We caught some nice smallies on a couple of rock points. We had never seen any caught in the lake until this past winter when a buddy got two through the ice. Then this spring I got one on walleye\Northern opener. Then we went out fishing for them and we got 5 in a two hour span. They were all pretty good sized at 14"-18". Anyone else fish for them out there?

I was up there two weekends ago at the federal campground, and was catching smallies out of the river (by the dam). Caught a nice 19.5". Also caught a few nice walleyes.

Was very windy on the lake, so we fished the dam for the most part. Finally got on the lake and caught walleyes, some crappies, and NO smallies.

Our group loves that spot below the dam...never know what you are going to catch.

I've caught smallies there....

Look at this pig from yesterday!

I love those colors on that sunfish.

They are all males as the spawn is almost happening. Caught a few females and they are ready to burst.

Hit it again today.

nice fish CK, and nice shots with the camera.

Posted

I should have been more carefull....I got a call...4 boats went in ...kept everything...I went and checked...no fish left.

So much for CPR.

Posted

That really sucks....A guy can't post anything anymore. I guess the figure, we can follow CK around and wipe out all the lakes he fishes. frownshocked

Posted

Ya know Tom I'd give up all of my spots if a guy would release these nice fish...but that ain't happening.

it also takes a bit of work to find them...then to have the spot fished out just like that....unreal.

Now I'm thinking to turn into a hider and if you want to hit some nice fish well a 300$ a day guide fee will be in order.

Posted

That's sad, because I know that there are some people that like your reports and pictures...I guess you can only show pics of the fish showing the bottom of your boat, and no background. Keep up the fishing though!!!

Posted

I will keep fishing and I will keep showing you pics,but I'll have to watch those backgrounds.

Looks like I'll have to vacuume the carpet now....LOL

I havent gotten a chance to go out for a few weeks just wondering if anyones had any luck up on Big Sandy.

Posted

That's a bit vague.....whatcha lookin for?

Posted

Nothing in particular. Just seeing if anyones been doing any good. Hopefully ill be able come come up within the next week. But for sure for wild rice days. My granpa always has cars in the parade and car show. But i take it big sandy is the same old thing its always been; hit and miss and a really hard lake to fish unless your looking for small hammer handles. haha.

Posted

It can be hard.....I've been hitting slabs here and there.

Posted

Keith, you doing the Waterfowl "duck" opener this year?

Posted

Call me ....Love your avatar...wow!

Posted

Posted

Sunfish for bringing up some little ones. Any particular crankbaint/color better than others to take some kids trolling for walleyes too? Thanks, Ken

Posted

I am staying with some people this next weekend that live on Big Sandy Lake and my sister really wants to go out and catch and release some fish. I am just wondering what the easiest thing to catch is for us so we can just go out and have some fun and respect the fish and their habitat. I'm guessing we'll go out with bobbers and try and find some kind of panfish action or something along those lines since she is not an accurate caster! haha If theres anything decent going on I would appreciate a hint or two! Thank You.

Posted

Does anyone know anything about Big Sandy Lake fishing this time of year?

Posted

I know nothing....see nothing....hear nothing.....

Pike are the easiest to catch.

Get a daredevil and drag it around the shoreline.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.
    • SkunkedAgain
      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.
    • Wanderer
      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.
    • jparrucci
      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      👍 when/if i get drawn.....which i should know about june 1 we'll get in touch........both my kid and myself should get drawn.   and thanks.........with 6 preference points............i think are odds are pretty good.............there giving out 375 permits......and since we had yogi and booboo destroy my birdfeeders last spring......🙄

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?     
    • Mike89
      but if he really wants I can change the date..  
    • Wanderer
      As soon as I started reading mind went to needles and seats.  You might want to try just replacing those first?  I’ve only done that once before in my life but it made the difference.  A carb refresh in 8,000 miles seems reasonable.
    • Wanderer
      Good luck smurfy!  On getting drawn, I mean!   If it comes down to it, I know a guy that might be interested in a nice hide.
