test. need to figure out how to make new post.

Where at on the Cedar was this? I’d like to give it a shot. I’m in Iowa City. The Iowa has been a little slower than normal lately. Thanks, Andy

Hey, going to 11 this sunday. I would like to know exactly what a dubuque rig is and how it is generally fished. Thanks in advance for the help. Anybody been to 11 recently? Thanks,
WF

Hi all,

Sounds like a few more walleyes are turning up here and ther on the ville.

I don’t mean to change the subject, but there is no Three Mile Lake thread on this site. Anybody been to three mile lately or heard any reports?? Going this weekend for walleyes. Any info would be great.

thanks,

andy

Can you guys tell me what kind of presentation worked for those 2 or 3 eyes if you know? I used to just troll shad raps at sandpiper with pretty good success and all the whites mixed in was fun. Haven’t caught a walleye there in at least three years now, but haven’t fished it too much.
thanks.

How big are the smallies running in Saylorville? Are you getting them on cranks like the whites or something else? Thanks.

I don’t fish the Miss enough to know anything, first of all. But I was at 10 and 11 4 days this month fishing near the dams – slow boat. Everyone was slowly catching small saugers and 0 walleyes. We concentrated on faster water and channel breaks and thumped 1/2 oz leadheads and ringworms, and casted slabs. We actually caught as many or more fish as everyone around us and they were much more quality fish. Lots of 17-19″ saugers and the walleyes were a nice mix from 15 – 21″. My opinion, after seeing the size of the shad they were spitting up, is that there were a) a lot of shad b)a lot of small fish c)some nice fish d)the nice fish were moving through along obvious channel transitions and current breaks e)Larger baits were more effective than minnows when competing with shad.
I think the older fish are just not moving up hard and staying put. They definitely filter through, though. Just compare the recent Lynxville tournament results with the reports. I know the 1st or 2nd place finishers (whoever didn’t catch the 12 lb) were on the west wall casting in fast water.
I’ve had my best luck by knowingly decreasing convention and getting creative. AC
