July fishing posts

Finally spent some time on Kosh, and what an afternoon it was! Started out from Charlie bluff hoping to catch some legal ‘Eyes and was surprised to be catching everything else too. Managed a 15.5″ walleye after boating 5 shorts and 3 large cats, 6 good white bass, 1 sheep, 1 small sauger and suffering 3 bite-offs. We had a period around 7:pm where we were having doubles and one triple–can you say “fire drill”? It was a nice way to start the long weekend, Thanks Jim.

Long time no hear – thanks for the update – good to hear that you had some good results. peace, keep in touch

Made it out sun mid day for a while.just getting into trolling on kosh.(have 4 boards)managed 14 1/2 in eye.and had a drive-by.used shallow shad raps,as that is what i had.hot tiger and crawdad.worked around points,but could use a few tips on colors,baits,depth/speed to run.i ran 2.2-2.6 gps.used charts from precison trolling to set depths back.ran 35,to 45 back on counter

Jigged newville and blackhawk Saturday and Sunday morning. Just one short Saturday, saw one person pickup and 18. One huge carp maybe 15 pounds.

Too bad the Anchor tourney is over, was a fun year. Glad I got to attach some faces to IDO handle.

Don’t forget about one more Thursday night at Anchor from 4:30 to 7:30 winner take all for $5 this week – I think I have a few frozen walleyes I will thraw and bring for fry afterwards. Maybe I will get Barfnicks to buy a round

Now that’s funny

I will plan on making it Thursday. Can bring a few fillets for the fry, just watch out for the bones

got out tonight messing around with trolling. i went 1 for 2 with a 14 and 7/8 inch walleye. it was pretty windy out there. trolled all over the lake. i still dont know about this trolling stuff its gonna be a little longer till i get it dialed in.

trolled again tonight for a few hours since i wont be fishing for about another week or so then up to winnebago. best day of trolling so far. got 3 whitebass and 1 12″ walleye. gold and firetiger flicker shads took the fish. no one else out tonight that we could see fishing. trolled 2 up to 3 mph gps.

hey netman will message you what has been working for us. Trolled about 3 hours Saturday. About 15 eyes and saugers, one fish sandwich in the bunch, but lost two good ones at the boat. Jeff, sorry couldn’t make the Thursday trip, work got in the way. Heading to Lake Michigan for salmon this weekend . Need to get the motor checked on the boat, thinking it is water pump, then back on the Kosh and Winnie. Be safe.

KV don’y worry you didn’t miss much

made it out sunday trolling for a while,ended up with 5 eyes,1 sauger 2 whitebass,one bite off.flicker shads working the best.my daughter got the biggest fish prize,as she caught a 2 1/2 in whitebass,on a #5 flicker shad no legals tho,but still fun

trolled again last night for a few hours. had an all right night. ended up with 1 legal walleye 5 white bass and 2 sheephead. all caught on flicker shads. the white bass really like the gold flicker shads. dnr was checking and patroling the lake as we saw them give some jet skiers a citation right at the landing.

Haven’t had a chance to get on the lake since the high water, hope to try blackhawk this weekend though. Bluegills and some perch on Monona, ice jigs and waxies. Had a 17 inch largemouth take one, hows that pattern Had to cancel lake michigan trip. Re-scheduled for Aug 7th. If anyone wants to go, let me know, will most likely need two more guys.
