3.18.21

Some weird stuff man, so this week I found out you can readily catch cisco and lake whitefish in lewis and clark bay using silver spoon type baits like a swedish pimple or kastmaster jigging spoon. We got several over many days in roughly 7 feet of water but I also found them in deeper water too. The whitefish tended on the bottom while the cisco tended higher into water column all the way to just under the ice. Fun times though and apparently really good eating.

We also caught a random walleye in the bay on a swedish pimple, kinda cool it was a good size at 19.5 in

1.17.21 Trenton Catfish!

Trenton fishing, tried out a spot I have been seeing people at a lot lately, let’s call it the point. It’s the end of the center bank on the far side of the lake right off the sunken tree line. We were fishing from 6 to 9 feet, the basin was 9 ft, and then it jump up to shallow right near shore. We got fish in all areas but right on that ledge seemed really good. Caught lots of fish, pike, walleye, catfish, crappie, and white bass. The “squid” rattle spoon in rainbow worked great.

We caught fish all day, was calm and around 25 degrees. Day before was crazy warm and pretty windy.

Hunts Along Bay 7.11.20

Took the boat out of 4 bears down to Hunts Along bay today for the first time looking for smallies. Did not find many of them, 3 total on the day, but did catch a lot of 12-16 inch walleye in 9 to 12 ft of water on spinners and worms. Also lots of small pike. Water was stained but not bad. It was also a large fishing tourney today where they did catch bigger fish so just gotta find them.

We kept 6 of those smaller eyes, along with a drum, 2 white bass, 1 smallmouth, 2 perch.

6.21.20 father’s day!

Father’s Day! Went to Van hook this time and fished the northern most part of the arm and the west side. Learned some things,caught some fish, including 3 catfish on rattletraps! Biggest was a pike at 10 lbs.

Water was not as clear as I thought it would be and the river portion we drove over looked pretty muddy too but I’m not sure.

5.2.20 Amanda’s big walleye

Took the boat out with amanda, was a nice 70 degree day but was pretty windy. Water temp was 52 degrees. We only got 1 walley in 8 ft of water on a green Lindy minnow and that was this 7 lb whopper for amanda. Otherwise we caught some small pike and white bass. Was pretty slow for everyone it seemed.

4.21.20 Lunds

Went back to lunds again on the 19th and got next to nothing. It was colder and sunny. Today though it was our first 70 degree and warm day with warmer windy days the last 3 and it paid off! I must have caught 20 white bass and a 20 inch walleye. Rooke also got a nice 8 lb pike.

I also got my first pike on the fly!! And on my fly

Lunds 2.15.20

Went out to Lunds to try and find some big pike that might be there this time of year. Ended up having a good day overall, with most of our fish coming during mid day, 2-3 ish. Got 2 walleye, 3 pike, and a eelpout! Fishing in 7-12 feet of water out on the west end of the bay near the opening with the submerged stumps. Seemed like a good spot, but only got 1 big pike at 12 lbs.
