Sunday's Launch


eye

Recommended Posts

I wasn't able to make it up to Pikes' Point Resort in time for Sunday nights launch, I had a little truck trouble. Just wondering how everyone did. I really hated to miss this, I think people should get together like this more often. Thanks D-Man for the opportunity!!

We pounded the fish. Its was a great time. We had times when 4-5 people had fish on at once. We were still netting fish when we pulled anchor to head in. Perfect nite, no wind and the few bugs we had pretty much stuck to the lights. We will plan another one in Sept. Hope you can make it then. P.S FM.com member Fishfearme won the first fish money pot.

Hey D-man,
Thanks for the report. I don't suppose you could let me know where you guys were? I'm not looking for acuall GPS coordinates, but a general location and depth would be really appreciated. Thanks again!!

D-man,

Why is it that spots like this hold so much fish, ecspecially at night. I always thought at night go shallow and find rocks? As you may recall a previous post I mentioned that we had 65 fish on a launch at night. We also were in a"no-mans" on the NW end? I took the gps cooridnates and placed on my map and was dumbfounded that we were a long way from any structure. I don't mind fishing in these areas it just seems to go against all logic? Am I way off base?

We made it up for the launch, and had a lot of fun. Great group of people.

Mike and D-man gave us some good info. We put it to use yesterday and today, and caught quite a few. The biggest being a 26 1/4.


D-man we dropped the boat and headed into the y club, but we must of scared em when we pulled up cause they were closed.

For the record I can't recall any bottle bass being slammed. wink.gif

We were out sunday and fished spirit island and did okay, nice fish but no slots.

We also marked a ton of fish in a "no mans land" between spirit island and rocky reef in 30-33ft. We could not get them to bite however. What did you guys catch them on at the launch?

      I came up when it was hot (mid 80's) and unfortunately it has stayed that way the whole trip.  I knew I was doomed when Pike Bay was over 82 degrees, and Big Bay was well in the mid 70's.  Skies have been blue, and with little wind to break up the water.  I got up around 5 am, and stayed on the lake until 10 or so.  I didn't want to get sick, this is supposed to be fun afterall, and I came back on after 4 pm.  I trolled trying to find them.  I was successful, but only got enough to get some fish fry's for the family.  The bigger ones came from lead core, with an occasional one coming in from trolling shallow.  DNR stopped by while on the lake, and he said the mayfly hatch might be starting.  Good luck everybody!

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.

      Excellent report with Q&A video of Vermilion fishing over Memorial day weekend on the Everett Bay Lodge Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0P6R367DVCXxuZN9LQmZo3ptHADXTbR7NewV2P4W8BouagdzmZ56RpSC6SP2KTjNhl&id=100031660668169&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f Good timely advice on walleyes
    • leech~~
      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
