Big M 1/28

[Quillback]

Fished with board member Little Jasper (Joe) today out of Big M.  We started out fishing some stained water on some locations between point 23 and the mouth of the Kings, we didn't do much as far as numbers, but Joe got an LM about 3 lbs. on a jerk bait, and I caught a walleye that I didn't measure, but it was probably 21-22" long.   The wallie came on a Ned.

We moved upstream quite a ways to get into some clearer water, and we were able to get on some fish later in the afternoon that were deep around pole timber.  Didn't catch a lot, but by the end of the day we had around 15, with 3 that were keepers.  Ned and shaky head fish.

Water temps were 44-45.

not a bad day.  he called me last night.  he was kind of bummed to just have three keepers, but it most certainly was not a bad day for this time of year, and then throw in all the water changes with that.  it had to at least be great to just be out.

15 in january sounds like good numbers to me

I'm hoping to be out of eagle rock tomorrow. Its uncertain whether I can get my boat unstuck from the trailer!

 

Is it safe to assume the water is clearer here? I'm not expecting to set a record tomorrow, just enjoy a day on the water with one or both of my boys. 

[Quillback]

Yes 5 bites, the water is cleaner upriver.  We didn't go all the way to Eagle Rock, but I assume it's clean up there also.

Has anyone been up the Kings or James to see when or if the water clears?
