and Swimbait 4 Total Fish: 1 LM (16"), 1 Spot (16"), 1 SM (18"), 1 legal walleye (19") Fished mid-lake Saturday afternoon. The 4 fish that were caught were all on rock/gravel points in 10-14 FOW. The legal walleye came on a crankbait. The conditions were post frontal and the wind was out of the north at 15+. I didn't mark many fish on points or flats, but did find a large number of suspended fish in cuts over 30-35 FOW. 3/30/15 Report Location: Mid Lake Air Temp: 75 Water Temp: 52-57 Visibility: 2-3 FOW Depth: 14-18 FOW Lures: Crankbait 23 Total Fish: 1 LM (23"), 8 WB (up to 18"), 2 short walleye, 12 crappie + 2 (11-14.5") Fished mid-lake Monday afternoon. The fish were all caught in the same area in 14-18 FOW over and near brush piles. Had a large striper freight train me. Wind was swirling and strong at times today. The bite turned on around noon once the water temperature hit 54 F. Marked quite a bit of bait and fish today, in contrast to Saturday. Met Fins on the water and we fished in the same area for part of the afternoon. He donated 2 crappie to the total as he has a freezer full of them already. When I was loading up getting ready to head home Gary Yamamoto pulled up next to me. He was prefishing for FLW and he indicated it was a tough day for him. Nice guy and more than willing to chat. All bass were released. Lance34 1
J-Doc Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 What you do in a Yak.......... It's just incredible. And inspiring. One day this summer, I'm going to have to take you up on the offer to take your spare and see what it's about. Need marine repair? Send our own forum friend "fishinwrench" a message. He will treat you like family!!! I owe fishinwrench a lot of thanks. He has been a great mechanic with lots of patience!

One day this summer, I'm going to have to take you up on the offer to take your spare and see what it's about. I will remind you to eat your Wheaties before we go. I don't want to have to tow you back to the ramp late in the day.
Quillback Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That's some great fishing. Meeting GY is very cool.
nathanhooper Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That's pretty good there. I'm with Jdoc, you make it very tempting to try yak fishing.
Members Kyle R Posted March 31, 2015 Members Posted March 31, 2015 Are you using a billed or lipless crankbait? Are you casting or trolling it with your paddles?
YAKFM Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Are you using a billed or lipless crankbait? Are you casting or trolling it with your paddles? The past week I used billed crankbaits that dive 6-8 feet casting and 12-14 feet trolled. The later in year the deeper the diver I will typically use, although I will find fish with the electronics first, identify the depth they are holding, then match the lure to the desired depth. I cast, troll, and stroll with them, depending on the conditions. The crappie came trolling and the largemouth came strolling. The largemouth bite came after the lure made contact with the brush pile.
