I have noticed, when the cows are laying down on the farms on the way to fish in the mornings, the fishing is slow. Well at least thats my excuse if I struggle in the morn.But seriously keep your eyes on the cows.

Mitch , Like James says thats a pretty broad question, but to get you started thinking. In current the quick thing to look for is anything that breaks it and fish the small eddy it produces.In high water I like to look for areas were the water rises on steeper banks so it is actually rising vertical more than horizontal.That way the fish can’t spread out on you as much.I have also found that on some of my favorite banks that are flatter were the water does spread out into the woods. It can still produce if you fish the original bank. This now with the higher water turns into an edge or transition area and some fish are still there.I hope this helps to get you started thinking of what to try next year. Good luck

August 30, 2006 at 2:19 pm #473416Dave, nothing personal I just have a problem with guys that run up my back. If someone is on my back I will not put my boat in gear and hit the guy in front of me. I will take the hit from behind and deal with it.Again I say if a car is going to bump you from behind at a stop sign do you put it in gear and hit the guy in front of you?? In the locks there is always going to be some bumping going on from the sides of boats with the current and all as the locks are opening. We all know that and try to keep it at a minimum.I just think it’s amazing that if we see a guy in a parking lot open his car door and ding the door of our new truck we go balistic but when we crack the gelcoat on a 40 to 50 thousand dollar boat we just say “well he should have been moving.” I COMMEND your actions to try to find the guy you ran in to. I would think if there was enough damage done that he was worried about he would not have a hard time figuring out who has a yellow boat. Sorry I unloaded on you but it’s a pet peeve of mine. If we lock together in Lax. try to get the whole side of my boat. I think a yellow racing stripe would look good on blue. If I don’t see you, keep it going your having a great year.
August 30, 2006 at 5:50 am #427409He may have not been able to put it in gear because he would have run in to the guy in front of him!!Do you run in to guys at stop signs with your car if they don’ move??
July 23, 2006 at 1:15 am #462629Two years in a row for the week of this event the temps. were 95 to 100 degrees. The D.N.R. certainly must realize that the small pens they are holding such a large number of fish in is not sufficient for the wellbeing of these fish. The livewells these fish are being brought in with are constantly putting more oxygen in the water then they have per square foot in the river itself. When they take these fish, handle them again to clip their fins, which is added stress, then put them in a confined area with no food for 5 days it does not take a genius to figure out these fish will die.You take away half of your oxygen intake and not eat for five days your going to be floating down the river too.
May 23, 2006 at 12:48 am #448288Had 13.10 flipping stumps in the flats. Found these fish a week earlier and they all had big bellies, but this week never caught one that had a belly.
May 3, 2006 at 6:35 pm #443367If your chine walking is not violent but just the feel of it beginning to start you can drive through it. If you have hydraulic steering this is a lot easier. If you are having this problem with just you in the boat you are probably set up just about perfect and you’ll just have to arrange your weight distribution more towards the front. If you still have it with a partner with you then you may have to put it up a notch. Good luck.
April 30, 2006 at 8:42 pm #442268It looks like the D.N.R. has a little P.E.T.A. in them. I’am sure you could get the same footage watching the bluegills on any inland lake. As Brovarney states the debate can go on forever but it still amazes me how the bass population is getting better ever year no matter were you fish.
