Weekend Report

[sms_alum]

Fished a few hours Friday night and found a nice mixed bag of fish fishing the twin bridges area and the flats. Saturday morning was tuff but we focused on bass fishing early. We tried to stay off the lake during the heat of the day and went back out Saturday evening. Sunday morning caught a few bass off the bridge pilars but only one keeper, mostly short kentucky's.

We did catch more walleye this trip than I ever have in a few day period. We had probably 20 over the weekend, but hardly any keepers. They are mainly in the 12-14 1/2 inch range. All came on crank baits in the 15-22 foot range. Mostly long line trolling. Caught several whites in the evenings, but never found them on top. Also, had some channels, bluegil, and largemouth trolling. Not one crappie caught all weekend.

Lake was busy this weekend but everyone seemed nice and friendly. We had hoped the whites would be ganged up and on top when we planned the trip but they are probably a week or two away.

Nice report. I'm with you on the whites they should be surfacing good morning and evening by no. Don't know what is up with the whites this summer. They should start anytime lake wide. Good top water bite in fall as well.
