YakFisher Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Besides massive carp and rock bass, are there any large or small mouth? I threw everything I had at them this morning from dawn to 1 in the afternoon and fished everything from the big water ,deep weed lines, shore, structure, Rocky drops to the skinny water up stream. Had one strike on a frog and that is it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry b Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I always thought there should be more walleye in there then you here about..anyone ever try night fishing for them there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Once but shore spots are relatively shallow. Why do people like fishing for walleye? They fight like a bulldog for 5 seconds before becoming a wet newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marth11 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have caught jus about everything that swims in there, from bass to panfish, a bow once, lots of carp and sheepies as well, big pike and muskie as well, I can believe there being walleye in there, but if words gets out that they are in numbers which they are not, the rowers won't be to happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite partial to perch as well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass2mouth Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Can u launch a boat in there?? Gas motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rile Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 never caught or seen any walleye out of there, got the chance at any thing but can be real tough fishing epecially mid summer when it gets all algeed up any visibility is a few inches. And i dont think that weed chopper the rowers use helps any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 They only chop up the lanes I think ... Maybe a path around the island. There is no formal boat launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YakFisher Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 There is a launch. Its on the island at the boat docks, not sure if its public or not though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snags Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 You would be trespassing using the launch ... Last time I was on that side of the island I do not think you can get to the launch with a vehicle unless you go through a gate. Pretty certain they close the main gate in the evening as well.

YakFisher Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 That would explain all the funny looks I was getting when I docked there for a few minutes to go use the can. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
