Drove out to hiedecke today and it was closed due to severe weather.That really sucked so headed to the DP boat ramp to put in.Bad ramp to put in at no docks in yet and brutal wind did manage one decent sauger about 20 inches first one on that stertch of river. It was really dark in color ,is that normal for that area?Got it pullin up river in 12 fow 49 degree water temp and about 9 inches of clarity. :roll: Maybe I should have posted on a diffrent forum ...oh well it is all related..Maybe hiedecke on Sunday 2

The wind is incredible today...
I hope today's 40+ mph wind will raise the water temps at Heidecke.
Maybe Augman69 and I will try the big H or elsewhere next week.

The water at heidecke was 48 on Tuesday :-? It went down from the last time I was there. It should get good real soon.

Lukan, That's what I keep thinking too. Hopefully you won't have monster winds, that limited what I can do the last time there. Post your results from the weekend, I'm curious and have to find somewhere to go next week.

Nice work Jim and Scott. Sounds about time they put a walleye tournament out there eh? If a tournament for muskies can go, why not walleyes?

Maybe another chance to pay some folks some of my money :-D

Did you try the road? 1/2 oz bottom bouncer, green macks smiley and a fat nightcrawler (at least one with gulp crawler 8 ). Troll at .8 and start out perpendicular. Than about 10 yards before, do a slow 90 east. Let them bouncers and crawlers slap the sides.

General dive curve on core at 2.5mph, 1 color about 6 feet for a F7 Clown, the original, fellas, with the chrome belly and ring. Shad raps (or flicker shads) #5, at 150 feet line, 9 feet, #7 14 feet. 10/4 fireline add a foot.

Thats worth at least $20.... :-D
