Walleye Report

[MOPanfisher]

Dang I opted to not go to the dam on Saturday.  They are definitely not done spawning in the lake.  River fish in the river should be finishing up, but the lake spawned will be a while more yet.

 Just a novice tip here 

Yes    That can not all go to the bank at same time   I figure not enough shallows to support it   

But on the other hand   Not all spawn deep 

biggest contributor I have ever noticed is how the water withdrawal is handled  leading up to this

Great info! Thanks guys. I am heading there Tuesday and will report back.

Went Saturday evening around the dam. We had our two limits between 7:00 - 10:00. Biggest around 3.5 lbs. Stick baits. Two were still full of eggs. Lots of boats around there.

Didn't add the picture from Saturday evening at the time. Here is a shot.

NICE!  Looks like a few sows are showing up. Guess no nap in the big chair this evening, I will have to give it a shot.  Been there before and left empty handed or worse.  Last time I drove my old  fishing car with rods in passenger seat, as I reached over to get my coffee or a cigar or something a nice big sharp treble hook took a liking to my shirt sleeve and penetratef all the way through 2 layers of the sleeve on my right arm.  Now my right arm is restricted, can't get it loose with left hand finally got knife out and did a little surgery on the shirt sleeve, whereupon everything came loose nicely, and then fell down between the seats, leaving me to fish around for a multi hooked lure somewhat blindly, surprisingly it came out without snagging me or the seat.  Good times.

Well I tried.  Got there just before dark, saw several walleye caught, both to the left and to the right.  Finally caught a nice white bass, then got the "whack", right time and place, set the hook and it dove, shook its head a couple times then started to flex it muscles and said "I don't think so buddy" had it for about 10 seconds.  Don't know if I had a weak spot in my line, or it cut me on a rock or tooth, but poof it was gone and my jig with it.  Can't say for sure what it was but it was sure in the right place and time and had the  head shake of a walleye.  Caught one small 15 1/2 inch male a little while later, but was so dejected I released it and took my toys and left.  Did hear of a nice sow caught last night though I didn't see it.  Dang near made a big splash, knees not working as good anymore, and after standing in hip boots for an hour or so, when I turned to wade back my knee didn't want to do it, missed going backward into the chilly water by a gnat hair.  So goes it.  Come on crappie time, I can catch you critters.

To Dam cold

Fished Tuesday night 4-8 with no luck. Had to go in because the lights didn't work. Used stick baits along dam and the north point of the island.  Saw a Loon, which was sweet! Can't wait to try again.
