tizfun Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 We started out day in Telegraph Narrows. Spent about 5 hours with nothing.. Didn't see anyone catching at all. Boated down to Shermans Point, a boatload of boats here and didn't see any action here either.. Fished here for about an hour and left deeper into Hay Bay.. At 3:00pm the fishing began, one fish after another for the next hour or so.. We managed 17 walleye and 3 sheephead.. Biggest 2 were around 22 inches and the rest all between 13-17 inches... Kept 4 for dinner and then made our way back to the launch.. So after 7 hours of nothing we got lucky the next 2... So glad we made the moves..

Mike the Pike Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Not a banner year for me. I don't bother with worm harnesses during the tournament as I know I could catch more.Not many large fish caught this way but it does happen. Barely slept all weekend fished and fished and fished. Only managed to catch a 3 lb eater and a wee 3 lb pike. was cold out there but the Mustang survival suit is worth every cent. The full moon was so bright Saturday night one could read a book out there. For me its all about getting out there and relaxing.Fish are just a bonus. I feel good. Until next year.....Um I mean May 24th I am sure it will be better then. MTP Edited May 8, 2012 by Mike the Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishhunter Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Was a Very hard opener. With lots of changing to find a lure and color they wanted we managed 13 sat. Sunday was even harder with only one fish for 7 hours of fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I was out there again this morning for about 5 hours and only got 1 perch, I thought Sat was slow! Today was brutal, just soft little nibbles (when there was anything at all) and only 1 fish caught. It was really nice out there today though, gorgeous day.
