The Mesiah Strikes Again

[BillW]

I just returned from URL. A big thanks to Kelly, Jonny & Patsy. Great to see old friends again. We set up on Sunday in 1 of Kelly's Houses, very slow for Sunday. Kelly came early Monday AM, and said this won't due. In less than 1/2 hour, Kelly, Patsy and Jonny returned and tied on to the house and moved it about 1/2 mile out, drilled holes, banked the house and we were fishing again. This time much, much better. We ate fish, took home a limit of walleye and about a dozen perch. I told Jonny it was hard to catch fish small enough to keep.The walleye's returned to the lake are quality fish. Thanks Again.

Good report! Glad to see they put you on some fish, which is no surprise

The ironic thing is that where you fished the first night was about 50 feet from where I suggested Zmar fish when Zmar called me the Mesiah for putting him on fish. Nobody had fished there again until you did. Stupid fish swam away. It just shows that fishing reports are yesterdays news. It looked like tough fishing out there today from the people I talked to. shaky and Doc did real good on the bottom grubbing walleyes. Well,,,,Doc did real good. But no crappies for them yet tho. I fished 1/2 mile beyond them and only got 1 crappie and some little walleyes and Scott-Z was another 1/2 mile beyond me and only little walleyes.

In the past little walleyes ment big crappies. Have you ever noticed that Kelly? Jim said he got 8 crappies yesterday morning. Thats over 30 in that area. Who would of thunk crazy fish. One of Kirks buddies got a 10 incher yesterday and ate it.

I never told you Kelly, I went back to that area on Tuesday. I could see where someone had banked a house nearby, I'm assuming that was your doings now. We went a couple hundred yards west and south of there and set up my portable. It never was fast a furious, but steady. I caught a dozen fish, lost that many. Only two were below slot and one dink. I marked a lot of fish that didn't bite, but may have been small perch. You had to continually jig and stay on your electronics. It worked best that when you marked a fish to drop it to the bottom and twitch it there a couple seconds then slowly raise it above the fish, twitching all the while. If it rose up it would hit. There were fish there, one just had to tease'em a bit.

Yes we set the house that Bill was in there for one night. That is the big difference between fishing in a hard house versus a portable. I feel that one person in a portable or standing out in the open will catch way more fish then 4 people fishing in a hardhouse. There is a reason that the oldtimers would never fish in a hardhouse. They just used the hardhouse to warm up in once in a while. Right now we have a hardhouse sitting right where Jon had very good fishing in his portable a few nights ago. The hardhouse is producing almost nothing and we will be moving it back out of there tomorrow.
