High flyers?

Rumor has it that not too many fish are suspending yet. Is that true? I've read about a couple of suspenders, but not much yet. Are other people seeing this or are there getting to be more suspenders? <BR>If not yet, I'd suspect this to pick up over the next few weeks.<BR>Scoot

I was up last friday to gull and must say that there were maybe 3-4 fish all day that i did see suspended. All the rest seemed to be glued to the bottom. The ones I did see suspended didnt seem to like me!!! I did catch one 15" sauger though about 5' off.

Scoot,<P>I would have to agree with limited success on suspended fish. Last weekend we were only able to get a couple walleye suspended. They were pretty nice fish (19-20 inches), but only a couple. It seemed they were not as willing as they have been in the past, when coming through suspended. The vast majority of fish had come off the bottom. Anyone else having problems getting the suspended fish to hit?

I think the suspended fish occur later in the year, when the fish are roaming the mud flats more.<P><BR>

we were up on the big pond last fri sat sun we did get into quite a few suspended fish most were saugers lots of fish would shoot up off the bottom when we were lowering our baits down jigging fire tiger raps were the key i had two broke off a nice eye at the hole my wife had the other one would not give it up consistently outfished me the rest of the time and ****ed if i could find one up their we also saw a huge northern definetly over 45 inches cruising right under the ice in 31 feet out from zipple bay fishing was good lots of 14 to 15 inchers a mile straight off the end of their main road in 31 feet

Hey, Jigmeup did you go out beyond the road Zippel plowed? We are heading up that way in a couple of days. Just wondering if we should take a few portables in order to go out beyound the plowed roads? What do you think?<BR>

Hey Scoot! Those suspenders are always intriging. Some times they turn out to be tullies but often are the biggun's. Always crank up to them when you see them on your flasher. Lots of times you will get your best fish in the middle of the day when you are out in deeper water suspended 7 to 14 feet up. They are almost always walleyes as opposed to saugers. Hope to see you up there this weekend are leaving early New Years am. and will br there thru Mon. eve. We are at Morris Pt. #12 Jan 1-5. I should give you my cell # but am hesitant to do it here I know you and your Dad hang out at Ballards and would sure like to see y'all. I haven't seen your dad since I was a little kid and had to look way up at him I am now 6'2" and 55, my how time goes bye! Good Fishin"!!!! Bob

shady yes it was better for us to get away from the crowds lots of people fishing near the houses but we had much better luck out beyond it all in 31 feet just continue straigt off the end of the main road and go out i mile you should have good luck we have fished this area before with simalar results get some fire tiger jigging raps w3gt is what it sayt on the package for the size jig them hard and watch the vex when the fish come in stop the jigging and hold it in front of them they were hammering ittip them withwith half a shiner or fathead on rear hook i lost one of mine on a nice fish and after that my wife outfished me 3 to 1

Hey Jigemup... I forgot to ask if you drove out with a vehicle or 4-wheeler? Also, how did they guys do in Zippel's houses? Thanks for your reply.

[jigemup]

they were catching quite a few in their but not too much for size we got nicer fish out further the owner told us to go further because so many houses in area do you have a vex shady
