alright guys were just days away from this one. gonna be a good turnout and the fishing has picked up this week. If anybody needs info or rigs, setups go back to the first page and read the first few posts. PM me if u need further info. I will be prefishing on Saturday and will have lake maps photocopied with all the spots I mark schools in, they will still be in same areas Sunday so we will all catch em up. With this colder weather the walleye will start chomping and there are muskie around too lately, so be sure to bring a jigging setup for a binsky, snap rap, rippin raps, whatever u like to jig.

I spoke to Laurie at Dows and she is still having a tough time w bait, Shes only got one tank full at the moment. With the rain and wind this week nobody will be out fishing so she should have time to restock a bunch so there will def be bait.

I recommend anybody running for bait go easy on Sunday, you dont need 4 dozen herring for a day of fishing. I usually start w a dozen if fishing solo and run back later if I need em, I usually throw half my bait back in anyway. The more herring in your bait bucket the bigger it needs to be in water capacity and u NEED a bubbler/aerator to keep em alive.

Im gonna be there early and get in the water and rigged, I suggest if you can you get there by 630ish, gives us half hour or so to BS and get everyone launched, by 7 Im gonna have lines wet and drags rippin!! If you cant get there till later come out later, fishing is good all day this time of year. Ill post up the conditions on Saturday afternoon..........

Jimmy - it looks like we're gonna have a good wind Sunday, 10-15mph with gusts in the mid 20's. What's the general strategy to stay on the schools with regard to your bait fishing tactics in these conditions, anchor up (if possible), fast drift, slow drift, troll, etc?

Accuweather has it at 22 mph wnw with gusts to 31 at 1pm.

I keep forgetting to share this - I especially like to use the 2nd chart titled Computer Forecast Tables. Not like any of the weather forecasts are always reliable, but I like the detail this site has.

If we have to have wind, at least its from the right direction for the places on the lake I like to fish.

Use your trolling motor or anchor up I guess. I dont own anchors I use terrova ipilots I just hit spotlock on the remote and fish. If the wind is blowing bad I will prob just switch to trolling or jigging. The fish move alot especially when its windy, the bait balls get blown around w the current the wind makes. I often hear guys that are anchored up actually like the swinging effect the boat makes when downlining and jigging, we'll see how it goes. Was windy last year too, my biggest wiper of 2013 was in 30+ winds, it was so windy I couldnt get the boat out of the slip for 1.5 hrs!

Sounds like the perfect Walleye chop to me!!!!! The show must go on. Anchor guys, bring an extra anchor and anchor line just in case you snap the line. I've caught 10-12 anchor lines in the past 9 years fishing LH, LOL!!! HYBRID FEVER!!! YEA BUDDY!!!
