Thanks for all your advice and reports this year... and past years.

From the tallies that you report for the year... now I know why I haven't caught anything this year! Just joking.

A big...

Interesting photo. I could not find it online. Maybe you are right about it being a Fox Snake, but that bright yellow color has me guessing.

A couple of notes that I found that don't necessarily...

Well, Jerry,

I think the water is getting colder now, and since I've had to store my boat, I guess it is up to you now to try one of those sheepshead. I'm sure everyone on the board would be...

Has anyone ever tried cooking up some Sheephead??? I'm told that it is not bad eating.

:eek:

I also noted from the DNR Congress minutes that they passed a resolution to create a Free Fishing Weekend during the winter in addition to the one in June.

Brrr...

I saw a couple bouys on the Rock last week that said Sampling Station or something like that. One was down by the CR dam and the other was in the middle of the lake. I wonder if those were nets.
...

I was browsing the DNR Conservation Congress minutes for their Spring 2011 meeting. I noticed a discussion and passing of resolution 150311 for a 3 bag limit for walleye. The author started his...

I find it interesting that someone wanted to know more about the lake than just fishing it. That is a nice change. What has always amazed me is how someone would want to propel themselves across...

Hey, Jerry,
Thanks for the updates. I hope I can get on the lake one of these days soon. Haven't been up yet because of commitments. They are killing my spring fishing season.

Have you ever...

Hi, Jerry,
I didn't hear anything down here about tornado damage up there in WI. When and where did it happen?
Was it all contained around Pete?

Luke

There are many new proposals for fishing and hunting that will be voted on April 11. The public has a voice and can vote on these proposals at local meetings.
Walleye limits and sizes won't...

Hi, Jerry,
Thanks for the tip about the show. My wife and I will try to get there, but don't know which day it will be. Looking forward to meeting you both.

Luke

Jerry, since I've never met you, I'd wish that I could have been there the same time.

I closed up this weekend, but got out Friday before you did. I trolled different hard baits around the lake...

Four of us ate at South Shore Friday night. We had some cocktails at the bar before eating. The food was excellent, but our order got goofed up on one of the four plates. I kept the plate anyway. ...

Jeff,

I can appreciate your predicament. I can add all my own comments about the algae, but your comments say it all.

The DNR's current 'plan' to combat the algae is to drop the water levels...

Thanks, Jerry.

I think that you typically run planer boards, too.

Which brand of planer boards do you prefer? I have a couple different ones, but would like to try something else.

Marie and I got out on the SmokerCraft three times last week. We had a mixed bag, but sacked a few into the freezer. Several Shorties--no keepers, a couple really close Smallies, a few good sized...

I heard that Sunday the bugs were bad and kept some friends off the lake. Earlier in the week my fly swatter on the boat got abused.

Luke

Glad you had a good weekend--we did too.
How were you fishing? Bait, cranks, ???

We pleasure-boated on Sunday and didn't fish until Monday. We tried minnows and drifted with the wind. That...

Thanks for the reports, Jerry. You certainly have been hitting them pretty good. I've had a mixed bag of eyes and smallies this last week with only one 16 inch keeper walleye.

I've been casting...

I was up all week, but because of a motor trim failure, I only fished Sat-Sun & Weds-Thurs. I recorded 63 Sat to 65 by Thursday. I measured 57-59 up river toward rt 21. It could be differences in...

12:05 pm May 4: Current water level for Castle Rock is 882.76'.
Pete is at 924.53', .53' above managed range.

I spoke with the Dam Manager today who is responsible for the Petenwell and Castle...

Hey, Jerry,

I checked my fishing log for last year. Except for a couple days in early May last year, we were winded off the lake until late May. I remember that we lost almost all of May because...

Yes, it is unfortunate.

I wonder though, if the weather was supposedly the worst so far, why would they not have PFD's on? I assume that if they were wearing PFD's that they would have stayed...

Wow! Good report. Where's the PICs? Hope you snuck a couple.

I'm thinking that we are going to see much larger eye's being caught. Too bad that we will have to turn most of them loose, but...
