Lot's of good memories: as a kid we made a few annual trips there just for the perch/crappie/bluegill.

Post by: BigGoonTuna on September 21, 2014, 03:34:49 PM: haven't seen a stringer like that since i was a little kid fishing off the mar don dock. haven't fished that area for spiny rays in at least 5 or 6 years, but it's been ages since i've ever caught something keeper size. lots of little 5" punks though.

Spiny ray fishing at Potholes has gotten a lot better the last couple years. During March-May you can catch limits or close to limits of walleye, the crappie seem to be back but you have to sift through keepers (caught some 14-15 inches this year though), and perch are everywhere. Hopefully the ice is good again this year for Lind Coulee, I'll have to try that out.

Post by: Quackwhacker on September 24, 2014, 05:16:15 PM: My 2 year old and I went out for a couple hours today and caught a good mess of perch and some walleye. It was windy and rainy but the bite was great. My son had a blast!
