Was out to fish on Sat AM, targeting the bay west of the old Church (have to try again in the same area as opening day) Trolled there with no results.
Trolled the Old Church Weedline - no results
Trolled at Shermans - Gobies and perch were the result. A 30" walleye was caught at Shermans before we got there, I have friends who saw the fish - 10 lbs for sure, that boat also landed 3 other keepers(under 19")
Tried the weedbed between the Launch ramp( east of Shermans) and west of Perfect Vue. Has this happened to you??? First time I tried a BRAND new Rapala Taildancer, trolled about 100 feet and had a strike, hooked the fish, and BANG the line goes limp - Darned Pike, Darn No wire leader. There goes 9 bucks.
Fished Sat evening up at the east end of Hay Bay at the flats, actually closer Hoffmans Is than the eastern part of the flats. Lots of boats, saw a couple landed. My Dad landed a pair of walleyes (17" & 12") and I landed a 12" walleye and a couple of Barbottes. Fish taken on Uzick Spinner.
Fished Sun AM, went to the buoy in front of the cement plant, the buoy has been moved closer to the cement plant. Didn't mark many fish out there. Went to Mallory Bay and trolled there, Marked a great many fish in the 30 foot depth, most in the 26-29 foot depth. Couldn't entice one to hit.
Trolled in the cove east of Thompsons Pt, met a chap who had landed one and released it (19.25") Zero results there also.
Tried Shermans again and again no results BUT fewer Gobies and Perch. On the way back to Bayview, we tried the channel behind Ram Is and my Dad hit a pike (24") on a RedSwan Gold Spoon (with a wire leader).
The results from the other campers at Bayview were mixed, some had caught some fish and others hadnot.
The water Temp was going up with the bright sun- surface was 61 degs F.
Lots of boats at the East End Flats, Ram Is and the rest scattered thru out Hay Bay. Holiday weekend fishing traffic
