At least there's no water moccasins to worry about!  Still, no noodling for me, thanks...

I'm hoping to get out there tomorrow or saturday, sure there will be a big crowd but will see what happens. probably need to restock my jig supply. may try some cranks if not too windy, but hate losiing them expensive SOBs.

The dam on Orman hot from both shore and boat? What are you guys using, was out last saturday and tried everything in my tackle box, and had no luck at all, the boats going by infront of us were catching walleye, but was really slow! Just looking to catch fish, not looking for your so called "secret" spots!

i'm guessing hot for both shore and boat. i usually pitch jigs and minnows or gulp/plastic, and cast crankbaits parallel to the shore if possible. this time of year, the time of day plays a big role in catching. I think dark has been good lately.

Fished the dam yesterday afternoon and evening  only caught one eye in the slot and two smallmouth bass.  Lots of ppl started to come out at 5 for the evening bite and everyone around us was cachting walleye but us.  guy to our right caught atleast 6 and the group to the left caught atleast 4 four.  Also heard of walleye being caught in cannel right before dark and catfish after dark.  both groups around us casting jigs and my only eye came on a crappie rig.  also seen a guy in a boat pick up a eye right infront of me when i first got there.

Went out fri morning and got schooled by my wife and the kids. They caught 3 slot eyes in an hour. Even my 3.5 year old had a walleye on his spiderman rod. Either it just wasn't my day or else I was too busy trying to control the boat in the waves. Tried to get out of the wind but I had enough of the high seas and left way to early.

Fished the cannel again today had 5 or 6 really light bites then at 630 a 23in cat bent my pole almost in half.  Kinda sad no eyes but the cat will eat good too.

haven't been up to orman for a while, but heading out there maybe Fri nite and Saturday. Broke down and upgraded to an older used (but newer than my older older one) boat so will be out seeing what needs to be fixed, and hopefully being able to fish. haven't been out on a boat on Orman this early, i guess i will try jigging and lindy rigs, see what happens.

Anyone have any luck out of the channel or off the dam lately? The rain and wind seems to have messed stuff up.

battled some awful conditions last week on orman. had decent luck pulling plugs, caught three in the slot, as that was about all i could do in the rain and wind (which is why i say decent luck!). tried bottom bouncing but didn't pan out. fished the south side of the lake. anyone else been out?
