Some of the same spots, but this new one was a blast. As my girlfriend was getting the net for me(as I had a fish on)her line just hanging over the side of the boat, I took off the walleye I had, rebaited let it go back in the water. She picks her rod back up and says something is on my line, set the hook I said, she had a nice size walleye on. Rebait her line, go back to get my rod,lift it up something pulling on it. Anyways 3 nice walleyes all in one spot. What a blast. Maybe next week we can hook up to go out, it is getting that time of year they are picking up.

Typical. I just get the boat back from the shop and there is a cold front going through today and tomorrow. Oh well, riding in the boat beats riding on the mower. Maybe one walleye will take pity on me and sacrifice itself.

LOL - that was funny Kab!

Does anyone know when the turnover might occur? And after the turn over is it then best to fish deep? Or am I all wrong on that.

[Hillbiehle]

I heard that the turnover actually occured last week. Was out there yesterday and managed one keeper with a few smaller one's. Anyone else out?

[Tonka Boy]

Although we seem to be a little ahead of schedule temp-wise, turnover has not occured. It'll still be a few weeks yet guys. You'll know when the stinky weed roots start floating.

Hit Tonka last night with "Lots of Luck". 3 or 4 small eyes, and a northern. Used jig and minnow. Alot of wind to deal with....

[lots of luck]

Let's just say it turned out to be a ride along for me, I produced the big "goose egg".
Hillbiehle did the catching, I was there for moral support.

Fished Tonka nearly all day today. Tried everything, mainly targeting walleyes.

Caught:

- 4 small northerns
- 2 largemouth (in 22' of water!)
- a few sunnies
- 1 substantial sunburn

I absolutely cannot figure Minnetonka out.

Hello fellow FM'ers,
Well it's been a while since I posted last as my hunting expeditions have taken a lot of my time.

I plan on getting out and do some fishing on Tonka this evening as a change of pace and wondered how the "Eye" bite was going??

I was concidering crank baits or jigs tipped with fat heads,
any suggestion?

Has the lake turned yet?

Any others going to be there around 6:00 or so?

Thanks in advance for any reports, tips or suggestion.

Good luck to all and hope to see you on the water/swamps/fields and woods this fall,

AH

[Hillbiehle]

I'm heading out tonight. Last two trips were pretty unsuccesful. My plan tonight is to hit a few spots and troll a 3-way rig and see if I can get a crankbait bite. As the sun goes down, I might start casting a jerkbait. Might be too early, perhaps I should just stick with fatheads; or better yet, let the fish tell me what the want and try that accordingly....... (I'm so lost)

[Hillbiehle]

Went out last night and nothing from 3:30 to dusk. 10 different spots marking fish in a few, but sill nothing. Anyone else having luck?

[wmn luv me walleye fearme]

2 anglers, 1 walleye (12 inches on weed line jig and fat head) 1 pike, 2 sunish, in 4 hours, good to know we weren't the only ones that did crappy

That reminds me--did catch one crappy.

I did notice that the water temps are still at 68--almost exactly what they have been for three weeks. I'm pinning my hopes on a five degree drop in surface temp.

[Ice9]

Ditto your report. Pounded one spot, two anglers, blanko.
