Still fishing Farmers?  Im more interested in the yellows than the eyes.  We did well the last time, but thats been almost 2 weeks.

Just as good I'd say....

Bob, thanks for the info.  My grandson and I fished a bit west almost out from Dodges but not quite.  Few permanent houses there.  Managed 3 13" eyes and and one 10" yellow in 10fow from 4 -6pm, vertical jig with whole minnow is all they would bite, when they would bite.  Marked fish and had them look but the bite wasn't goin on.  FYI, over a week ago I fished North east of the Island a bit and half way across the lake almost, caught 17 keeper eyes in 1 hr.  They were hungry and I was sitting right on top of them.  Saw a lot of shacks by the open water north of Farmers this evening.  Good luck on the move and keep us posted..  thanks again,   Tom

Tom,

We are straight out from the DNR building 6/10s of a mile. Right past where the tournament was.
Bayside is where the old amusement park used to be. We're a bit west of that. Good luck!

I am out about where you are, off bayside. Ive been staying out there the last few nights, and picking up lots of small walleyes through out the night and a few yellows. I think its a little to cold to stay out tonight but i will be back out tomorrow. Good luck.

hey Bob.  Last time I was out all night, the walleye bite started at midnight.  But I think it just a matter of where you are and if their moving thru.  Wonder if all the shacks by the aerator are doing anygood.  Have you heard anything? 

tight lines..........   Tom
