Water Conditions: Little Rough

Hope every one had a great holiday weekend, the fishing was very good from multiple anglers. Going into the week the lake is looking a little rough but like I always state this can change. More anglers are fishing deep out of walnut or off the point. 50-65FOW sounds likes the ticket for both. Anglers are turning to drift fishing and jigging because its been so good you can limit doing both presentations. Continue to watch the weather through out the week to choose the best day to get out. Good luck to every one. TIGHT LINES!

As of this morning the National Weather Service is saying the next few days should be favorable for fishing with waves under 2ft and less. This can always change so check the night before you plan to go out or the day of. Walleye fishing continues to be amazing! With a lot of fish coming form 55-60FOW off the point. If you are fishing out of Walnut most fish are being caught 55FOW or deeper. Divers continue to do most of the work since this is an easy way to get down deep if you don't wanna run snap weights or leadcore line. Good luck to every one going out this week and be safe. TIGHT LINES!

National Weather Service is calling for 2ft or less for most of the weekend, with winds 10 knots or less. Now remember this can always change so a perfect way to see if its safe is any of the beach cameras for near shore or some sort of weather app for wind speed and direction. Walleye fishing hasn't change much since last week. Some anglers are still in tight finding them in 20-30FOW with other out deep in 55-60FOW. Divers and riggers are the easiest way to target those deep fish. If you are in shallow you can run deep plugs on mono clean. Good luck to every one going out this weekend and be safe. TIGHT LINES!
