Hey wondering if anyone has any recommendations for this weekend on where to fish at? Checked the past posts and it appears that not to many people are catching a bunch of eyes so not expecting to get a bunch. However seems like the smallies are biting. I will be honest with all you. I do very little open water fishing. Do 95% of all my fishing in the winter. But I know there is people in the reverse that I help! SO I figured I could come back to the group and try to get some help out of the people that fish during the summer. I will be staying at father Hennipen State Park. Have a 19 foot sea ray so I am kinda limited to "Shallow waters" but I can cast wink.gif well Look forward to hearing what you have to say. Thanks in advance.

There's rock piles all around the park shore, cast top water poppers in the morning and shallow, fat divers or rattle traps later on, i have done well for smallies out there.

There is a camp ground on the NW side of the lake, nice with hook-ups. Can't remember the name for thelife of me. I believe it is in Garrison. They usually have room. State parks usually fill up fast.

I know my father and I use to always go up to a place up on the west side. There was a brown hotel up on a hill. You could camp on this hill, then at the bottom of the hill was the bait shop and bar. and a protected marina (held about 20 boats) It was of 169. White building for a baitshop/bar < don't remember exactly what was in there. And the Brown Hotel Dont' know if this is enough of a description but figured I would see if anyone knows where I am talking about.

      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.

      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
