| Anyone have any luck this past weekend (10-21-07 to 10-23-07)? We went on a few lakes in price and sawyer county and never even had a follow. We tried shallow, deep, in the weeds, on the rocks.... I could not believe it. Anyone else? If you had luck, what did you do differently? |

| I was out yesterday(10-23) on a price county lake..62 degree water temps...Started out fishing the cabbage with some big blades and only managed one follow from a dink...Switched it up a little and started working deeper water. Cribs and deep weed edges, fishing primarily in 10-14 fow with a regular bulldawg. Result was 3 mid 30's fish in about a half hour.. Then my buddy had a 48-50" to the boat on a sucker rig with a 14" sucker...30 seconds later with some head shaking and gill flaring there she goes....Net was tangled in a couple rods otherwise we would have had a nice picture of her.... |

Location: New Brighton, MN | I was out in polk co. fishing for just a few hours yesterday 9/24 (i'm pretty sure it's still September, or else i'm really confused) just before the storm rolled in I had a nice follow 45+ and got my hooks into a 35-40" at the boat that soon shook off. Both were in 6-10 feet of water on bucktails within 30 minutes of the storm coming through. Has been pretty quiet up until the storm hammered through. |

| I was in Waukesha co. and had a all right day. No fish boated but we saw a few. We didn't get out until 8am on Friday and didn't see a fish until 10:30. Mid 30's in 35' of water on a deep break line. Next fish was better low40's same depth. Raised a upper 40's-50 in 5 ft of water at 12:15 and then things really picked up. Three more fish raised in the next half hour all out of 5-8 ft of water in really heavy weeds. After that things shut down but a pretty fun day considering nothing made it in the boat. Better out fishing on a beautiful day than stuck at work. |

Location: Hayward, WI | I fished from about 4:30 PM to dark Friday and Saturday, and from about 4:30-6:00 Sunday on a Chippewa County lake. Nothing but a 20 inch ski on Friday just before Moonrise. Caught a 35.5 on Saturday with no other action. Sunday was pretty good. I pulled into a spot about 10 minutes after a boat of 4 throwing Double Cowgirls and fast moving prop baits. Within 6 casts or so a 44.5 incher nailed a Weagle and made it to the net. In the next half hour or so I had one snap at and miss the Weagle two times 3 feet from the boat, and a 36ish fish fly straight out of the water, but missing the Weagle way out on the cast. Not too long after it started to thunder and lightening pretty good so I got off the lake. Wish I could have made it out earlier that day (all of the days actually).
I have been fishing a stained lake, and have still been contacting fish on shallow weeds, both on shorelines and bars. I didn't have a lot of success early in the year with the Weagle (probably because I didn't use it as much), but it seems to be working better than anything else I have been throwing lately.
Both fish this weekend came from shoreline connected bars in about 5 feet of water, but last week I had action from shoreline related fish in 3-5 feet of water.
Here's the 44.5.

Location: LENA IL | Was on the Three Lakes chain last Thurs-Sat and after many follows we got a 41 to eat(great tail walks) Friday night @6:30 on a stomper. Then Sat. early am a 38 inch fish hit a Double Cowgirl. The 41 was in the slop and the 38 came off of a sand bar in 4ft of water. |
