Hi Slapshot, I fished with a friend today from 1 till 8 pm. Out of the Catt in 70 to 80 fow. Boated 9 and lost 5 or 6 more. Biggest 2 were 25 inches. Leadcore 7 to 9 colors. Harnesses. Good luck.
That's great news about Sturgeon Point launch opening on July 15th. I wonder what changed. Thought it wasn't going to open this season. Thanks for the heads-up.
Water is not as deep out from Point Breeze as it is out of the Catt and west... start looking for other boats. That will help get you in the area. Try looking in 60 to 70 feet. Good luck.
Fished yesterday afternoon and evening. Towed a guy in who was stranded out in 70 fow which delayed our fishing for about 3 hours. Bite had slowed by the time we got started. Ended up with 4 walleye and 5 nice perch. Nice afternoon regardless.
Fished west of Sturgeon Point yesterday in 58 to 78 fow from 3:30 pm till dark. Had areas of good marks but unfortunately they were not biting for me and my daughter. Zero, zip, nada. Oh well it was a beautiful day. Tried harnesses, spoons and Bomber long A in northern lights. Lake was very empty... no boats. Got as far west as the Catt. Next time I will make them pay!
Thanks. Very good. I had been running 2 dipsies and that keeps me busy enough. Just got 2 10 color lead setups ready to go. I think they will be easier to run than the dipsies. My boat is a little squirrely to steer with 2 drift socks to keep speed down in the walleye zone.
That's a good question mike... over the last 6 years that I have been a member it has had some slow periods and seems to pick up as August and September arrive. There have been a few people I have noticed who like to quickly criticize others for sharing a their good reports or asking for help on where or how. That can suppress posting. I have enjoyed this forum and the LOU forum and have learned a lot about walleye fishing on here from some great people and fishermen. This year I have only been able to get out once so far in July due to family weddings. I shared my report.
Hopefully this is just a slow stretch and things will pick up again. I think that the tournaments also tend to quiet this forum down and keep people from sharing especially in July. This year I set up separate threads for the major launch port areas and it seems that this old thread from last year has become the most active one recently. I will be getting out in August and September and look forward to posting, sharing and reading reports from others.
Good luck!
Good job J. Sparrow!
Also made the first trip of the season with a friend today. We caught 3 eyes (24, 25, 25 inches), a white bass, yellow perch and a number of sheephead. Went out toward the line west of Point Abino. Got all fish rod in hand on harnesses. Fished from 3:30 pm till dark.
