I would try it tonight but there will be way to much boat traffic do to the fireworks.I will try tomorrow night and hopefully sun. morning.

I planned on going fishing this morning,got up at 4am, buddy called said it was raining so we decided not to go. Went back to bed got up a couple hours later and looked like a perfect eye morning. I don't mind fishing in the rain if it starts after I am there,but I have a hard time convinceing my self to go if it is raining before I even leave the house. I will hopefully try it now sun. morning if everything goes well.

That was something I just tried Kevin. I seemed to have to let out a lot more line than I like to get down, I am gonna try to come up with some heavier ones .I have some .50cal brass that I have filled and they are about 9oz I have also tried them but only with harnesses. Last night was the first time I tried it with any kind of crankbait I know I have read a lot of your post and you are very successful using them. I hold my fishing rod and it gets hard on the wrist and forearm by the end of the night. I have rod holders but I would rather have it in my hand.

Fished the river tonight with my wife and daughter. Wen caught one limit of smallies all decent size ranging from 2 to 4 lbs we through them all back we were targeting eyes. My daughter caught the biggest one on a harness in about 35 fow and the rest came on homemade bouncer 3oz with a # 11 rapala all in about 35 to 40 fow. I will try to get down there either thurs. or fri. morning and give the eyes another try and to see what the morning s are like. I would rather fish mornings but it is hard trying to get everyone schedule to work out. Maybe I will see you down there one of those mornings Kevin if I can make it down there. I got a new boat back to basics my favorite its another Alaskan green with a 60 hp Honda. I will be looking for you if I come down.

Fished the river tonight lost a nice fish that felt like it could have been a walleye and caught one eye about 4.5lbs. I also caught a couple small bass. I caught the walleye in about 38 fow on a homemade uzick spinner and a 3oz bottom bouncer. Probably try again sat night or maybe sun. morning.

I been wanting to go,trying to get things done around the house. The last time I went was last sun. up to Lisbon didn't do to bad went in the evening. Waiting for the new boat to come in hopefully be here this week.

Way to go Kevin. Hopefully it wont be long and be able to start getting the on the river close to home. Cant wait to see how this year will be on the river.

Kevin,I had my ssv 14 yhere three weeks ago after the perch you shouldnt have any problems. I was told that when you back the boat away from the dock there are some rocks on the opposite shore line in the water that you have to watch for . There were some bigger boats just ahed of me a big fiberglass and a lund rebel 1625. The water was higher than also.

Fished up that way over the weekend not as good as previous yers but did all right.

Thanks Kevin for the update, a friend of mine was passing through there on friday, said when he drove by the parking lot the dec was just pulling out. He said there was know other cars around either.

Was there sun and a guy had a couple buckets of really nice perch. He said he caught them early morning than they shut right off.I am thinking maybe like from 6 to 9 in the am.

Was wondering if anyone knows the status on the walleyes in Rossie. I heard today they may have just started, also wondered what the water temp. might be. Was at Krings sun a guy there said the perch bite was on in morning and he had at least 2 pails of some really nice fish.
