Jim - HAPPY BIRTHDAY1

OK, I went out today from SBH and ran down to 18 mi creek near Meyers Reef. I trolled from 30 to 48 fow and caught 2 eyes, 23" and 20", no trophies but good eaters. I threw back a 17" which I caught on the way back toward the Intl Mkr Buoy.

But (ta da !, here's the big news), yesterday the guy at the bait shop at the SBH said someone came in with a 34" walleye that he caught off Meyers Reef in 30 fow. He did not have a scale so we do not know what it weighed. I am guessing 13-14#. Today I was talking to the guys from the Southtown Walleye Assn and he said they hit a school (with double headers) off the 1st windmill at 36 fow.

The lake was very nice today with no waves. Go get em !

I would like to thank everyone for the wealth of information on this board! I'm getting back into fishing after a 20 year hiatus, now that my son is old enough to fish. I've gone out a couple of times around the windmills, using a worm harness and starting my drift around 30 fow. Only caught sheepshead so far, but wondering if I need to fish deeper?

Walleyrick mentioned the first windmill, if that the northernmost or southernmost?

It sounds like most of the members troll for walleye, can drifting be effective or should I look into getting a trolling motor?

Hopefully I'm not posting this in the wrong thread.

Thanks,
Joe

committed and spent the morning working outer Meyers - should have stayed in bed - one dink and one perch

did find a 7 degree down-temp break for first time this year, and lots of bait

moral of the story "head west young man, head west...."

Hey at least you guys are out there, my outdrive is sitting in my garage right now about to be broken down to replace water pump etc. It's been a weird year for walleye fishing not many people are catching them it seems from the people I see.
