Fisherman For a Lifetime Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Fished Winnie all day both days. Water temp: 62-63 Degrees Marked quite a few on the "big bar line" both days... On 6/4, went to a lot of places on bars and did well - a catch and release day... On 6/5, got creative in an area on the West side and it was "like taking candy from a baby..." Nailed them. Limited out in short order - all 15 to 15.5 inch Walleyes. The Shiner fishermen were pulling up just small Perch. The Launch came through where I was and they caught nothing but Perch, lucky it was a short period of time I did not catch one when the Launch was passing through or they would have been all over me. I hooked one shortly after he trolled by, so I turned my boat away from them and scooped it up without him seeing it. Kept catching Walleyes on Leeches only.

fishnfool59 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Even though I am back here in Iowa and just have to read how you all are doing on Winnie, the memories are still fresh and its like being there!!! lol Nice job of concealing yourself from the launch FFL. I know that feeling of being the first to start the action going and then everyone joins in. Most of the time its not bad and everyone can get their share, but there is always one or two that spoil the party!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman For a Lifetime Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Welllll... I better not say. It's kinda of a small area and Walleyes congregate there. It can be a feast... Us old timers (yikes!) (I've fished Winnie A LOT since 1965...) know about it. Sorry, nice try though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman For a Lifetime Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 I looked for your boat, but didn't see a red pro-v. That's great! Sometimes they bite one one bait in an area and another bait a ways away. The Shiner run has about started, so the Walleyes came in for them. How 'bout the Fish Fly Hatch on Wednesday morning....
