| The DNR placed their assesment nets last Sunday, and they had 50 muskies on Monday. Not sure, but that must be close to a record catch.
The Lake Superior Chapter has a tournament on the St Louis River July 20th and there are still openings. I think it will be a good year to fish the tournament. |

| Sorry but I am not sure. I believe it is just an assesment and they are not collecting spawn/milt, and no one from our club helped with the assesment so I didn't hear about the sizes. |

Location: WI | It's just a population assessment. I haven't heard of any sizes. Hopefully the weeds will grow in this year. |

| Anyone fish the walleye opener this year? Used to have a blast fishing bumper boats. Should have been good timing for fat female catch photo and release this year. Never ate a st louie eye but caught some hawgs in past years... 32.5 was the PB at 8.5 lbs LONG and spawned out and released.... |

| Night shore fishing for walleyes in the 70's was productive,,we would stay late and to find our way back to the car we would hold up the stringer of walleyes and they would glow so we could see the path |

Fished a big tournament down there this weekend. Very few fish down river. Up river it was a lot a small males and they were in full spawn mode. My boat looks like it had a porno shoot in it.
Not many big girls caught this weekend. Usually We see a lot more big fish. Odd year for sure. |

Location: Duluth, MN | Yea i stopped by Boy Scout landing last night. There isn't even anyone walleye fishing. High fast running dirty water. Better off waiting till fishing in the harbor picks up. |
