Talked to people at the launch (Catt.) yesterday they got over 100 Today they got 9 same area. Were lots of boats out only saw a few setting the hook.

Went out yesterday 9/28/2014 about 4 mi out of Catt Creek. started marking fish in about 63 FOW around where all the boats fishing for perch are....put out 2-10 color lead core poles with planer boards, plus 2 poles with braid and #1 dipsys. Started out with worm harnesses that have caught walleye in this area previously but not this time, so I switched up to some new harnesses I made. They were catching Silver Bass on the dipsys...Still trolling away from shore and the water is getting deeper but Still marking fish. Caught the first Walleye 23in 3.5lbs in 81 fow at about 9:25am on the dipsy. Started to troll along the shore west in 83 fow marking fish here and there and Catching more silver bass.. Turned around of the Center rd area and went east. Switched up the lead core lines to stick baits but no action on them. Caught a couple more walleye about 2pm around the perch fisherman. Ended up catching 3 walleye all on dipsys, Maybe a 4th that we lost about 40ft behind the boat. It was a beautiful Day to be on the water!

We went out today about 5 miles west of SP. We ended up with 135 perch.
All on salted minnows. What a beautiful day for Sept. 28. What beautiful weather. I took down the planner board mast.and put the big boards away. :mad Well it looks like walleye might be done for the year. Ended up with 217 walleye on the year. Not bad. My best year. Not as good as Anchor Wheel or Fishkiller but wait until next year.
Everyone remember you may need new fishing licenses.

Thanks Lineman for posting this. Hearing where the fish aren't biting is just as helpful as hearing when they do. I tried to get out this weekend but it wasn't in the cards.

Some were big, some were small, some were medium size, some we threw back (too small)

We moved four times today. Finally started catching fish continuously. But we were getting many silver bass and white perch. Double headers of those pesky son of a guns. But we ended up with 24 medium size <///>< ' s.

Is it just me or is anyone else's fingers getting tore up, cuts etc from the perch?
