Roy Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Had a bit of a rough day yesterday and decided to go sit on the water for a coupla hours. Launched at 7PM or so and did a leisure, slow trip down river a mile or so. I thought I'd drag a ReefRunner or a Rapala DD behind a bottom bouncer.....hey!, it's easier than jigging. I thought it would be a quiet evening but there were two other guys trolling. Surface temp was around 57F and I stayed in around 20FOW. Was marking fish pretty well everywhere. Only did 4 or so 1000 foot runs. I guess I got 7-8 fish. I kept the 3 smallest for the table. The walleye should be here (in this spot) in a week or two.
Terry Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 sounds like good fishing yup you find the fish and the big boats move in to troll around you
misfish Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 I thought maybe this was a walleye report,and it was. LOL Nice job Roy.
Guest mistyriver1 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Good stuff Roy. Nice looking meal there. I just got some reefrunners this year and like them so far.

tonyb Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Those are some great looking fish Roy, good job! I think I have only ever caught 1 Sauger and it was a 'cigar' sized fish. Thanks for the GPS co-ordinates, see you tomorrow! Tony
Joey Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Glad you got out for a bit Roy, and catch fish to boot. Nice pickerel. How you liking the Lowe? Joey
Roy Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Posted May 30, 2007 Thanks folks. Yeah Tony.....it's just a question of time before someone PMs admin to ask if I could photoshop my GPS background. :-) See ya tomorrow.
Smokey Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Great job Roy. Been a long time since you've actually posted a fishing report. Hope you enjoy the meal. Thanks
setomonkey Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Looks like a good dinner, Roy! I'm not sure if I've ever caught a sauger, how do you tell the difference? I looked it up online and the only reliable sign I could see was that sauger don't have the white spot on the tail like walleye do, otherwise they can be quite similar in colour etc. Mike
fishnsled Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Looks like a good dinner, Roy! I'm not sure if I've ever caught a sauger, how do you tell the difference? I looked it up online and the only reliable sign I could see was that sauger don't have the white spot on the tail like walleye do, otherwise they can be quite similar in colour etc. Mike I haven't caught a sauger in years but I remember that they had patches on them. If you look at Roy's pic of the fish, it's really prominent on the smaller one. Nice report there Roy! I can't believe those other boats moved in on ya. The nerve.
Whopper Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Well done Roy good report. Last week I caught my first sauger and told the guy I was with "this fish looks like the saugeye that I catch back home except no white spot on the tail" and later that night someone brought a couple in to eat and showed me the difference. Hope you enjoyed your dinner! Whopper
