Title: Rufus Woods??
Post by: kevinp16 on May 22, 2012, 09:59:54 AM: Heading out there this weekend and wanted to see if anyone has had any luck this spring yet? Thinking about heading up to the fish pins Saturday morning and troll back. Any info would be appreciated.

I'll keep you posted after the weekend on what we caught.

All the big fish I checked except maybe one, wasn't even in the derby on that Sat. I know people that came over and just heard about the derby and wanted to get in but was turned away, because of the dead line.

I always fish for walleye but it's hard to not catch triploids. They are fun to catch for a while, but I consider them a nuisance! Good luck and let us know how you do.

Spoke to a few other trolling boats that had no luck either. Wonder what's going on?? Never seen it this slow in years.
