Headed to watertown next weekend. Anyone having any luck fishing? Pelican, kampeska?

[sloughshark]

Kampeska has been pretty good for walleyes, although a lot of sorting is needed to get your 14 inch fish. I also have been catching pretty good numbers of crappies, 9-11 inches mostly. Been pulling #5 shad raps in 5-8 feet of water.

I havent tried pelican for about a week now, It was pretty slow, but the walleyes are very very nice fish if ya can find them.

I was up to Bitter two weeks ago and absolutly smacked the walleyes. It was a while ago, but I can't imagine they would be totally negative.

Im going out to Kampeska over the fourth. what is biting

biting good and what are you using to get them

[sloughshark]

Was out on Kampeska last night, caught upwards of 30 fish from 6pm to 9pm. We caught walleyes, crappies, smalmouth, and rock bass. We were pulling #5 shad raps in 6-9 feet of water. Of all the walleyes we caught, only one was over the 14 inch mark. The lake will more than likely be covered with recreational boaters & jetskis and such over the fourth, and that may affect the fishing, but its hard to say.

Good Luck

heading to kampeska on saturday. sloughshark, has the weather been fairly stable there? it has been nothing but up and down here in fargo

[sloughshark]

yeah its been pretty stable for the most part, except for the little cold front that passsed through yesterday. Was on Kampeska last night again fished from 6-9 pm it was a little slower, finally found some decent waldos out in the deeper water, boated a 24,17, & 14.5 incher then it was time to boogie. I didnt catch as many as most days, but the quality was much better.

good luck i'll probly be out saturday after noon once work is over. Work sucks, go fishing!

mike-

i tried getting ahold of you to find the hot bite this past friday. too bad we couldn't have met up at the bar and talked fishing or something

[Mike Walerak]

I'm sorry I was out of town for most of the weekend. I have been heering about a decent bite on Lake Thompson but have had time to get there. I have been sticking pretty close to home fishing Lake Sinai and the 81 Ponds. Sinai was very slow last week with the cold front and the Ponds were alright to me last night giving me some action right at dusk.

Something about that just doesn't add up. The limit is 4, right?

[ivegottabite]

i believe that is what they had from friday night and saturday. sorry for confusion. just going off what he told me, hate to get my numbers mixed up and accuse someone of being over their limit
