Traveling Circus

What is the primary forage fish for walleyes in the bay? Is there ever anything in their stomachs? I've done a fair amount of perch fishing in the Bay, and never caught an incidental walleye....... several browns, but never a walleye.

you should be fine, just don't let your trailer tires get beyond the last post of the dock....... with the water this high, there's no way you should need to......bring boots.

I have not been, but can't imagine why it wouldn't work.....

The good fishing continues....... 3 Kings and 6 or 7 Browns in 2.5 hours..... The most interesting thing of the evening was a brown that puked up a gobie almost 7" long........ spoons, 8' on my Cannon Downrigger, and various sticks off the boards...... 12 - 18 FOW. The warmer the pocket, the better the fishing. I did hit what I think was an ice cube the size of a couple 5 gallon buckets........ it was pretty much below the surface, so be careful out there.

Congrats and good shootin'....... looks like a pretty healthy bird!

On Saturday it looked like a big flock of cormorants got blown off the lake and took up residence in the creek. In the frogwater section between East Fork Marine and the lake, I estimated 150 birds. I'd never seen that before in the past 30 years. They've been in the lower section since then. Yesterday evening, I launched and motored towards the lake, and there were probably 80 birds sitting on the spit to the East of the creek, along the East bay......

Thanks for the link Corey.....

I've wondered how well/far they can see with eyes out of the water........ a quick google search didn't provide a good answer other than they(fish) are probably shortsighted in air. But what does that mean.....???? focus at 6" or 6'????

The behavior I witnessed wasn't porpoising, the fish was swimming with it's head and eyes out of the water. it wasn't a quick surfacing and descent. The fish swam or suspended for minutes with it's head on or above the surface.

Last night while fishing a LO trib, I witnessed a pike swimming very slowly with it's head just above the surface. Sometimes it would submerge so that just the front of it's mouth was out and other times you could see the entire head and eyes. This is the second time I've witnessed this. Both times in the spring........... Any theory on what's going on here?

Any theories as to why they like that water?
