Members kmastr1 Posted July 1, 2019 Members Posted July 1, 2019 Fished the last two days and bite seems to be pretty consistent. We are drop shoting long gravel points in about 18 to 30 ft of water. Catching around 50+ fish per day w a couple nice 24/26" walleye each day. Ended up w 14 bass over 15" on Sat and 17 bass over 15" today. Biggest was 4lb largemouth. Best tip I can give is get some orange die and dip whatever plastic you use. All these fish are full of crawdads that are green w orange/red tip claws. Also if you dont have a penoptix livescope you are really missing out if you love to drop shot. Almost to the point where I can tell you what specie fish you will catch and exactly when it hits before you even know it. Pretty cool technology. Also can instantly change your depth to catch suspended fish. Would post pics of walleye but don't know how. Quillback, magicwormman, merc1997 Bo and 2 others 5
Members BassPastor Posted July 1, 2019 Members Posted July 1, 2019 Sounds like a good couple days. I agree on Panoptix. I don’t have it but my tourney partner does. Can I ask what areas of the lake you were fishing? Going to try the die trick. Anything to get a few extra bites.

Bill Babler Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 50 fish per day right now is simply tremendous success, especially on soft plastic, live scope or no. You all were on the right deal on the right points as they are just not on every point you fish. The guides that fish here 365 are having no where near that 50 number per day and most are fishing live bait so congrats and just an amazing couple of days of fishing., slothman, Champ188, magicwormman and 2 others 4 1 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Members kmastr1 Posted July 1, 2019 Author Members Posted July 1, 2019 Thanks Bill, Always enjoy reading your reports. We have been coming down this same week for the last 25 years and are used to 100+ fish days consistently, this year is much slower. Especially for the walleye. The walleye fishing the last 5 years on this lake has been fantastic. However we did venture up the James today all the way past pt 12 and there was a decent amount of debris and not much action. Seemed like water was stagnant up there. We only caught 14 fish w 2 keepers. Might have to try flipin the bushes. Any reports down by the dam?
