great job..it help when the wind blows...hot.flat, calm days are for bass not eyes...and so long 4 now;john

isnt it amazin how pretty lures catch fish????

how the water level has dropped!!!!!! it must of gone down at least a foot since my last visit!!! on the water by 6am and totally calm waters.caught 1 catfish and 1 small northern[28in] i a spinner i tied my self!!saw a few guys trollin for tigers...may have to try that next time>>>and so long for now;john

nice eyes

very nice!!! ive been usin sonars for 35+yrs..ive always cast them along outside weededges.never really tried jiggin with them.how do you keep the trebles from catchin the line???and so long 4 now;john

i just hope we can keep those fish eatin machines called cormorants in check!!!!!!

you will find some weeds just south of the islands..been castin #5 mepps in white and yellow.5fow or less..hope this helps and so long 4 now;john

fished from 6am till 1130am.2guys caught 15 eyes and 6 large sunnies . all on dixies in 15-24fow.still catchin eyes when we left just ran out of time,,,, and so long 4 now;john

it takes lots of focus!!!

fished from 530am till 1130am.2 smallies 1 catfish,2 lings and had 2 tigers follows right to the boat but no takers!!bassholes where not present today!!still sooo much better than work...and so long 4 now;john

fished from 6am till 1130 am.3-15fow.4 catfish a smallie ,my first gar.and semi-caught a very large northern pike,had it in the net but the net was too small and it jumped out of the net!!!!i know sounds like a fish story!!!!! unfortunate i was alone !!!had one more follow right to the boat but she wouldnt take,,,great day to be on the water minus the bass-holes who blow by at 4-mph and think nuthin of it..funny how i never quite see too many teeth hunters with such lack of respect..must come with the boat...and so long 4 now;john

ok.head east find bouy 125 and jig a black jig off the bottom in 28-32 fow...make sure the jig hits the bottom on every jerk of the rod..keep goin east...if you get to bouy 123 with no action go back to 125 and try deeper yet, but on the north side of bouy 125.repeat.if still no luck you can try driftin a worm harness in green or blue in the same area,if that fails...go back to shake shoals and catch green smelly bass....and so long 4 now;john

caught 1 sunnie and 1 catfish...saw 3 gar sunning themselves and a bald eagle....had 3 pike follow my lures but no takers...even tried trollin in 20 fow..not a bite but plenty of marks...really couldnt ask for a better day weather wise..tried sight fishing and no luck there either...and so long 4 now;john

i never had luck vertical jiggin with sonars always cast and retrive.but sonar in the middle hole with a snap swivel and cast along weed beds.hope this helps and so long 4 now;john

jim and kirk cove has told me bout drifting crwlers around his place but i always endin up snaggin a LAKER[bOTTOM] minus that we fish pretty much the same territory..and thanxs for the info;and so long 4 now'john

well i always catch the silvers when im trin for eyes..soooooooo,troll in 20 -35 fow with worm harnesses and j13 raps in various colors..mabey you will find the eyes..and so long 4 now;john

so tell me trophyseeker where on gull did you try???how deep did you try???im just tring to put together some game plan for next year...and thanxs;john

i would say the average size is 10in some push 12 but few and far in between,

fished from 6am till 1230pm.1 follow of a northern pike and lost one when i set the hook!!!caught a few monster sunnies hiting j13 rapalas!!! the bait was almost as large as the sunnies.a few silver bass and largemouth and a smallie finished out the catching.even tried the ditch and no eyes to be found,,no one else was targetting fish with teeth saw 2 other boats who where after bass...and so long 4 now;john

thanxs for the info!!!!!ive caught eyes from 60-5 fow on the GULL.we go the same time every year and every year i struggle to find somethin consistent..i normally jig in the 12 -29 fow usin worms..mabey leeches is the key??????and so long for now.john

we stayed at kirk cove.and your right bout the canadian national bird.the sqeeters make it almost impossible to fish past dark.ive never tried leeches there.how deep did you find the eyes??? i was always markin bait but few fish!!thanxs for the input...and so long 4 now;john

congrats!!!

not many eyes boated but the rum was cold and the food was great ..4 guys 2 boats..15 eyes,i caught the biggest 5lbs and the most 6eyes..a few bass thrown in too,the wether played havoc with us tuesday and wed.80+deg.thursday morning 42 plus a 30mph breeze,wether got stable on sat and we got 5 that day.all the fish caught 6-20fow..my self and my boat never got skunked .the other boat took 2 days to land 1st fish...still sooo much better than work!!!!!!and so long 4 now;john

yup too much water.......and so long 4 now

very nice eyes!!!!! its good to see the nite bite is still goin on..the daytime bite is what im trin to figure out..but if they are there at nite they must be somewhere during the day????
