Pool 8 – Numbers

I shared my boat with my cousin on Saturday in pool 8. We tried a back cut to the second channel early in the morning in 6 – 20 f.o.w looking for a big bite with no luck. Then we moved to a different location looking for something with a good size back current or eddy to pitch some ringworms and blades to. We ended the day catching 30-40 walleyes and saugers. There were 8 walleyes that were 15″ – 18″ and 6 of them were milking males and two females full of eggs. (Both females released of course.) Best presentation was pitching green 5/16 oz. jigs tipped with purple ringworms in 17 – 20 f.o.w. Water temps varied from 48° – 51° depending on where we were. All in all it was a great day to be on the water (minus the wind of course) and a few walleyes made it home for the fry pan.

I can’t wait until we get out to fish in your new rig you ordered Peter.

Good job! The wind makes it hard to fish sometimes. Thanks for the report.

Good job. I was wondering if the fish were up in that spot you pitched. We used to pitch live bait or twisters up there in high water and catch lots of fish. Gotten away from it, and had a poor day yesterday on pool 4 to prove it.

Nice catch

Thanks for the report

Good job Drew

It was great fishing with you and the Capt today

It’s always a good time. Thanks for making room Capt. blade bait. Nice carp too!

Just trying to show you young fellers the meaning of the word “versatility”, besides Bret C. said “it’s not the species…..”

You can come along anytime there is room, Drew! (So I don’t have to catch them all!)

Pat said that he caught the majority when I talked to him on the phone
