never have fished there- results?

 

Yeah, horrible!  lol

 

Its a great lake when the fish are biting but that wasn't the case Sunday, over 30 people fishing and only 6 people brought in fish.

Dont feel too bad- I thought I had them all figured out and was catching some good ones at Clinton; only to get my second skunk of the season. Only had three hours to fish after work, but missed too on top water and broke one off on a hookset with plastic worm.

not my finest day.

No more skunk talk guys. What happened to the striper bite Nice Bass? I haven't been bass fishing in about 3 weeks. I'm heading back up north this weekend to try and get some more walleye and crappies.

Striper bite is still on- just shorter than what it had been for a couple weeks- numbers went down, size went up, so I cannot complain too much.  Topwater bite seems to have come on though for bass for me, so I have been chasing the proverbial dragon doing that the last couple of trips- possibly to a fault...

Dusted the skunk off.  This one went 5 -6.  Good healthy fish for Clinton.  Fish were a bit deeper than they had been last couple weeks but stacked up on points ledges next to really deep water.

Nice fish man. Way to go!

Nice hawg! I did the Wisconsin thing again this weekend. Ol' lady outfished me in size. I caught all the panfish. She got a 22" musky, a beast of a carp which was over 10lbs, and a 17" smallie which she insisted on keeping. I hope they taste as good as they fight. Crappies were all 11"-12" a couple gills and whites in the mix

I've heard smallies are pretty good. Did you get a chance to have it? 

Not yet. Just crappies so far

You guys jinxed me with all that skunk talk. Might as well have skunked out today. Was with my son this morning on the Chain. (2) 8" bass and a crappie

Bwell, or anyone for that matter- where do you guys put in at Shelbyville? thanks!

We always put in a Wolf Creek but you cant tie on to the dock there, but Eagle Creek would be a better place to put in at.

How was your guys Labor Day weekend fishing?

The fishing in my local lake turned on, well for a pressured small lake these are very good catches anyways had 30+ hrs fishing this week managed two 18"ers.

 

 

Headed north of the border to Delavan Wisconsin today. The bass bite was decent and the pike bite was crazy, although they were all in the 20-28" range. Pike were jumping out of the water grabbing baits. Most of the bass were in the 2lb range Here's a couple of the better ones.

Nice to see you get on some fish. How were you catching them?

The pike hit everything we threw. One of the bass in the pic was caught on my last Northstar swimjig in Bull Gill with a Cane Thumper trailer. A pike bit it off shortly thereafter. The other one on a jika rigged Pit Boss in Big Texan color. We also got them on wacky senkos, t-rig worms, Reaction Innovation beaver baits and spinnerbaits

I did not even get a chance to be on the water this weekend- wedding anniversary and the crowds combined to help me make to correct decision to stay home.  Should be able to make it out somewhere this week.  Anyone get any good smallmouth this year?  I have yet to catch a photo worthy one.

Nothing over 2lbs or so. I'm heading up to Sturgeon Bay the first week of Oct. 

Nice catches slonezp!!

My smallmouth catches are very limited managed only maybe 12" one this year but still took a pic of it. I saw it cruising by about 2 feet from shore tossed a crawler to it and got it.

And I'm sure that 12 incher fought better than a 16" largemouth

Slowed but big fish still being taken.  I will be out this weekend as well- may camp and fish Friday, Saturday morning.  Let us know how you do. 

Shad have gotten to finally be a good size however the lake is still inundated with way too much young of the year bait.

Went out Friday evening and caught around 20 or so and a good smallmouth finally!! Not great, so I guess I should have posed the question differently when asking if anyone had any good ones recently.  Fished for wipers/whites Saturday and caught 40+/-

fileted half.

Still trying to get self pics on the phone right- and not anywhere close to having it down.
