Anyone Still Fishing!

[Mike Walerak]

Has anyone been out? The reports from the guys I have talked to the bite is starting to take off on just about every lake with the exception of Lake Poinsett (which should turn around very shortly).
I have my father-in-law here duck hunting this week, so hopefully I'll be able to sneak out for a few hours of fishing.
This must be the best-worse time of year. What to do

(Hmm) Sounds like I am either going to have the lakes to myself, or there are hot bites going on and nobody is talking. LOL

I fished Thompson last Sunday in the heavy wind. Pulled plugs from 9:00-11:30am, then drifted spinners/plain hook with minnows/crawlers. Caught 2 walleyes that were barely big enought to get the hook in their mouth. Fished perch from 2:30-5:00pm and caught 6 all over 11" with the biggest at 13 1/2". If anyone has done anything on walleyes on Thompson/Henry late this week, please post a report or send an email to [email protected].

I haven't been out for a few weeks, but think I am going to head to Lake Thompson tomorrow and pull some cranks.

Let you know how I turn out if I go when I get back!!

Fished waubay last sat and sunday- caught limit of eyes both days. Fished Buffalo and caught 1 4lb eye and that was it. Cold and windy

Fished Thompson on Saturday. Kept 3 walleyes for the frying pan. All 14-15". Talked to a lot of guys at the cleaning station and 3 was the most anyone cleaning had.

Did see someone filleting a 6 pounder though (That torqued me!!)

So when do you guys think things will start taking off? I fish ocasionally in the fall, but have never got into the huge eyes.
In the past, fall fishing has been tough and often a tad overwhelming. So many options, and the fish can be anywhere. I'd like to figure a pattern out for once.

Fished Thompson on Monday. Caught 7 walleyes from 13"-18" pulling plugs. Wasted some time trying to find perch using slip bobbers. Got into some smallmouth bass in 7' of water and could have caught 25 or more. I quit after 10 in about 15 minutes. Should have kept to the plugs. Talked to two guys at the fish cleaning station who had a bucket full of perch. Otherwise everyone else mostly struck out that I talked to.

Tracker,
What depth were you fishing?
