Quillback Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Dutch and myself put in at Big M at 0530 loaded for walleye. After fishing the ends of several docks that were over deep water, and a few other deep places we realized we weren't going to catch any walleye so we bass fished for a couple of hours. There's one little pocket that holds bass this time of year, we pulled several out of that spot on top waters, jigs and the c-rig and that was the best action we had all morning. We were pulling up at the dock about 10 AM as the temps were rising and the pleasure boats were swarming. We caught 9 Kentucks, 2 of them were keepers. Lots of vehicles heading in the direction of the Rock as I was driving home. Going to be a busy holiday weekend I reckon.

Dutch Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I’m sure glad that I’m not a walleye fisherman or this morning would have ruined my reputation. I knew that I was jinxing us by taking a fillet knife and ice but I just couldn’t resist. They are strictly accident fish for me and we didn’t have that kind of accident today. However, it was a mostly cloudy morning with a light shower or two so the temp was pretty good for most of the time we were out. With the amount of boats which we saw I’m sure the lake will be a madhouse for the next few days. But I am glad that we got out. Thanks Jeff. m&m, Quillback and vernon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Gentlemen, not every year is the same. Not every day is the same. You need an expert guide. Hint, hint. dan hufferd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WT 86 Gotta leave bass tackle at the house and force yourself walleye or bust. Gone but not forgotten Martin Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a skillet on a fishing trip does the same thing. 😂 Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
