ccmtcanada Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Well, it's been a while since Bly and I have posted any Walleye (Wall-ice for Glen, Pickerel for many others) reports, and now that the season is over, here's a little summary of how we did this year. We fished right up until mid December last year, but this fall has proven much colder, and changed the pattern quite a bit. After having the season we had last year, we knew it would be very hard to beat and although we didn't catch any personal bests, we still had a pretty good year. We cant wait to try for these guys from our boat next year! We have learned a lot about catching these guys from shore, and I'll share a little bit of info that we've found out. For some reason (I don't know why), in early fall, they hit spoons and nothing else. After that stops working, it seems the only thing that works is Jigs tipped with twister tails or worms. Once they stop biting those, it's exclusively crank baits. We dont use live minnows...so we have no idea how well they'd work. Anyhow, here are some pics...most are from shore, but some are from assorted fishing trips in boats…..enjoy the fish porn! This one was caught on a spinner in July....a small 22" one....but also one of my only ones caught when the sun was still up...LOL. In mid-July, this one was caught up on Ahmic Lake. It was the only walleye that made it to our dinner table. This proves that Bly actually does catch some small fish....LOL. Caught on the infamous Jumla!!! Fishnsled took us out hunting muskie and this is the only fish I caught that day...this one ended up on HIS dinner table...hehe. We did a lot of searching this fall. The following pics were all caught at night in a few different locations. We even dawned our waders to try out some new spots and had a bit of luck. Bly started out the fall season by catching this nice one in September. It measured 27" and weighed 7.5 pounds. Sorry about the quality...I forgot the good digital at home and took this with my phone. This one came in at 29" and 8 pounds. It was our second smallest fall walleye, but is a cool shot because it's fins are all up.... They started to get a bit bigger.... Bly's 29", 8.8 pounder Bly's 9 pounder...and 31" Finally...here's a 9 pound 14 ouncer....measuring 31 inches... That's it for now....stay tuned for part 2...the bigger fish will be in that report....coming in a week or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
