I got ya covered buddy.  I'm off work for the next 5 days so I'm planning on doing some walleye fishing and I'll make sure I get some on your behalf.  I'm not too psyched up about this new moon coming Friday but the bite should still be pretty good because the water temps are prime right now and I have been seeing some huge schools of baitfish in my spots which means only one thing.  Dinner time for some walleyes and I'll be right there to set up the table for em. 

I figured you'd be up to the task!   If that darn buck would have come 5 yards closer tonight I'd be done hunting and onto some more fishing myself.  Good luck!!

Nice pics. Anyone fishing the " big chill" is ok, whether you limit out or not.

Nice fish Slipbob!!  I think this week is setting up to be great.  Mid November with a warm up to mid 50 deg days and the first quarter moon at the end of the week.  Sounds like prime conditions to me!  I'm back to work tommorow but hope to get out after em' toward the end of the week.  The fish in this neck of the woods seem to be transitioning to their winter hangouts as well.

Maybe you aren't slippin, it could just be that the population of walleye in your secret place is slippin.

Hey I was just courious Slipbob, do those walleye or any fish in your area have high levels of murcury in them? Here in Maine we get acid rain from our neighbors to the west of us, and our fish have murcury in them from it. There are warnings in the law books about eating fresh water fish. The general guideline is about 1 to 2 meals of fish a month max. I think your every other night of fish exceeds that.  . Do you have any problems with acid rain in your area?

Not a chance.  The lake has the unique problem of being underfished and the walleyes are there in huge numbers.   Imagine a lake several miles long that has at most 5 or 10 guys over the course of two days fishing the whole place.  Pretty sweet!  Even lakes that have huge populations of certain fish have periods especially in early spring, summer and late fall when the shore fishing is just tough no matter how good you are.  Now if you have or use a boat it's a whole different story.  Catching fish with a boat when you can troll and use sonar is almost too easy.    I know a lot of so called walleye gurus who can catch limits consistantly while trolling with dowriggers and planer boards but once you stick em on the bank of their favorite walleye lake it's not so easy then.   

having a boat definitely makes all the difference for numbers in a lake or reservoir. shore fishing for walleyes an awful slow night is 2, but a fast night is only 6 or 7. It generally, at least for me, is a consistent 4 fish around 15" plus... very rarely is it any better or any worse. I could go any time of year except late fall and early spring, even in the dead of summer, and get 4 walleyes about that size. GO figure, as long as you can find good fishing spots there is no reason you shouldn't be able to catch fish in the dead of summer too, I do it in 100+ degree weather!

SB,

What the latest dealio on the Res? Boat is put away  for the season so I'm shorebound now (unless I throw the canoe in somewhere). 

Looks like a free weekend ahead for me for a change.
