Yeah, the heavier lures are much easier to deal with. But, yeah, I'm going to go get sething more suited for a novice.

I have let more big fish get away this year than ever. Was screwing around on the pond a couple weeks ago. Had grabbed someone elses pole. Hooked probably a 6 pounder. She jumped and snapped the line. He had tossed that line around his yard and never re tied the bait.

Anyone else fishing for Walleyes on the Missouri in South Dakota?
I've been hammering them at Ft. Thompson using bottom bouncers and spinners... took a couple limits off last the water last weekend... pretty decent size to them as well... |

Canada was once again a success. We caught more Walleye than you can imagine and plenty of Northern. The Walleye bite was so good that we never really went after the Smallies. Here's a photo of this year's best fish. A 28" walski caught by my buddies Dad who hadn't fished in 30 years prior to taking this trip.

In 2 weeks I'm heading up to Eastern Lake here in Ontario for a friends stag. It's a fly in (no roads lead to it). Apparently there are more bass and walleye than you can imagine.
Here's the link to the site: http://www.stantonair.com/eastern.html I'll give an update when I get back. |

We didn't weigh it but a 28" walleye usually comes in around 7-8 lbs.

Best luck I had all day was catching the bait, perch, they were stealing off my hook.

Just got back from Lake Sharpe last weekend. We put in a West Bend and headed near the pump house. Fish were biting but nothing really big. Lots of 15-16 inchers and a ton of 14's. Caught our limit last Friday within 4 hours and then switched to smallies. Were using spinners and bottom bouncers as well. Used live worms with mostly chartruese or silver spinners.They were biting like a mother. We stayed at a hotel in Pierre as the campsites were full and the dudes that pulled in next to use had been on Oahe and had only caught one keeper and only 3 fish in 10 hours on the water. They had five dudes in the boat. |

Got back last week from our fly-in trip to Eastern Lake here in Ontario. Six of us caught roughly 150 Bass and Perch over 3 days in the 2-3 pound variety. One guy hooked a huge Muskie but couldn't bring it in. Awesome trip, we had the entire lake to ourselves.
Gonna make it an annual event. |
