Nice eyes Kevin. I just wanted to thank you for all the information you have shared. Without it I know I would’ve never caught these fish. I finally got a chance to get back out on the water this weekend. It was my first successful night with walleyes on the river. Saturday night my father and I picked up three a 21”, 22”, and a 26”. Went back out Sunday night and picked up a 25”. All off the same spot. My 26 inch and my fathers 25 inch were personal best for both of us.

That’s cool. I’ll have to try it sometime. Thanks

Glad to see you guys are still catching them. When I got up to my place Friday afternoon I found a broken water line in the basement and 3’ of water. Spent the weekend starting to cleaning that mess up. Hopefully I’ll get back out again soon.

Nice work Kevin. Are you finding them in the 30-40’ range? I’ve been out a few times over the past two weekend, but have only picked up some bass. No eyes. Hoping to give it another shot this weekend if the weather is decent.

Nice job guys. I can’t wait to get back up there this weekend to give it another shot.

Great job Kevin. Those are really nice fish. It’s really impressive how well you have them dialed in. I tried for eyes Saturday night and marked some fish, but no luck. Being new to walleye fishing I still need some practice to get the technique down better. Running the boat in the current, reading the depth finder, watching for other boats, and fishing in the dark definitely takes a lot of skill. Hope I can get to your level at some point. Much respect.

Congrats. Funny how that works.😜

I talked my wife into going with me for walleyes last evening. Didn’t get any, but did we did get a couple bass and my wife caught her first pike. Which is also the biggest fish she’s ever caught. Now she’s hooked. She trying to figure out when’s the next time we can go back out and wants to call in sick to go fishing. 😂

Yes.

Went out with Pat from Irish Luck charter last Saturday evening on the river and had a great time.

Weather was awesome on the river yesterday. Got 97 keepers with 2 of them over 13”.

Bounced around to a few spots last Saturday (4/2) morning for about 2 1/2 hours without a bite. Once we found them 60’ down dad and I caught 28 in about a half hour. Kept 21. Hated having to leave, but I had a contractor meeting me at the house.

Saturday was a beautiful day on the river. Dad and I limited out on perch in about 4 hours. Tossed back another 30-40. Could only fit about half of them on the board.

Thanks for the knowledge Kevin. Your posts are alway helpful. Good luck on the water this summer.

Nice job Kevin. Never fished for crappies before. Caught a couple as a kid just by chance. What conditions and bait do you usually look for and use? I’m assuming shallow water and worms, but I’m just guessing. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys. My father and I tried eel bay on Tuesday. Picked up 6 perch (3 keepers) and a small mouth. Still learning the river. Fished up here all the time as a kid 30+ years ago, but all I knew back then was when the boat stopped grandpa said this is the spot and he was usually right.

I bought a place between A-bay and Clayton a couple years ago, I only got out twice all last year with the flooding and once so far this year, but haven’t been able to find any perch. If anyone has any suggestions of places to try in this area or depths I should be trying I would appreciate it. Also, I typically used worms and minnows. Should I be trying something else? Thanks for any help.

Nice job Kevin. If you don't mind me asking what depth were you finding them? I have been out 4 times in the past couple weeks fishing all different depths between A-bay and Clayton and haven't caught anything. I was thinking that maybe it was to early. I just just bought a place up there 2 years ago so I'm still learning the area. The last time I fished the river was about 25 years ago. Any advice would be be greatly appreciated.
