Title: Yelp's last weekend results
Post by: yelp on May 31, 2009, 06:05:58 PM: Well I think it was a fantastic season. I am very satisfied at the hunts I was on and the encounters I had this spring. I went out this last weekend with the wife and son..we saw a few turkeys but it was very hot outand seem to have affected the birds activities and ours.. We did run into hen tracks with a batch of poult tracks! We most of all had fun! It was hot out so we ended up fishing..Oh well seemed like a cooler idea anyway! Also a yummy idea..fresh walleye!

Post by: yelp on June 02, 2009, 07:27:25 AM: Rosshenry..bank fishing for walleyes is common this time of year on Roosevelt when lake is lowered due to snow runoff..lots of beach access.."floating meat" as I call it did the trick. Roosevelt has got a liberal limit on Walleye. 8 can be under 22 no min's only 1 over 22/per person. I had walleye nuggets last night..MMMMM :drool: :drool: Gotta go get me some more.. :chuckle:

Post by: yelp on June 02, 2009, 08:40:17 PM: rosscrazyelk and walthenry...you are going to hate me when I tell you "the big secret" to fishing off of the shore on Lake Roosevelt..is a worm and a hook..lol. I tied up a 2 hook harness like you would use on a worm harness. I used an egg sinker bead swivel leader with two hook harness. Thread on nightcrawler. Use the the worm blower and put a little air in the crawler to float it. Then cast out and reel them in... :chuckle: I would lie to say it took a lot of skill but not really. Pretty easy fishing. Oh and don't forget some refreshments and lots of nightcrawlers.
