Walleyes in guffin bay
Kevin J Legg replied to PAwalleye93's topic in New York Fishing Reports - Lake Ontario (South Shore)
Might want to try posting on Warm Water walleye. -
Old topic don't know how it was reposted -
I have seen mixed reports before and since I generally have a full freezer have never given them a try. -
Caught some monster drum at Chaumont, BRB, and Quinte. Never tried to eat them though.
-
Get them trolling on the lake. Not as often in the SLR.
-
Prof T , Save a few of those early morning fish for when I get back from OKC. Not much competition out there at that time (I love the solitude) and always great sunrises. Looks like there are plenty of nice fish to be had.
-
I've tried many, many different approaches on the SLR (jigs, jigging spoons, drifting bait, slip bobbers, down riggers, lead core, wire, planing boards, dipsy divers, casting sticks and cranks) and have had some success with several. I think it's Important to try a variety of tactics to find what is working on a given body of water on a particular day. Sometimes you figure out something outside the box that is very effective. I actually have tried drifting worms and minnows on slip bobbers in the current but had no success,

Full moon this weekend should really fire them up. I'll be thinking of you guys this weekend and will hit them when I return from OKC. -
I'll give them a weeks break while at my son's wedding in OKC.

I either vacuum seal or use a zip lock and add water to cover cheeks. That way you can easily keep adding cheeks and water till bag is full. There is also a nice thumb size chuck of meat in front of each pectoral fin that is worth saving.I already have a couple quart bags frozen ready to use. -
Hit them hard this morning fishing solo. Doubled on first pass and took a fish on nest 5 passes. Released 4 that were all between 20-22". The three I kept were 28"' 24" and 23".

I have a char broil oil less turkey fryer with a kabob kit. Prof T's post got me to try walleye and some goose!
-
I do similar with chunks of venison, goose, or duck breast with a sliced water chestnut in the center for crunch. Marinate in teriyaki for a few hours and grill till still rare inside. Non- game eaters gobble them. Going to try with the walleye chunks and cheeks.

No question about it . Don't leave fish to find fish but keep looking till you find them. In my opinion patients may be the most overrated quality in a good fisherman. If it isn't working you need to change up. I generally only give a spot two or three passes before moving on. That said I may return to a spot a couple hours latter and check it again. -
It should only improve. Seems to be spotty right now. Hit them good one night and slow another. Need to hit different spots and look for the bait. Good luck. -
Just have that lure and my size 14 feet for size reference.The secret is to put in the time and develop your technique. It's not easy for people trying to get started. There is a long learning curve and the river can eat a lot of gear. -
Hit them early this morning fishing solo.
-
Nice catch -
Great looking gill -
I released them this time but generally keep some as they are tasty. I have a Gheenoe with a 6 hp that I use on the Indian River Lakes for my low tech fishing.
-
Love low tech pan fishing. -
Fished an hour on an Indian River lake this evening. Caught about 15 nice ones that I release along with a half dozen small bass and some rock bass Not much more fun than catching them on a fly rod.
-
Fished Chaumont today. Marked some bait but no walleyes or pike today. Caught 4 drum, a perch, a silver bass , a pickerel, and a few smallmouths. Folks I took enjoyed the drums fight and they were the biggest fish they had ever caught but not what I was looking for. Guess it's back to the SLR for me. -
Certainly want to be cautious out there at night. I fish solo a great deal in the early morning. Very little traffic at that time but still things can happen. Knowledge of the river is vital. Get to know it well in the day and learn a few spots and gradually expand your area. Better know a small area you fish intimately and work it effectively than fish large area without much knowledge. It would be very tough without good electronics.

Sounds like you'll be locked in Roybee
