[WayneChristie]

I have a feeling with the new chinook its going to be a very slow derby. Hopefully Im wrong

[outdoorjunkie]

4 small ones, 2 over, 2 under at Badger today. Full moon for the derby. It's my fault, I told the Mobys to stay away till next weekend.

Last weekend was pretty slow down south too.

Have only been to CV once this year so far and onlu caught a couple of pike. We usually fish there a lot but have spent the last several trips at Clear. We have never caught a perch at CV but have seen many on the fish cam so know they are there. Remember if you want to go for broke at Cv bring your walleye rigs, pike rigs, burb rigs and perch rig as well. We have caught many of the first three there.

Was out down south and had a pretty good day. Got a 44" fish that took some real careful alignment to get through the hole. Definitely north of 25 pounds...was totally obese. Just an absolutely awesome fish. Put her back to see if she can hit that magical 30 mark in another few years.

Followed that up with a 35", a 28", and a couple of other smaller fish. The 28" had 8 partially digested baits and a big single hook in its guts. Missed a few other flags too, so overall a damn fine day to be out. Definitely not as much action as this weekend last year but if you're catching those 10+ year old fish you can't complain.

I fished the same water last weekend and had a tough go of it, so I think it's starting to turn a bit. We'll see what the next couple of weekends bring.

at least someone had a great day :D I ended up going for perch, lots of them but no 25 pounders for sure :lol: hopefully the pike turn on soon everywhere.

well i went down to clear yesterday, had no action till i was getting ready to leave. about 2:00 i was pulling out my tip ups, and wham, my other one got hit. ran over, smal little pike. then the other one got hit (i didnt get it out as i ran to the other one) but sadly right as it was pickin up i had to leave :(

we watch them on the camera- the pike will stare at bait forever, and not attack until it is taken away from them, fwihw.

tried a new lake today, had 2 flags and girlfriend missed on on her rod so they were at least breathing. also had a muskrat come up in the tent, dont know who was more surprised the rat or the girlfriend. at least it was entertaining :D

[turnpike]

had a decent few hours today in central ab. Caught four in the double digits(lbs) biggest was 37",few smaller ones, few burbs.

[WayneChristie]

hopefully the bite is starting to pick up. I will be happy with only one next weekend at the Badger derby. as long as its 35 pounds :lol:

Found 1 hammer handle where I was today Wayne,,, pretty slow..

[Grizzly]

I was out by brooks. Didnt find fishing slow until noon-2
The morning is definatly the best...
Caught a 23lber yesterday, and a 17lber caught by my dad..
my brother lost one over that we guess to be 25lbs as we saw it half way out the hole and didnt get the scale on em... and today i got the scale on 3 of mine that were 12lbs...

here is my big boy, ill post the other pictures when i download them!

Nice fish Grizz, glad someone is finding them. I didnt get on the ice til later this afternoon, probably missed a few. Always next weekend :D

Went to McGregor today NE corner of the dam. Three small fish between ten people. That's twenty holes from 6 ft to 29 ft. Dismally slow:cry: The guy up from us came by and didn't see a fish all day. I would have moved but the group was just too big.
