Sisco Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Nice Shepp! Cohos and Browns are hitting on the big lake up north. Weather has been nice as well. Some Chinooks, but not by me so far. With that one Lake Trout emergency rule. This year, summer fishing is gonna be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Edit: how many does the Eagle get ? Yup I got two that I'm going to smoke and three I'm going to grill With 16 fish in the pic, two guys fishing, they get 8 each. With him talking about 2+3 that he has plans for, that's 5 per man, and 10 total. The eagle is taking 3 per man, or someone gets FUCKED UP. Got babies to feed! That's the way I read it, anyway... <lmao> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Lol there where 3 of us myself my buddy and his boy. Limit is 5 ea the one that's bowed bottom left was found dead in the water but recently killed with a hole in it (thinking maybe a Huron got it but couldn't hold on). The steams we fish aren't very big I don't think the Eagles can fish them very well, but they also eat road kill and other stuff, plus the Wisconsin river isn't all that far away. We have been in Northern Wisconsin tho and banged a blue gill on the side of the boat and tossed it out for the Eagles they'll grab it once it's 30-40' away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The walleyes been bighting well too, hopefully get back out next weekend for thatWalleyes biting down near Ashland in the Bay. Reason for one Lake Trout rule is a culmative 4 million feet of tribal gill nets in WI-2 each of the last five years.took out the spawning size fish. WDNR and tribes missed badly on setting quotas three times as high as they should have been. Now we are paying the price.

Imagine that like the tribe spearing walleye with steal forged spears, 30,000$ boats, gas generators and led lights like their ansestors did 100's of years ago......but it's the white man rapping Mother Earth That really sucks Sisco!!! This weekend it's crappies in the people's republic of Madison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
