Right now don't think you can go wrong by going to Red. I think you could be any place on the lake and catching fish. We did well this weekend fished for 4 hours on Friday all day Saturday ended up landing 70 fish and lost a lot of fish. No pike which was not the norm. We did manage two crappies on Saturday morning trying a new spot. One 15incher and a 12.5 also put about 8-10 perch in the bucket.

Most fish came in and hit hard there were a couple times during the day you have to work them a little to make them hit. We used rattlin flyers, jigging raps and hot tamales with good like on all. Nothing really out fished one, we did do a lot better with Shiners on the dead sticks. Fatheads worked after we ran out of shiners twice but not as well as the shiners on the dead stick. They would hit the line as you were setting it back down after just catching one or losing the bait. I guess that would of been the hot bait after writing this post. Bigger the shiner smaller the walleye which was weird. We did not get many big fish just a couple under 20. Was a great weekend no one within a mile or 1.5 of us. grin

What depth were you fishing? North or south shore?

North end was slow for us. Been doing this WAAAY to long to think an entire lake is hot all the time. Still comes down to location,location,location. Always a good time regardless

We fished 8 feet of water for Friday and then moved to a 12ft spot for Saturday.

Also make sure what you pay for a fishing tag smile

The lady said 23.50 and when I got the receipt it was 2300.50 charge had to make sure she made refund but almost caught me off guard not everyone looks at their receipt grin. No harm still waiting for the refund and hope that happens soon. Bank said a few days for refund. I didn't even pay that much for my elk hunt. smile

      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.

      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.

      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.
