On our way back now, my Dad, Nixon and I were just up on the far north end since last Friday. Found a nice camp spot that was in shade by 4:30 (good for up North) on the east side across from Scorup.
Fish all over the place, from White down to the bathroom, found some interesting stuff all over, all good stuff. Fishing wasn’t amazing, but we found some smaller Crappie which we thought was a good sign. And all the smallies we did catch were in amazing shape, even managed a nice Largy that hadn’t been relocated to witness protection program by the bullfrog ramp after a tourney, only thing we didn’t find were some Walleye but didn’t target them.
Boils were pretty non existent (should’ve stuck with our normal schedule like the last couple years, sounded like last week was awesome), a few scattered ones in front of four mile one day and a couple other sporadic ones in front of blue Notch. Water turned real stained right out in front of four mile as BTW. But you’ll all be proud of us as we finally caught our first Stripers spooning!!! We ate lunch in the back of the canyon below Popcorn and saw some splashes so we caught about 15 all underwater throwing spoons and cranks. So we thought we might be able to duplicate the technique so we went to popcorn and found huge balls of Shad towards the back in 40-60 feet of water and spooned them up! Another great trip! Shad are everywhere, I’m sure as I’m typing his Good Hope is boiling.
