Tuesday evening

[Blll]

Well I've said any posting is better than none so here goes. Fished 6pm-9pm. Pulled crawler rigs around Bear Island. 1st fish was a 2# spot so I had hope. wound up with 6 fish, 3 spots, walleye, channel cat and striper. I don't think the 5 last fish combined weighted 2#. For what its worth, real crawler out fished gulp crawler 5 to 1. 20' -30'. Had the whole lake to ourselves. Beautiful night, wt dropped to 86 from Saturday 91. Marked tons of fish. Beat watching tv.

Really wish I could have made it out tonight. I plan on going tomorrow evening prob 6-10ish. If the rain holds off.

Good to hear you were on some fish at least! Even slow, time on the water is hard to beat. I hope to get back out soon my self. As for the weather tomorrow, I would be careful champ, weather just said possible strong storms around the evening time, but who knows could miss us!

[bc23champ]

Yeah. Radar looks clean now after the rain. I'm hopin to get a good shallow bite tonight in the bushes after this rain. Maybe a spinnerbait kinda night.

Storms were ahead of schedule. Funny how that works out when I can't get out! Haha. A shallow bite would be awesome, goodluck!

Well so much for storms ahead of schedule. Got caught on the water for this evenings storms. No docks to be found so I just fished through it lol. Really thought I might get a spinner bite but nothing !! Caught 3 short bass and a couple blue gill.

Let me as you guys this question. Anybody catch a lot of small bluegill on crankbaits ?? I've caught 4-5 lately on crankbaits as big as they are almost. Does this mean anything ? Should I change colors. If there are bluegill around should I change locations ?? Or are they a good sign?

[RyanG]

Isn't that the luck of it, spoke too soon about te weather. Haha. I catch quite a few little bluegill actually. As to the meaning behind it? I have no real idea. When the water isn't so high I usually find schools of shallow bass feeding on them so usually I would say it wouldn't hurt to throw something to imitate one. But, those shallow fish are inconsistent on a good year anyways. At least for me, others may have a better idea.

I know right !! Those storms just popped up. I didn't have any lightning where I was just hard rain couldn't believe not getti. Anything on the spinner during the rain. I may try that next time I get out. Gonna try and spend the day Monday on the water I really wanna focus on deeper docks during the day and see if that does anything. Flipping around

[RyanG]

If I was gonna go out in the next week or so, which hopefully I will, I would drop shot deep docks, points and bluffs. Maybe throw a shakey head as well. Last I was out, that's what I had to do. Deep water is out of my comfort zone, so I need the practice. If you find some suspended fish, might try one of those fish head spins.

[bc23champ]

Yeah that's kinda my plan. I need lots of practice on the drop shot. Don't mind fishing deep if I can crank some. Gonna try some big worms maybe jig some too. I definitely plan on spending all day Monday on the water though.
