Bassrat, I really wish you could make it as you were one of the first guys to help me out with fishing that lake. I might just make a special trip in a week or so just to hook up with you

I will probably be out there before everyone gets there. I think I have about four others to bring. I'll be in a grey wheelhouse about a mile south of north ramp by campground. Look me up. Got Metalworkz on side.

only 5 set up on north end thursday night. i didn't fish. so no report there. the lake looked pretty good for driving on the paths. i went about 3/4 mile south of north ramp. went to handicap jetty on west side and didn't see anyone to the north south or east. but we caught fish last week and went 3 diff. times. fished 30' of water. fish were on bottom and up. if something comes in at 10' up reel up to it as these were crappie and they were bittin. i have to work all weekend so i can't make it either. i'll try to fish this evening and report back then. oh ya the bite is better at dawn and dusk. i'm sure that is why metalworkz is going early. grizz

not much to report. my finder wouldn't work so i fished blind about an hour off bridge no. 1. wind blew most of the night here so i'm sure there are some drifts on the lake because there is in my driveway. good luck to all and our best luck was to keep moving till we found active fish 25' to 30' of water most caught on waxies for me anyhow. grizz

So I know some of the guys are still out there but I will give a summary report.

I believe we had a good turn out although I think it would have been better if the weather wasn't So rough.
There were some good fish caught and one really good one as seen in the pic on the previous page. Congrats to catmandude on an extremely nice fish. Even though I think I was a little generous of the weight estimate lol.
Jamie thanks for letting me try that rod I am definitely going to give those guys a call. Pm me and I will get you my address as I forgot on the way out.
It was great to get to meet you guys and I am already planning next year.
Thanks to all who showed up and you guys are the reason I want to do it all again. I will be posting pics later on and invite all you who took them to post up. If you need to pm me and I will post them for you.

What an awesome day out on the ice! I came home and wrapped the eye up in a soaking wet towel like you guys recommended and then gently stuck him in the Freezer. Anybody have a good taxidermist they would personally recommend? Can't wait to get together and do this next year!

Rough weather,,,, That's putting it mildly.  Nobody was outside their shelter any longer than they had to be.

I'd shave about three pounds off that walleye and  call it  closer to 6lbs rather than 9lbs.  Still a very nice walleye and nice job getting it up to the ice using 2lb. line.
