Fished Saturday, North was rough marked fish but no takers (NE wind), moved from area to area fishing different spots and made it south, caught several walleye and some nice 10-11.5" perch. Tightlines

i was thinking about going up this weekend with the weather forecast being so nice. i already put the boat away for the season. what do you think would be more productive...........shore fishing the main lake or the outflow/river? my target fish can change with whatever is hitting best. thanks in advance

I fished the south end last Saturday from shore using small floating jig heads and weight less minnies. I caught 8 perch & 6 crappies. It didn't matter to me what I caught.

fished off the jamestown marina docks with my dad & sister this morning. was very slow. we caught a few gills and a perch. i used my showdown off the dock but it didn't work very well - maybe transducer was too close to the dock but the signal wasn't great. anyway, no fish fry tonight. anyone ever try using their sonar off a dock or pier?

if you are using sonar in shallow water, try turning down the sensitivity...

I use my vex off the boat all of the time. I have tried it off the pier but didn't mark a thing. I think a floating dock would be the best bet.

i saw at gander mountain a castable wireless fisfinder, you cast it like a lure, reel it back in slow, and the info is transmitted to an lcd watch screen... you can scan for fish as far as you can cast! pretty cheap too!

I thought of buying one of these too. It seems ideal for fishing from shore, but I like to hear everyone's opinion before I buy one.

works good in tandem with a bobber... cast near the transducer, set it to the right depth... maybe a slip bobber... work it just like ice fishing...

I throw both anchors and hang transducer about 6" below the boat. It works just like u would use it on the ice. I want to get the alumaducer in the spring. I have only used it on pi bay for perch

I will try it next time I go out. As it don't look like the bay will freeze any time soon.

North end was iced up but south was open. It warmed up last night and has been raining, so I'm going to say you'll be good to go. Almost all the snow has melted even. Just check the wind for up here cause we have been having some really windy days, like 20+ mph days.
The worst day hunting or fishing will always be better then the best day at school or work!

Couldn't tell ya for sure. I haven't had a fishing rod in my hand since October. It's hunting season and my Sunday's are filled by rest. Like I said just keep an eye on the wind it's been a heavy chop the last few days.

The north end will be froze by tomorrow. It's been frozen 3 times already so the water is cold, especially with the temps they're calling for. If the lows stay in the 20's and the highs in the low to mid 30's it'll be good to go soon. We will be fishing soon! The 10 day forecast has 5 daytime temps above freezing and only one low above freezing. 17 tonight 17 tomorrow and 14 tomorrow night it's gonna freeze
