Weekend reports
Well, how did everybody do?
Overall, it sounded like the bite was good on Saturday, and slow on Sunday. We heard of several big fish from the upper bay off the East Bank, and lots of eaters from south of Gladstone. Diane did have one big walleye brought in Sunday Morning. Phil caught a 32 inch, 12 pound 6 ounce fish, using a 10 inch sucker on a tip-up!
Guys started fishing off the Terrace this weekend. Sounds like there's about 4 inches of ice. No real report back on the fishing, just yet. With all the strong south wind Sunday, a new pressure crack formed on the bay, south of Gladstone. It's fairly close to shore in shallow water. Just be careful if heading out early in the morning.
I fished off Gladstone Sunday and Monday evening. Sunday night was pretty miserable with all the wind and freezing rain! Only marked a few fish, and the ones I did see didn't want to play. Headed to the same general area again Monday evening. Again, marked few fish, but most of them were hungry tonight. Caught the first one about 5:30 on a #7 Glow Green Tiger Jigging Rap. Then a little before 6pm, a group of three showed up on the graph. I had a "Bait Shop Guy Special" Shiver down at that time, and ended up catching two of the three fish. Nothing big, just nice eaters. One of the walleyes barfed up a couple gobies in the bottom of the shack. The Rap and Shiver were both pretty close to "matching the hatch," size wise.
