SUBJECT    :Walleye on WAXIE
REPORTER : DaLegend
POSTED      : 13:44:22 02/05/2002
I fished Archibald for a few hours last Sat. We had some luck by the islands on the launch side. We will be there again this weekend. The Norhterns we caught were in deep water over 20 feet. We also managed 1 19" walleye before dark on a waxworm. I looked on lake link and there was a report of some Walleye being caught on small shiners. I am going to try some smaller lake shiners on tip-ups this weekend. Wondering if the clear water and pressure has the Walleye wanting smaller baits?
I would like to move around some more this time but not sure where to try.
Any suggestions?

Fished from 7am til 8pm, struggled to get much of anything. Was able to catch some panfish and sadly only a few snakes. No walleyes. Anyone else have any luck?

Lake was almost froze over completely on 12/20/2001. People were creeping out on the bays in search of walleyes. The action was slim to none so far this year. Ice was anywhere from 6 inches to 2 inches in the bays.

Went out last Thursday from around noon til about 8:15 in the evening and went 6 for 8 with tip ups. Caught 5 hammerhandles and one nice size 22 inch walleye. Fished a little too deep I believe.

Tight lines!

SUBJECT    :Pike
REPORTER : Scott
POSTED      : 06:43:42 12/14/2000
I think you could catch pike all around the lake.
There are a lot of hammer handles.

SUBJECT    :Pike?
REPORTER : J.T.
POSTED      : 18:20:23 12/12/2000
Hey Scott or Big Pete,
I'm going to try Archi for the first time probably next week sometime. How's the pike fishing during the day by the boat landing and/or the first islands? Thanks!

SUBJECT    :Archi hot spots
REPORTER : Scott
POSTED      : 11:30:29 12/08/2000
Try fishing in the bay by the boat landing... anywhere
in 7-15 feet of water has been real productive. The islands in the first lake are a hot spot. Use large golden shiners and light line like 12lb or less.
