Today it was pink head/chart. green hair. But if the fall bite is anything like the spring bite, tomorrow will be a different color .
Gotta love that pink!!
One guide I spoke with had good luck on…
Minnows lindy rigged
Dubuque Rigs
BfishN Tackle Paddle Tails
Blades vertical jigged
He was fishing the dam area and ended up with a two man limit.
While we were up there cat fishing, it seemed like there was always a boat with a net out or a rod bent. I can’t comment on the size, but there were a lot of fish caught.
You are so right Moger. Colors change daily and sometimes a few times in one day!
Beautiful day to be on the water wasn’t it.
have a friend that stunk it up pretty good today up there. 2 eyes, but lost a giant boatside.
It was blades for us today. We used the smaller ones and fan casted. It was a good day considering Tucker’s depthfinder pooped out right away so we were fishing blind. So Tuck’s inthe market for a depthfinder around 5-10 years old. Give us a pm if you got one on the shelf collecting dust and wnat to part with it for some cash. He will make good use of it this winter.
It was a multi species day for me on Saturday, with walleye, sauger, catfish, sturgeon and drum. I caught two decent cats and a 40 inch+/- sturgeon trolling the channel with flicker shads on leadcore. Boy were they crushing the cranks!
Managed a couple of walleyes and enough saugers to keep me interested. One of the walleyes was a nice mid twenty inch fish. Fished the main channel from dam to head of the lake, just couldn’t find a consistent bite downstream, just a fish here and there kind of day.
Caught fish on cranks, hair/trigger x,moxi’s, and lizzards.
water temp was about 50-52 degrees, all of the fish were FAT and SASSY. THings are only going to get better!
I love this time of the year.
