    Sounds like some harsh wind on Sat. anyone going up fishing? Anyone going to try and fish the north end, will the fish even be in there if there are 4-5 footers? Please let me know what you think I will fish the north end if the fish are going to be there. Thanks guys good luck this weekend if you make it up there.

    Yeah, we will give it a go wind or not, but we might be on the south side if the waves are too crazy.

    I don’t think the wave action will slow down the fish on the north side.

    We were up last night and were only able to drum up 8 of them. Smallest was 17″ largest was 25 1/2. I hope we can get some action up there tomarrow.

    Looks like wind out of the south 10-15 mph tomorrow night. A good chop.

    Don’t think you’ll see 4-5 footers unless it gets around 20-30 mph winds.

    A good rule of thumb on Milly….. If they say 10-15 you need to add the 2 together. Tomorrow night > 25 mph!

    We’ll be there, bring out the rain gear and the life jackets. As long as your catching fish, the weather is never that bad.

    The wind shouldn’t hurt the fishing one bit, in fact it will probably help you. Just remember safety first. It can really make it a pain in the [censored] for the person running the boat.

    So true!

    Friday night on the north end… what a way to start the fall fishing season.

    I started with a bit of a head ache and upset tummy.

    Overall a good night though.

    We pulled a lot of fish out of the Casino access, but if the water drops anymore I’ll need to launch elsewhere in October. We only saw 5 boats Friday and 4 boats Saturday, were they somewhere else or just not many on the lake? Believe me I’m not complaining!

    Any one have any reports from the weekend or did everyone get blown off the lake?

    Headed up friday evening with 2 good buddies. Can’t wait! I’ll drink with them Sat. until my other buddies show up for the Sat. night runs. Should be one hell of a good weekend! It’s go time!

    It was a windy weekend but the fish where still bitting. Ive heard good reports coming from several areas around the lake. We fished 3 different areas over the weekend and found fish on all of them. Now trying to stay on them and fighting the wind was a different story.

    My friends found 60 – 61 all over the north and west sides. However, this wind and rain this week should be helping considerably.

    Yep I think it has been 60-61 for about 2 weeks now. If the water temps drop it will bring in more and bigger fish in my opinion. The fish are definitely biting. Like Mike, I have found fish in all areas I have fished (probably the same areas as Mike ) but some areas are better then others. I think weeds are more consistent, but have found some bigger fish moving up on the rocks late night (after midnight). As Mike and I were discussing, the best is yet to come!
