Love my River!


Sluggo / NY

Recommended Posts

Drove by the river Sunday morning after my coffe, fully expecting to see it completely iced in after the previous few nights of single digits. It was pretty iced up, but I saw a boat out there... had to give it a try. With very little water to fish.. it didn't take long to search for the walleyes. After two hours I was about to hang it up and was just drifting back down to the launch when I nailed a nice eater. Motored back up and got another on the next drift! Then I beached the boat on the ice and pitched a jig to this small spot where they must have been stacked like firewood! I caught about twenty nice walleyes in about twenty casts.. kept five nice eater males.. dropped the females (including about a six pouder) back in.. and went home very happy! God.. I love my river! Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

You must like company in that 100 ft. of open water, or possibly you just like blowing your horn, the first nice weekend there won't be room for the poor guy that can only fish weekends!! What could you possibly do with all these limits of eaters? I hope there will be walleys left for my children to fish for!! fishdick 69

Fishdick.. (nice name by the way).. I don't usually respond to replies like yours, but I'm in a good mood today!

Company? I love company! I know most of the guys who fish down there and we have a ball playing "bumper boats"!

Blowing my horn? I've been fishing the river for around fifty years.. my horn blowing days are long over. The truth is.. I'm just a helpful person by nature. I enjoy sharing info and tips and seeing others do well!

All those limits? I've never had any walleye get freezer burn! We had last Wednesday's limit on Thursday.. and Sunday's limit last night. They were delicious, I might add!

As for your Grandkids.. they'll do fine! The river fishing has never been better! Prior to the spawners moving up-river, it's nothing to go down and catch a hundred under-sized walleye in an outing. Personally, I think that most of the guys are pretty concientious about letting most of the girls go back. I try to keep only males.. or females over 13 pounds ;) !

If you see me down there in my silver Sea-Nymph (2 black motors on it).. swing by and say "Hi"! Good Fishing, Sluggo (Chris)

Suck it up cupcake. Thanks for the info Sluggo.

Spreading the word of whats working makes the fishing experience alot more enjoyable for those sportsmen like myself (and anyone on this site for that matter) that takes the time to read and contribute who can't make it out all the time. I hate the greediness of fish dicks, and I'm sure there's alot more than 69 of them! :o
