Went out yesterday around 6am!!! And fishing seemed like it was going to be pretty good despite the weather however wind from 6-8am was pretty bad. Then the rest of the day until 10am we only picked up a few perch! Had a few nice bites but the boat was bucking so hard from steep waves that missed em. But got soaked and despite all the bad weather still pretty fun day.

Went out today this morning and caught one nice 20+ inch eye and missed quite a few! Brought in a few nice perch, and picked up 2 decent smallmouths all around 16-22 ft of water near trees seems to be where we have been having luck.

Went to the east end early 5 Aug. Cast along Hwy 83 found only 2 small mouth bass, Went looking and found a large ball of smelt with some hooks around it in 35 feet of water. Put down a reefrunner and on the first pass got a 19 inch walleye, Second pass hard hit that broke the line. Third pass hooked a heavy fish but lost it about half way to boat. Turned around to go back over it and the only other boat on the east end was about half a mile away and ran right to the spot where I had the hits and started backtrolling then going forward across where I had been trolling. I went looking for other fish and found nothing. I have read about this happening to others on here but that was the first time that anyone did it to me and I have been fishing that lake for 35 years.

Well I was out early again since thats the bite I'm on right now. Fishing was good again. Fished the same long tree point with fish all the way up and down the point. Fish came in 12 to 15 feet today. I had to really zig and zag up and down the break to get fish to bite. Number 7 shad raps and Salmo Hornets did the work today. I also managed to catch a few white bass and couple smallies today as well.

I got out early again today. I started in the spots that have produced for me so far, but I didn't get bite. I moved around and found a long tree point and pulled cranks along the edge. The bite was on after that. First fish was a 12 lb northern then followed a bunch of 20 plus inch walleyes to fill the well; I was done by 9:30.
You could see towards the West that some weather was moving in. By the time I got home its looking pretty gray in the west. So Im glad the fishing was quick. Bite was really good fish hit hard and fought all the way to the boat. Number 7 shad raps in 15 feet of water worked for me. Alot of people fishing with live bait yet. I havent tried bait but the cranks are workin for me. |

The fishing's good on the west end! The water has cleared and the lake is spectacular! I went out of Tobacco Gardens on Tuesday and Wednesday and limited both days on fat, healthy walleyes. 13 FOW with structure held the 'eyes. L'il Reef Runners or other small deep running cranks at 2.7+ mph.
Good luck out there! |
