trapshooter Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Lady luck was on my side today and I boated a couple picture worthy walleye. The bite has been good but they come through in waves. It'll be dead for 20 mins then fast action for a while, then dead again. All the nice female spawners are still hanging near the current areas. Makes them pretty easy to target at this time of year. Makes catch and release on those big females all the more important. Speaking of C&R, we caught the same 24" walleye two times in 15 mins. She had a big scar on her side so we knew it was the same fish. Anyhow, here's some fish porn. This 27.5"er was my 3rd fish of the day.... 5 mins in At the end of the day we stopped back at the spot where I got the 27.5" and low and behold.... another nice walleye. 27"
Joeytier Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 More beautiful fish from gods country. :worthy:
huntervasili Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Nice going those are some beatiful walleye... And its always a laugh when you can get one hungry bugger who just wants a bite to eat
solopaddler Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Awesome Ben. I wish my lake had current areas to target, that would make things a lot easier. (tough bite for me last week).
JohnAB Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Lac Seul serves up a couple of more beauties. Good job Ben.
limeyangler Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 awesome again Mr. beattie. so....got any room in your boat this week (nudge nudge...wink wink)
Leecher Posted May 19, 2009 Report Posted May 19, 2009 Great report and pics Ben You are so lucky to be able to get into quality eyes like that Excellent job You might want to bring along a paper puncher to mark a fin to be able to identify any fish you caught before.... that's what my brother-in-law and I do up at his lake for bass Here's an example of a bass I caught last year and notice the little hole in the upper part of the tail fin It doesn't hurt the fish and you would definitely see that if you catch the same fish twice Again awesome job Ben!!! and thanks for sharing Jacques
trapshooter Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks everyone. Simon, we'll set something up when things aren't quite as busy as they are now. I'm looking fwd. to it already. Jacques - good to see C&R is working for you as well. Never thought of that method.
