walleye report

[eyeman]

fished from dam to above oakland . fished 8 to 25 feet with bottom bouncers . only had one keeper and a few shorts. fishing was slow and only marked few fish . some banks were inundated with blue gills . had to use pork crawlers to keep them off and prevent rebating. all in all fun on the water but not the catching i was expecting.

Hopefully they will pick up I'm going to be at Bull this week. I'll try to report if internet is good staying at Buck Creek, haven't been in a while maybe it will get good

My plan is the same this weekend, but I'll focus on the 20-30fow range. 
Also look for suspended fish @25 in 50-80 fow.

My walleye mentor, RIP Chuck, always told me that catching bluegill was a good thing. That meant the walleye were near. I know it seems a waste, but use the night crawlers despite the walleye. They are far more likely to attract the species you want.
