Spring Walleye Fishing a P-Lo

Fished two more times with Russ(SGM) Guy is a fishing machine. Its awesome. On April 1st we fished back in Turkey Creek throw jerkbaits, huskies and cutters. We literally caught a limit of keepers. Pretty much throw up into shallow scrub.

Today we fish in skiers cove. We caught 60 walleye with 3 keepers. We also caught 2 wipers and a giant 13" crappie. Today we caught most of the fish on 1/8 oz jig head with a worm and blades.

Chatfield Opener 3/15

Had to get a decon. Took an hour! Caught one walleye. Saw a lot of walleye on the ledge by the fishing pier, but could not get them to bite! Water temp as 43 at 7am and 45 by 3pm. 1 degree warmer on south end. Water was murky. Did not see any fish on south end.

Cherry Creek 3/14

Hit the creek at 3pm today for a few hours. Saw a decent amount of suspended fish. Water temp was 45. Saw some small balls of shad. Caught a white crappy on my very first cast! Only fish all day.

P-Lo March 7th and 8th

House remodel and winter are starting to wind down. This weekend was one of the first nice ones of spring 2020. Only Pueblo and Boyd lake are open, so I hit Pueblo. Fishing was very slow, hardly marked any fish in the East end of the lake. I did manage one keeper walleye off 'the finger' and 2 SMB at the SMB spot. I saw a lot of fish at Turkey Creek but could not get any to bite. Water temp was about 38 on the east end, and up to 42 on the West. Cooked the walleye in the parking lot of the hotel :D

Sunday I fished with Russ (SGM). Fishing was still slow. I managed 3 walleye in skiers cove using blades. Fishing right on a sage brush line.

Boat performed well. Good to get it back on the water. Glad to see spring.

Ice Fishing Williams Fork

Went ice fishing for the first time. Pretty good time. Not nearly as cold as I thought it would be. Managed 10-15 fish.

First fish of 2020

Diane and I hit P-Lo on Saturday the 4th. Fishing was shit but we did manage 6 fish in total. SMB and walleye. Dead and dying shad all over the place.

Goodbye 2019

2019 has been one of my favorite fishing seasons ever. I caught my PB Laker about 3 times in a week, ending on a 42" at the Flaming Gorge. Caught a ton of Pike, and my first Pike on the fly. Caught countless Walleye. PB Smallmouth, PB catfish, PB Carp, PB Kokanee, PB suckers hah. Learned a lot of new stuff. Fished quite a few new lakes. Got a new boat, truck, and camper. I hope this is not the high point in my fishing hobby

Goodbye, 2019. You will be remembered fondly!

Pueblo 12-26

Thursday was the only day for at least a week that would be in 40s and not snowing. Hit the lake about 8:30am. Fishing was very slow. On top of that my Solix touch screen and side imaging just stopped working. I had to shut down the unit and then turn the master power switch off for a minute to get it working again. The day was also about 3 times as windy as predicted. It was a tough morning hah. In the afternoon I started catching fish, walleyes and SMB, on Puppet Minnows. Mostly on a white and orange glow puppet minnow. Manged a few fish on blades too. Caught the fattest rainbow I have ever seen in person on a blade. Ended up being a decent day. Water temp was about 41 on the east end. Water was up about 2-3 feet, lot of wood and sticks floating around.

Stocking Up

I really really like blades and glide baits!

Pueblo 12/21 and 12/22

We had nice weather this weekend at Pueblo. Friday morning was 30F at 8am, but quickly warmed up to about 49 and sunny by noon. Fishing was a little slow at first. I did mange a pair of big catfish. At the end of the day we both got into some bass. Water temp was around 41F. Saturday was a good deal warmer, 36F and mostly sunny at 8am. Fishing was great. Found bass and walleye on structure most of the day. Managed one big bass at the end of the day. Blades and jigging raps as usual. Side note: I tried mono for jigging raps. I hate it. Braid is the only way to go for myself.

Pueblo 12/12

Water temp was about 43. Not too windy. Air temp in the low 30s. Fished structure in 18-40 FOW. Didn't do real well. Managed a couple of decent walleye and foul hooked a big catfish. Hit 'SMB' hump and managed a bunch of smallmouth. I saw a few tight groups of marks on structure. I think the marks are too big to be shad, and too many of them to be walleye. I think maybe the are crappie. I was not able to get them to bite..
