Open Water 2006 Reports Part II

[north shore]

Slim pickins tonight at the bar. Hit the water at 4pm with Hendo. A bit chilly but we fished till 6 and Hendo had one eye and I , well caught one small northern about 20".!5-20 waders between the point and the manor and only saw 6 fish caught. The parking area was jammed packed. One guy arrived with a 20' pace v'nose trailer. He took up a couple spaces and then some.The wind calmed down when we departed but has since picked and swung to the east. Had a chat with CNY Frank and CNY Outdoorsman tonight. Jeff will be hitting the area later for a dbl if they are there. The Roque Kid may be arriving later too.Timmy; Thanks for posting some great pics of the boys.So much fun with the crew.

Timmy - Tumbled in a barrel - beat up - skunked! You did catch the dumbest largemouth in the lake though. Landscaping- im going over in a bit to spread some fertilizer...

[CNYFrank]

[CNYFrank]

[CNY Tim]

Dark Cloud - When your done weeding and seeding gimme a call..

North Shore - No problem enjoyed taking the boys pictures. You know how bored I get taking pictures of big fat walleyes pictures, get's old quick

[roquekid]

bar was atleast halfway productive lastnight. made a late trip around midnight after the old man told me not to waste my time. had a nice 10-15 outta the east and it pushed a nice chop in. CNY outdoorsman and his father joined me as they watched me catch fish. picked up 2 in the channel within 5 casts and though hmmm, this could get interesting. managed to loose the rear hook on my challenger so i switched up and hit the preechers box, picked up one more, waited it out for a bout 20 mins and finally said goodbye. so all in all, started out good, ended not so good. finished with 2 19's and a 16

my dog and my gun... they comfort me

Nice report Rogue Kid, just talked to Frank he's heading for an early bite tonight.

[roquekid]

timmy- let me know if u get a call from frank. myself and dad and maybe jeff will be heading down tonight if he gets into them. the wind is supposed to be super strong tonight so i have a feeling it might be slim pickins. i drove around the beach today at about 3pm and she was really rockin and rollin with about 3 fters. if not the early bite then ill see if it calms down and we might hit it late and try a double. either way we will let you know how we make out

[HENDO542]

Thanks for the good time ones agin northshore. Tim thanks agin for the help the other nite. The weather tonite says snow up north snow for us tues.+ wed. nite but back in the 40s by fri. May get get some more long rod fishing.

[CNY Lee]

Another great night for the eyes, pick 2 in 5 cast and the third came about a dozen cast later. Called my old man and waited for him to show up and he managed to put 2 on shore then the wind switched from the west at about 20mph and pushed all the dead weeds into our area. It felt like old times tonight with the cold wind and snow falling. It was snowing and lighting at the same time and that was cool. I can't believe how high the water is for this time of the year.

[CNYFrank]

did not go . . .saw the flags at full wave and decided don't need to go there and exercise my casting arm.

[CNY Tim]

Way to go Lee! Talked with North Shore this morning and the Rogue Kid was doing some bridge work last night and it paid off with those ripping west winds.

[roquekid]

well with low expectations, last night turned out good. hit the water at about 1145 and fished til 4 am. we found a few fish and a place with not much wind so we stuck it out. attempted the double but couldnt quite swing it, got out to late. cny outdoorsman and I picked up 7 last night at schiebls. 1 24.5, 1 23, 2 20's 2 18's and 1 16. didnt do too bad. 3 hook perch challenger was the ticket. i ended up catching 6 and jeff caught one. he picked up a new rod the other day and has only caught one fish on it so far. so after a while i decided to lay back and see if he could break the new rod in. but all in all not a bad night.

CNY Tim- next time you come out or get a minute lemme know i want you to teach me how to put pics on here... i got a couple nice ones from last night

[CNYFrank]

So you bats are eating bugs eh? How was the water conditions . . .besides cold? Get a job! wink,wink

[Fishingking]

is it true I heard taht The Manor was closed down to fishing and is being patroled does this include "the watering hole" as well?

[roquekid]

this is true. i was there last night and there are a bunch of barrels and banners and big posted signs that say NO FISHING.

[roquekid]

lets try this again...

[CNY Tim]

Rogue Kid - Now that your a photo expert take some time to teach the old man will ya Very well done on the eyes Mikey, can they get any fatter I'll let Franky know that Z's area is open and I am sure Franky and Donny could have had em on the right... Well done I knew that spot was just a matter of time...

[insurance guy]

That's a sweet bunch of walleyes there boys. Couple of those fish look like they needed to hit the gym and slim it down a bit My boat's at the dealer overnight getting the engine serviced so no fishing for me which is too bad because I can just smell the walleye in the air tonight. Hopefully I'll get her back in time to go tomorrow and work the night bite again for a couple hours. Going to be a little colder out there on the boat now though

[CNY Tim]

Holy crappola John you mean thosee stoagies get a rest, OMG There in trouble

A little colder is not a bad thing if we can keep it that way. Fired up the snowblower in anticipation of the white stuff heading our way, looked at my fish trap pro sitting idly by in the corner of the garge begging me to take her out for a spin, hey one can dream right

[HENDO542]

Nice job roquekid smart move where you went. You are just like the old man you will get them if they are there

Yeah Tim, those Stoagies don't have to worry about running into me tonight! I need to make sure that I get that Mercury serviced. She really is due for an oil change and some new grease in the lower unit plus that Minn Kota bowmount failed me and luckily is still under warranty so I need to get that taken care of too. I've got a backup transom electric I can run til we get a new one in. I'm hoping we get some ice within a couple weeks and I've got my snowblower near the garage door just in case.

[north shore]

WOW:Picked up 4 in about a half hr. Snow that is. No I didn't slam them tonight but i did venture out for a bit. Amidst the snow and wind I hit the bar for about a half hr and notta bump.Headed for Schneibles and found one guy across the riffer from me. Didn't see him land any fish but his light was on and off. Maybe he just enjoyed watching it snow.Yes it was. Had one fish on for a couple cranks then off he went. A few fish surfacing in the riffer but couldn't get them to hit a thing. Even went to a floating roque but to no avail.

We got 12++ inches of the white stuff last night, I was cleaning my car off early this morning. My neighbor asked me if I ordered the snow, I said no I wanted just ice and bitter cold tyvm. He is an avid walleye fisherman, but he doesn't go out on the ice as he has diabetes and gets cold fast. I think the long pole fishing has neared its end, but it is supposed to be 40 again this weekend. Mon-Tuesday are gonna be 15 at night, so things might gel soon i'm hoping. Wallys are yummy, but a nice fresh mess of blugills or crappies are tasty too.

Think Cold :-)

TO Tim

[CNYFrank]

passed last night . . .although was encouraged to go . . .hmmm what was that all about. I think someone thought there was a football game on and then she could watch what she wanted. Ha . . .got stuck with me instead. However, could only sit just so long and decided that a couple of 4 and 3 mm jigs needed some gold applied to them . . .just to be ready for the ice in two weeks.
