Thread: Eldo was tough for us Thursday afternoon

6:30 Friday morning I hit the sailboat cove,slips,trees, caught 1 smallmouth and that was it. Had a couple thumps in the trees and white perch nibbles trolling. Will try again.

Now that I see your picture with the little dog, I realized I was talking to the Dr and didn't know it at the time. I was the guy in the blue and white boat jigging the trees when you came out. We talked for a bit and I moved on. Question for you, have you ever tried minnows in those trees? I always just jig but as slow as it was I got to wondering if minnows would be better. I went to trolling and got 4 or 5 wipers, nothing big and 1 short walleye.

I usually use jigs but sometimes in the fall and winter I will get some minnows because they keep better when cold - the bait guy here in Wichita if I pay for 2 dozen he gives me 60 or 70 minnows. I use nightcrawlers alot because all species love them, I needed some Friday.

Went out till noon on Friday... caught lots of dinks and kept 27 10 inches or bigger... fish came from south end to north and in water from 4 feet deep to 27 feet deep

I usually dont get skunked but I did Friday, you did good!
