Cedar River 7/10/06

Fished tonight from about 8:15pm-10:15pm. Several small eyes, lost once decent one, probably 15-17″ at the boat. All on crawlers again.

thanks for the report. a buddy and i got a bunch of nice eaters(released) tonight on the iowa. my buddy lost a pig near the boat. a lot of current was the key. crawlers, plastics and gulp all did well.

Yeah, i seems to be current right now. I’m fishing about 2-4 FOW where the current creates a seam along a pool of water. Drop a finesse rig with a crawler onto the bottom along that current break, give it a minute or two, and you usually have a hit. I haven’t fished any plastics since i’ve had such good luck w/ crawlers, it’s hard to switch!

Hey Andy,were your fish caught shallow also? i have tal;ked to a couple guys in the last 2 days that are catching them in 2 to 5 ft. I havent tried it yet,waiting for the weekend.

I made it out tonight and managed one eater sized eye and lost a nice kitty about halfway in.

sounds good skippy, where were you fishing?

I was over at Vinton.

Ive got the same report from on the Iowa up here. 2.4 fow decent walleyes. All released, but were from 14-17 inches.

Skippy–were you shore or boat fishing?

I was on shore fishing by the boat ramp. I should also add that the walleye and lost fish both were on crawlers, the Sonny’s didnt produce anything but a few weak taps.

we were in a transition where it goes from 3fow to about 7fow and anchoered in 6fow. pitching jigs upstream a bit along a nice seam and jigging it down stream along side the boat. repeat. whack.

Skippy do you fish near Vinton a lot? I live just south of town maybe we could go fishing sometime.

I try to get over there in the evenings once every week or two. PM me sometime if you wanna go and hopefully we’ll be able to get out sometime.
