Pigeon Lake Report

[JeffBornFishin]

OK after a totally crappy Sunday I couldn't wait to get on Pigeon today.

 

8 AM start and the weather looked good

 

 

 

Opened her up and I was on the first bass spot south end of Pigeon in 30 minutes I said I was gonna burn gas.

 

Very quiet on the water only one or two boats out.

 

No luck at the first spot so I decided to try a new spot. 10 FOW on a weedline. Wind was going just the right way so I tossed out the driftsock.

 

After a couple of minutes got this nice bass.

 

 

After that it was more smaller bass, a crap load of perch and then came Wally.

 

 

Let that one go cast again and whammo.

 

 

Got another one similar size. Lost a bigger one right at the boat

 

Next up to my suprise was a Rock Bass on a large spinner.

 

 

Kept changing up lures and techniques to make it more interesting. I must have made the same pass 8 times over the same line.

 

 

A few more bass and then all the action stopped dead with a major shift in the wind.

 

I tried some other spots but only got some taps.

 

Good enough for me. Was a great day despite the heavy wind and I didn't get rainned on.

 

Here is a couple more bass from today.

 

 

I may head back to Pigeon tomorrow and try again. :Gonefishing:I got a full tank ready to go

Nice report, btw how does that red crank bait work in the 7th picture with the walleye. I was looking at that exact bait and was not sure if it was worth my purchase.

No Sir! More fun to catch lots of frisky fighters than spend 8 hours and catch one big fish.

It is one of my "go to" crankbaits on a partly overcast dark and windy day.

 

Got lots of bass on it. Was suprised the first walleye nailed it hard.

 

This is a pic from 2007. Look at how small the bass is. This lure drives 'em nutz

 

The other pic shows a new patern Rapala Tail Dancer in "bleeding olive". Got it this past winter.

 

Here is a good pic of it from today:

 

 

I like changing up especially when you keep working the same water.

Great Report. The fish seem to be really active on pigeon and you seem to be catching them using various baits. Good Job! Thanks for sharing.
