im not sure which one they use. I think you are absolutly right about the jon boat. for some reason I just dont think my 18′ will fit down there very well. I can just see the people on bank right now

talked to the fisherys down there this morning and they dropped it to 800 today, and they are planning on shocking this week. Also said the females in the nets are not ripe yet. the 5er was face first, I didnt even see any foul hooked monday night… kinda nice for a change. Well I might head down tonight.

Well I was only 5 lbs short of the 10 lber

no I didnt go up. The weather kinda stunk,I called lanny miller and he gave me some good info on the lake, and also said the fishing slowed way down after the front last week. So Ill wait till this weather straightns up. thanks for the link.

so ive already heard…Im flyin down after work tonight. That 10lber is calling my name. were you down stream very far? And do you even need live bait? Im just planning on taking some jig heads, twister tails and ringworms. work cant get over soon enough.

I might try to make a trip down there this weekend in the weather clears up. dont sound like it going to though.

I normally make it down at least once every two weeks sometimes once a week. only been down once this year in jan. below the spillway. Im always chasin eyes, but would like to find a couple crappie holes this year. I caught some 13 and 14 inch last year trollin cranks. Even caught 3 northern down there last year.

I know I was going to put the boat in at the red rock dam and head down river… until they opened it up didnt figure there was any use. wher they biting by the dam at rathbun?

you are absolutlty right go shallower even right up against the bank at times, maybe try something different this year and cast the bank with your rapalas you wont be disapointed. Its really odd the warmer the better the bite is for me.

hey i fished it about a month ago and caught some nice bass on crappie jigs. also caught some nice 12″ crappies, they were all on the south side and some on the south west corner too. let me know how you do.

I went down there this past weekend. didnt fish but was watching and talking to a few people that were catching a few walleyes on the south side of the dam by the walkway that goes in the water. But the big one I seen was a guy caught a 9 pounder by the boat ramp. After seeing that Im for sure going to be down there alot for the next few weeks. bad thing now is the water is so dirty.. dont know how the bite will be.

your right the bite has been gettin pretty good. I was down there mon. and wed. and done well both days trollin cranks. cant wait to go back this weekend!

i havent been there in 6 or 7 days but i did catch a few walleyes they were all small though i was trollin shad raps in around 9-12 fow. could caught more but i was busy pullin white bass off my line the whole time. I’ve only been fishing till around noon due to all the goofballs in the big fancy boats. but if you stay down by south fork or bridge view its not to bad. sorry i couldnt help to much. good luck

Yea if you could find that # that would be great. Is the fishin worth comin up now or should I wait till later? It sounds like the eyes and pike are bitin pretty good from what the dnr page says.

thanks for the help it just sounds like i need to be in a little less water. I just might have to take some vac. from work this week and next week. thanks
