Cape Fair 9/17

[cheesemaster]

I launched at 6:30am and tried a couple different banks that I don't normally fish. I caught 1 that went 14.5" in the first 10 minutes, but it was slow after that. Like I normally do - I started with a black Buzzbait and only had 2 shorts on it. 

Water temp was77.4 when I put in and it ended up at 76.4 when I left at 1:15pm. Visability was a couple feet.

I couldn't put much together. I caught a few here and few there. No keepers all day. I fished through the rain that lasted a few hours or more. I put 10 or 12 in the boat. I caught a double on a "deep little N". They were about 6" each. I caught a couple on a Mann's spinner bait, deep little N, rock crawler, buzzbait and a couple on a straight worm.

I caught my very first Table Rock walleye that went 17". I caught it on a Rock Crawler. That was pretty awesome!!

I ran across another poisonous snake. Not a good picture and I took a picture of these geese flying right over the top of me. I thought it was pretty cool.

Thanks for the report, cheesemaster. Donna and I are going tomorrow. I have a feeling we will find them as scattered as everyone else is reporting. Look forward to getting out on the water, though. It's time for some fall fishing.

Tell Vernon to leave his snakes at home.

Cheese, congratulations on the first Wally. Hard to lip land those, eh?

still not too bad for this time of the year.  the lake can fish really small this time of the year with the bass scattering and turnover beginning here and there.

For the love of God, please don't use Vernon and "snakes" in the same sentence!

I almost didn't even reopen this post to see what you said as it is!
