Post by: hunt_fish on April 03, 2014, 05:05:47 PM: Went out last weekend and it's pretty dang good for walleye, no big fish though. Biggest ones we caught were 17". My dad lost the biggest one we saw. Ended up with 20 keepers for the weekend, lost about just as many and we didn't even get to fish it hard on two of the days because of the wind one day and we were getting low on gas another day. Water temps were around 48 degrees back in Lind Coulee where we were fishing.

2 years ago I had rollers breaking the bow, rolling down the deck and landing on my lap! :yike: Flattened my Lowrance in the process! That place is so awesome and such an adventurous place to fish :tup:

I would be jealous if I wasn't 2 1/2 weeks behind you :IBCOOL:

Post by: Mossy on April 10, 2014, 11:22:11 PM: I'm heading to Potholes for the first time Saturday. Is Lind Coulee the place to be? I'm flying blind here fellas.......
Title: Re: Heading to Potholes Friday
Post by: hunt_fish on April 11, 2014, 05:14:20 AM: Lind coulee would be the easiest place to fish, just follow what the other boats are doing. They're catching walleye out by the mouth of Lind coulee too in deeper water or off perch point. One of the old timers at the store told me they were catching jumbo perch too off perch point aka Medicare beach in 40 fow. I saw alot of boats one day stacked around the northwest side of goose island, not sure if one just followed a boat there and they all went there thinking that was the place to be or not. They might've been bass fishing though because there's a drop off there. Never have tried walleye on that side of the island this early in the year. The humps up at the mouth of crab creek should produce too. Didnt try up there during our trip though.
