more night cong action

[icebadger]

went back to my spot on the big pond again to see if the fish wanted to play and what a difference a week makes. i got there around 8:30pm and started with a jig to see what was hitting. there were baitfish schooling on the surface at the first spot so i threw my jig into the school and got hit, there were crappies under the schooling fish and i landed a 9" crappie and the school disappeared so i moved on.. got to spot #2 around 10:30 and started to work the topwater lures after a short time my lure gets crushed and i start to think that it's going to be one of those nites. that fish was a 13" hybrid but that was the last fish i would get until about 12:45am when a 21" walleye crushes my spittin image plug right by my canoe. the next fish i got was around 1:30am a 20" hybrid and that was all she wrote the fish stopped playing so i called it the night at 2:30am. the weather was nice last night but i did notice that the moon did not show up until around 11:30pm after that is when i got that walleye, also the lite wind died down as well and the lake got real quiet not to many herring around. still a nice nite on the cong...

Awesome report! These night trips on the cong seem so cool, I might have to give it a try!

You think things are finally winding down Badger? It’s all good! You landed some nice fish and didn’t get the SKUNK! Sounds like a relaxing night on the pond. YEA BUDDY!!!

Nice dude! Sounds like a great night

[icebadger]

yea eddie things might be changing a bit the herring are dancing late this year and i am not sure how much longer this strange phenomenon will continue the lake has been at full pool for most of the summer as well that and the moon might have something to do with it.

I heard the lake was under no-wake, any truth?

Saturday and Sunday it was, level has to drop to 9.5. Was gonna try today but I figured I’d better give it until tomorrow or Wednesday.
