Shorefishing at 72nd street
Hey Manny,
I too am new to this forum. You're the second fisherman that has mentioned the walleye fishing at 72nd. The first was a salesman from a boat dealer at the boat show. I'd really appreciate more specific info on this- such as approx depth, time of year, technique (dipsy, jig) lures. I grew up in this area and until now never heard of fishing for Wally in this area.
Also, I'm going out Sunday 4-20-08 in the western basin and plan on posting the results on Monday. Hope the weather holds and Wally is hungry!
Fished Turtle Creek 4-20-08
Hi Manny,
Had a Great day Sunday. The lake was calm and overcast. It did drizzle a bite but cleared up. Went out jiggin at 6:30 am and had 7 in the boat by 8:30am. Decided to troll about 10 miles out - Reached our limit & released a few. Caught one 6 pounder and a 29.5 inch 10 pounder - which just blew me away. We were Back in by 2:30. Ton of boats out. All seemed to be catchin their share. Alot of happy fisherman. So I'd say the fishin is on. Because I'm just getting back into fishing(recently retired) and don't know the waters, I chartered a Capt. I met at the "Fin" in ashland. He's a great guy who really knows his stuff. If anyone wants his contact info send me an email and I'll be glad to get it to you.
Thanks for the info on 72nd street. My boats not ready yet, and I have little night fishing experience, but this is definitely on my "bucket " list of things to do.
