Everts this weekend.

So who is taking advantage of the break in winter weather this weekend? A little mid winter boating sure makes the season go by faster. Ill be out on pool 4 Saturday and part of Sunday. With any luck and a open ramp hoping to get out on pool 2 a little Friday afternoon. Good fishing to those that get out.

Trying to get up that way…….

Wishing i was fishing…or heckling some card players.

You could always dig some of those old crusty catfish stinkbait smelling bills out from under the bed and bring them down to cabin 2. For our card games if you got money you qualify to get in.

I’ll be up there!

I was out there today. River kicked my butt. Only caught 3 perch. Tried dubuque rigs, jigging, blades. Cranks with leadcore. Cranks with 3 way. 2 perch on dubuque rig, and one jigging. I didn’t see one net come out all day. Can only get better. 😊

Yea those fish sure took a break this weekend. Still always fun hanging out at Everts. Bunch of good food, late night poker games and talking old fishing stories. Good times.

Did the fish take a break for the weekend or are they not there like they have been from years past? Not asking for that pool specific but the river in general from the pools I fish, pools 4-8. Seems like most of the fish (walleyes, gills, crappies) have been less and less? Perch rebounded but they are now being targeted. Thanks.

The bite in early December was pretty good on pool 4. I think the walleye numbers are fine. I think the one reactor being down and the much higher flow than normal are the biggest factor the slow bite lately. I’m sure the fish are there, but the conditions are so different than normal, (I at least) haven’t figured out what they want to eat, and if the marks I found on my locator weren’t walleyes I don’t know where the walleyes are. I have never caught or seen a perch caught in the past in the area I was fishing this weekend. This weekend however there were several caught by me and other anglers. Crazy conditions down there. Pool 4 always keeps you vain.

I was there on Saturday and there was huge schools of shad from the dam all the way down past the Y. There was one giant continuous school of shad that had to be 200 yards long between the the confluence of the two channels and the tributary downstream. I know they were shad because we must of snagged two dozen of them using blade baits in the middle of the school. There was also a lot of larger marks in with the shad which I assume were walleyes and saugers gorging themselves. We caught one nice 18″ sauger that was stuffed full of shad and released a 14 7/8″ walleye that appeared to be full of shad as well. I don’t think the slow fishing was from lack of fish, I think it is too much forage right now.

I saw a banana peel floating down the main channel up by the clam beds….

Water temp?

Mostly 34.5 ish. Think I saw it pop up to 35 at one time when the sun came out.
