Night time Walleyes

[behmer]

Has anybody been catching any walleyes at night this year. I am thinking about Friday evening but haven't heard much about the subject. I may go to Chatfield or Boyd since both are open 24 hours.

any comments please post reply

The only reports of walleye catches I have heard of have been at night and that was at Chatfield. I would call Uncle Milts bait shop for current info.

Hey Behmer,
I might go to Chatfield on Friday night my self. Haven't heard any good reports but its a full moon on Friday night so it might be worth a try. My experience is that its great Walleye fishing on a full moon and great slimer fishing on a new moon. Hope that the moon is shining bright that night. Good luck and maybe all see you there. I'll probably park at the swim beach if I go.

I will probably be at Catfish Flats and work my way North along the rock piles, I will have a black 2 man Glacier shanty and my buddy will have a clam 5600 (to darn big for me)out there, we plan on leaving from work hopefully around 3:00 be on ice by 5:00 and fully functional by 6:00 until about midnight then either leave and come back at 4:00 for the morning bite or just tough it out from midnight.

Just talked to a guy who has fished Loveland quite a lot and has done very well on the eyes at night.

Hey Pescador,
Did he say where he was fishing at night? They have the north end closed off for goose hunting and thats where I'd like to fish!

Behmer,

In relation to the rookery, where are the rock piles?

[behmer]

The rocks are kinda hard to explain, I have located the pileson the south end kinda towards the left as your walking out from Catfish Flats. in water about 35-40 feet, you will suddenly find a little bit shallower water, approx 25 feet for about 10 -15 feet wide then back to 35-40 feet, I call these the rock piles, NEVER fish the sides ...skunk city, either right on top, or off to the side in level bottom,

Dan, that is Lake Loveland and the eyes are doing the best on the pipe that goes straight north from the stoplight on Colorado Avenue.

We are going to give Boyd a try tonight, but maybe we'll head to Lake Loveland.

Fished Chatfield Friday night till 10:30. Fished N.E. of swim beach in 12Ft of water. Caught 4 Eyes between 6"-12". 2 on jigging Rap (perch) tipped with minnow head and 2 on Dead stick (live minnow). Only marked 1 big one coming through and she wasn't interested. Oh well thats been par for the course for me at Chatfield. Probably should have hiked out to the pits.

Dan, I did not get your phone call until today. My cell phone does not work where we live at Pinewood reservoir so I did not turn it on till today. Sorry about that. We have taken some really big perch out of Lake Loveland this year but right now things have slowed to a standstill. It was slow all season but for perch that were that big, it was ok to wait. Now they have pretty much disappeared so guess I will have to look in other areas this week and see if I can find anything.

Fished Lake Lovland Friday night from 10 - 1, not a bite! Fished right off colorado street, like someone suggested, never had a bite! Dan, at least you caught a few, small fish are better than no fish. There were lots of people out on Saturday when we drove by.
