zander Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Went out to the Powersite tonight with a bunch of new Rogue's and high hopes of big walleye. The bite was fast and furious but it was from mosquitos. I stayed out there the longest. Something blew up on my yellow perch colored rogue as it sat still on the surface but missed it, never did hit it again. The fellow fishing next to me was using a weedless white grub twisty tail about 3 1/2 inches long and he caught the only fish I saw. It was a 2 1/2 to 3 lb bass. He called it a smallmouth, but it was not a smallmouth, maybe it was a Kentucky as it was not a largemouth either (it was dark). He flipped it back. Skeeters ran me off around 11 PM. The water is still too high to go up by the generator side. Maybe when it drops back down I'll go out again. Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wildside88 Posted July 24, 2007 Members Share Posted July 24, 2007 Went with a budy last night, had a pretty good fish on and was bring it into the boat when it got off. Was the only action we had all evening. The water was high, and moving pretty fast out of the dam, there was alot of grass in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownieman Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 would suspect possibly the grass in the water is the results of the trickle effect from the taney drawdown...all that debris has to end up somewhere downstream...just a thought. Have you tried bottom bouncers with night crawlers...often they will catch walleye's when nothing else will for they are a suspended species by nature. bm My friends say I'm a douche bag ??

Members Wildside88 Posted July 25, 2007 Members Share Posted July 25, 2007 No I have not tried that, how are you fishing the night crawlers, are you setting them up like a Carolina Rig or are you just letting the set on the bottom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
