As most of you know I've spent most of my summer at Boysen doing the AIS check stations. Not much else to do out there besides fish when your done working. Me and the other technician went out almost every night after work. Through the end of June catfishing was excellent, with the average fish being about 12#, the smallest 5# and the largest 25#. All fish over 9# were released. I think we probably got a total of 25-30 cats that month, then the lake filled up and warmed up and we couldn'f find them anymore.
After catfishing was over, we spent the rest of the summer bank fishing for walleye and crappie. Windy nights we fished walleye on the windblown shorelines with cranks, largest being 25". Calm nights we hit up the crappie with minnows or jigs biggest being 14.5". The flooded vegetation along the shore makes it tough to fish, but its worth it! I would say the summer total is 70-80 crappie, 3 sauger, and a couple dozen walleyes.
Boysen treated us well, even if you don't have a boat, don't get discouraged, just put in your time and find the right place and you can do just as good! More pics will come when i have more time.
