I was out all day Saturday sun up to sun down and all day Sunday. Let me tell ya, Sunday wwas much more pleasant than fishing the Dirty 30 (30deg/30mph wind) on Saturday.
I had some guests up from Iowa and we really worked hard for the few fish we caught. I didn’t hear much of anything for people catching fish either days. Even with all the boats too we only saw a half dozen fish caught between both days.
We caught maybe 15 saugers and 1 short walleye in two LONG full days. Only 4 of the saugers were big enough to keep with the two biggest at about 16-17″.
Those fish were tricked slowly dragging Dubuque Rigs up stream. 1/2oz to 5/8oz with a plastic for the dropper and 1/16oz jig on top with a fathead. Tried pulling 3-way cranks and lost one fish doing that, but otherwise nothing.
Big thanks to Evert’s for letting me charge my trolling motor batteries for a few hours at the dock
I didn’t hear of or see any bigger females caught but I know of two separate guys who lost one at the boat….just a bunch of fish stories.
I attached some pics, the second pic was requested so we could have the option to photo shop some hog females into the pic
Any one else have any luck at all?
