Look out river Walerac is back!

Folks don't even hit the water Friday because Mike Walerac is back on pool four and he'll likely catch them all!!!

What crankbaits?

In all actuallity, it should make the fishing better for others because it seems like I'm always seeing other boats catch all the fish.

It was great to be back on the water and it didn't take long to get back in the swing of things. I hit the water just before dawn in hopes of picking off a couple good fish before I the sun got high and I had to retreat to trolling crankbaits. My pickup said 29 degrees when I arrived at the ramp and to my surprise I actually made it out before the duck hunters. I had to idle most of the way downstream in the darkness for fear of hitting one of the logs floating down the river. It is a good thing I did because it seems most of the shadows had a good sized deadhead in them. I made it to my spot just in time to see a great autum sunrise. To my surprise I couldn't get a bite until well after the sun was up. I was pitching mainly plastics and cranks to rocks. About a half hour later we started at least getting some bites on bucktails and only had one dink and a handful of whitebass to show.

We quicly switched to plan B. It didn't take long to get on a good pattern trolling crankbaits. We started popping a nice mix of walleyes and saugers trolling crankbaits. There really didn't seem to be standout color although natural colors were working slightly better. We were constantly changing colors trying to dial them in and it seemed like the #7 flicker shads and J-5's were out producing. In the end we ended up with a nice mess of fish for the pan and let a few others go for the future.

Good job on making the adjustments needed to get in on the bite! The 3 days previous have been less than stellar,but should be back on track!

Hit the water again this morning. I know there was much yard work to do but I let the dog out at 5:15 this morning and it was remarkably warn and very little wind. The next thing I know I'm pulling into Redwing just a few minutes after 6:00. Knowing I only had a few hours to fish before I had to go home a rake leaves I opted to camp on a current seem close to the landing. Ended up with 4 decent walleyes before the sun got high and pushed the fish off the shallow seam. I was pitching 3/16 oz precision heads with a pro-blue ringworm.

Good job Mike Did you try any of the new MOXIS looked like they should be real good the water was to warm when I was up in mid Oct. Dean has a big selection on hand with all the lead to go with them. Keep the reports coming

The crops must be out, if Walerak is back... Did you see many cock birds while you were harvesting?

I have tried the moxis very much. I was out with my buddy who had some last week and we tried them a little but we weren't casting much that day. I've heard great things about them. I have a gift certificate to Evert's and I was planning to get a bunch with that. I just have not had time to make it over there lately.

Not tht many Chris. I have been getting a few around home here when I have time to sneak out after work. It's a far cry from Sodak last week. Let's get out sometime.
