    I've been using a fly rod mostly but also catch them on light spinning gear and a float.

    Yea but sometimes they suspend and I get them on deep divers. Everyday is different with changing wind and current. That's what keeps things interesting.

    JT I've been chasing stream trout, panfish and getting ready for smallmouths on Sat. I decided it was time to see if the eyes were around and I guess there are some to be had. Trolling with very heavy bottom bouncers and stick baits is my most productive method but definitely not the most fun way to fish. I tried bucktails and jigging spoons but they didn't produce for me today, I will continue to experiment and perhaps find other productive methods.

    Yep I got some on a bead head dropper off the popper and some on the popper but the dinks kept hitting the nymph. I need to do more experimenting to see if I can find something that the big ones take and smaller ones don't.

    Bluegills

    Kevin J Legg posted a topic in Panfish

    Bluegills are suspending over and in the weed in 3-12 fow. Some will hit poppers on surface but many want something down a few feet. The problem is the big ones are mixed with many smaller ones so a lot of sorting is required to get the real big ones. You can easily see them and the big ones are definitely more selective. With patients and experimenting very large ones are attainable.

    I like perch best as they are a little firmer and can be used in more ways than crappie. That said if they are fried I doubt many people can tell the difference between the taste of most good white fleshed fish. I find the difference is more of a texture thing. I too take the dark meat and lateral line off walleye and other larger fish. I also like pike and it works well for grilling,

    Winchester sent me a UPS label to mail back unused shells, box they came in and misfired shell. Said they would send a certificate for new shells. Doesn't get me the missed tom but at least they back their product and are investigating.

    JT just keeps after them!

    Not hearing of much but a few lakers up Henderson way. Oswego may be a better choice.

    Fished on a friends boat out of Henderson. Ran to Sangri La and trolled toward Chaumont. Marked a fair amount if bait but only caught 1 walleye, 1 pike and 1 drum. Looks like the eyes may be headed out of the shallows toward the open water shoals.

    Fishing can be great on those shoals in Aug or even earlier. I also catch many in the SLR.

    Still a few crappies hanging around weed beds and bluegills are also above the weeds and some still on the beds. Not hot and heavy but you can still get a half pail of nice panfish. Fun on fly rod and poppers.

    I've fished that area and over on Charity and other shoals on Canadian side. Did 14 walleye day last year with all big fish plus a 7.3 lb smallie last year.

    Early summer they are easy to target

    The smallmouths have been an issue fishing for walleyes. When I get into 17 fow or less the rods start firing with big smallies. Sometimes I had multiple fish on at a time and I had to move to deeper water to avoid catching them. Many were in the 16-20" range. I would think they would be around for the opener. Stick baits off boards and shallow set riggers. Come opening weekend I may try long lining some shallow divers with light spinning gear if I don't fish Chippewa Bay.

    I'll likely try Calf Island soon. Also caught a bunch of browns there last year. Thanks for the information Fleet Tracker.

    Good advice. I've lived here nearly forty years and fish most days so I have a good handle on things. Feel free to send me a pm if you need further help.

    Way to go. My wife and I caught many fish this morning just no eyes.
  20. Kevin J Legg
    Returned to Chaumont today and caught no walleyes. Drum, pickerel, pike and so many smallmouths I had to move out into deeper water but couldn't not one walleye. Looked like charters and others were in search mode. What a difference a couple days can make.
  21. Kevin J Legg
    I'm going to try to send a photo.

    Chaumont

    Kevin J Legg posted a topic in Walleye

    Got blown off at10:30 but not before catching 5 eyes, 3 smallmouths, 2 drum, 2 perch, and a pike. Largest eye and pike were each a shade under 9 lbs. Also 4, 5, 6, and 8 lb. eyes. Fish had alewives in their stomachs and most came off stitch baits from boards.
  23. Kevin J Legg
    I caught a couple nice ones at Chamount on Thursday.

    Spent the weekend at my friends camp near Deseronto on Quinte. Hit a great bite last night and caught about 15 fish in a half hour. Not huge but plenty in the 15 to 21" range for the table. Evening bite was better than morning but you could catch fish when you found them. A good weekend with good friends.

    Fished the east side this morning and caught two, One 6 and one 7 lbs. and a pike . Hit one in the first 15 minutes and then another about an hour later and that was it. We saw a few others boated. Both came off a Bomber with a couple small split shot off the board.
