slow right now

 

sloooowwww lol need rain

 

not sure that will even help. Heard some white bass being caught and carp are very plentifull now. I have a bad feeling the good fishing is over for 2012

 

I would not waste the gas and I live 5 minutes away.

 

We will know by Sunday/Monday what is in store for the river. Supposed to get 1.5" of rain over the entire basin between tomorrow and Saturday morning.

If that doesn't bring up more fish, it is over. My guess: white bass will be thick

 

Believe it or not the fishing has picked up some. Saw few limits today, lots with three, others with one or two. Not as many empty stringer as the last few day!

 

Don't know where you was fishing at. But I was out at the inland and I only saw maybe 12 fish in 5 hours.

The fishing is not that great right now. Saw more white bass caught than walleyes. Saw a grand total of 5 walleyes caught in 3 hours on Ford street this evening.

Come on now, bad reports aren't good for business ya know!

 

Where and how do you fish for white bass? Do you fish the same way for white bass as walleyes?

LMAO I didn't say it was great! I said it picked up some! I didn't say I didn't see any empty stringers, I said I didn't see as many! And I certainly didn't say the fish were exclusive to Schroeders that ya'll need to come there, I said I see guys come in and out all day! We do not hold our campers prisoner...they are free to fish anywhere they choose! Never felt the need to lie to increase business. Just report what I have seen and heard.

You fish for them everywhere. They eat everything. What do you have in your tacklebox? If it's got hooks you'll catch em.

 

will a floating jig with a weight work good for white bass

 

Saw a bass caught today. I think it's going to be a bad year for the Eye's. I think we can only hope for some rain to bring the water in and another push of fish. It's ridiculously slow and the snags are getting me like never before. I think all this nice weather put way too many guys on the river and way too many sets of line on the bottom.

I think it is going to be a GREAT year for the river spawn. Perfect conditions...lower water, no chocolate milk flooding, etc. etc.

They just all came at once IMO...got 'er done and got the hell out.

This has been the most intellegent post of the entire "run season". This spring I predict will be the much needed "shot in the arm" that the walleye population needed. No big blows, no floods. Perfect water temps., water conditions. I bet it is as close to the 2003 hatch as we can get.

 

Well i don't think there's going to be another big push of fish. I'm sure they're going to straggle through April, but I don't think we'll see the clouds of fish that were present last year. The bite wasn't great this year from what I noticed.

 

I got my limit off the Fort Friday afternoon in a little over 2 hours. Had to move several times to cover water but thats what it took to get it done. Do not be contempt to stand forever in one spot.

 

I won't fish the Fort, not standing in a line of guys. I fish across from the fort, but the snags this year have been absolutely unforgiving. I had one evening where I got just about every snag out and I must have used my limit, because I've had to retie about every third cast since then. Even moved down to Ford street the other day and was getting snagged every other cast, and I never get snagged down there. No thanks, Ill stay home...

 

River went up over 3 1/2 feet since yesterday morning....hope it helps another run come in but have a bad feeling this run is screwed for the year......ALSO OUR RUN IN THE FUTURE IS GONNA BE SCREWED BECAUSE SO MANY ANGLERS CAUGHT AND KEPT WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY TO MANY BIG FEMALES THAT DIDNT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO SPAWN YET....IF WE WANT TO SAVE THE RUN FOR THE FUTURE WE HAVE TO LET THE LADIES GO!!!!!!

Good luck with that....

 

Caught two in morning that went home with me, BUT i let my big female go back to finish her run. saw alot of smaller fish being caught, water rising fast. Left and returned with the boat. water was crankin @ the fort, only saw 1 fish caught besides my 1 that i snagged. water unreal current debrie was getting frequent. water rose approx. 3 feet fishing was tough late. Not sure what this will do for run but will return with high hopes.

 

Park rangers shut down side cut island sat AM. for dangerous water. Please abide and be safe when crossing to the island. I saw a guy fall early this week and it ruined his daily trip. Remember go slow and step slowly and your get there saftly.

This might be a good read for you so you understand that fisherman have little effect on the future of the run.
