Fishing is still good 7/7/2010

[Mike Allen]

Sorry for the delay in the fishing report. The July 4th holiday threw off my timing.

The fishing has still been good to excellent. Our summer storms slow the bite up a bit for the first part of the day. We have still been fishing from Iron Nation to the Big Bend Dam on Sharpe and from Kiowa to the Big Bend Dam on Francis Case. 15-21 feet on Crawlers have been best. We are catching 60-100 fish on most days.

Here is my week of fishing. On Monday I had 2 guys from Council Bluffs, IA. We fished on Francis Case and caught 70 walleyes and 5 catfish. Very nice fish 16-20 inches.

On Tuesday and Wed, I had a couple out from Atlantic, IA. We fished on Francis Case and Sharpe on Wed. Caught 45 fish on Francis Case and 25 fish on Lake Sharpe. On Wed we fished on Sharpe and caught 65 fish. Excellent fishing outing.

On July 1st and 2nd I had a group out from Fremont, NE area. We followed a major storm on the first day and caught 30 fish. A little slow for our area. On day 2 we made an adjustment and caught 45 fish by 10:30 a.m. The best size fish I have caught all year. What a great day for a grandfather and grandson to enjoy time together. Excellent way to finish a 2 day trip.

On July 3rd I had a family out from Columbus and Hastings, NE. We caught 70 walleyes. An excellent family fishing outing.

I hope to get last weeks pictures up by Thursday evening.

Until next time
Mike Allen
