opener 2016

Well…
I certainly didn’t put any hurt on the eyes today! Kinda tough between the wind,crazy fast current and debris.
Anybody do any good?

Caught a white bass. Missed 2 fish trolling and I thought at least 1 of those coulda been a walleye.

What is water temp? The crazy norteast winds for three days in a row can’t help the bite.

I had 48deg north of stillwater.

Thanks for the update. Could use some warmer weather to get the fish snapping.

Gave Croix 2 hours before moving on with my life yesterday and fishing cats, which were on fire again.

3-way rigging with crawler, walleye, perch, crappie, sauger

Did anybody catch a 15+” walleye this weekend? Guess I’ll wait a few days if not another week before heading out there.

heard reports of a 28″ fish caught and kept off the lakefront walking bridge on Saturday morning. unsubstantiated but I have caught walleye there.
other than that I did not hear of anything and I did not go out. saw about a 1/2 dozen boats in the channel this morning

The good news is we haven’t missed anything yet SteveO!!

I came close!! 14 7/8″
I didn’t talk to a single person with a legal eye,most got skunked.

What happened to the sauger? Used to always be able to have a couple eaters.I’ve caught 3 in the last 3 years! Used to get oodles north of stillwater

Caught 2 @ 19″, both were milting. Water temp was 53…south of Hudson.

Agreed!!

Caught about 6 sauger and a two eyes yesterday. Lead core pounding bottom, all could’ve been bucket fish.

Definitely the fastest moving boat on the water yesterday and I didn’t see much of anything lifted from the typical vertical slow presentation fisherman.
