Ongoing TR for the week

[JestersHK]

Going to try and keep this post updated, as I hope to be fishing one way or another on Taney everyday this week.  

I went out last night around 11, but between the fog and dead batteries in my head lamp I turned in pretty quick after only a few bites.  

Going to try and get out today some, and hopefully have something picture worthy to share.  Water is still off from last night.

Last few nights were sloow.  Today was an interesting mixed bag o fish. 

Brother in law and I went out after they closed the gates.  We headed up by the cable and waded out as far as we could. We caught 2 nice walleye 1 on a jig other on a stick bait,  and about a 2lb Kentucky I think, and I hooked a real solid 20in+ rainbow on a stick as well.  All in about 2 hour span  

Lots of fish activity and surface hits. Saw a few more walleye swimming around too.  All fish were released.

Nice!

I'm enjoying your reports.  I was down Memorial week and had a big walleye chase a jig right up to me by the cable, twice.  He never fully committed.

Took a boat out today from Lilley's with my brother in law and my dad.  Only hooked a few but never got one in the boat.  Pops eyes are just about gone so he gets allot of help from me.  We had a good morning out on the water no matter what.  Going to hit it again tonight and hopefully have some more to share.  

Oh I forgot, we did catch some fish today, but they were bluegill and were in a small hand net at moon shine beach on gold fish crackers with the kiddos lol.

Looking forward to the rest of your reports. that is one fat spot for his size.

Yeah, had a huge belly on him.  Both the wall eye were pretty beat up like maybe they had just come over through the gates, and didn't fight very hard.  The bass and the bow were both peeling drag like crazy.  

Gearing up now to head down in a little bit, going to hit it again tonight!

Finished off the day on a good note. Caught some nice rainbows tonight.  Water was off so I could get out there a bit and hit the channel.  The girth on some of these fish are crazy.

First bow was a silver bullet that was jumping all over the place down by outlet 2. 

Moved down by the cable and started getting some just rod jarring hits on some decent rainbows. Picked up 2 more walleye tonight as well. 

All were caught on a white 1/8oz. jig which I was fast jigging with a pretty fast retrieve.

JHK - great reports and photos! You got me dreaming of heading down to Taneycomo. That spot was a football and you had some great healthy trout last night. Sounds like a great time. I appreciate that you were able to get your dad out. I have read your other posts and know that you enjoy taking time fishing with your family. Keep it going since those are memories that last.

Very nice I would love to catch some walleye while in waders. Thanks for the report.

I would do this with my kids then huge catfish showed up to eat the small bluegill.  Dropped a fluke in there and it was on.
