Location: Jackson, Wisconsin 53037 | I agree with you cheesehead, but you seem to have forgotten to post your real name. Over the last couple weeks I have seen the amount of anonymous posters rise. Sometimes I have to double check to see if I'm on Walleyefirst or another site, that fourishes on the anonymous posting |

| Pat, good luck this weekend. I'll probably try to get out as well, on Saturday. Gotta get a couple for sale signs for the Lund! If I don't see you before you leave for Dtroit, make sure you show the Posse what's up out there!
Tyee, that boy of yours is kickin' yer arse! Again! Keep it up Chase.
As for the anonomous posts, I tend to agree to a certain extent. I'm a little more turned off by the unabashed, self promotion by Lloyd, trying to get everyone to his website to review his reports, than I am by the anon, pointing out that he is not providing any help here. I think Jerry was trying to make that point in a separate post, but I guess it didn't sink in. And to compare this site to the other, well, if that was the case, eveyone of those self promotional posts would have been nuked within minutes. There would have been no opportunity for anons to post what they did. I have absolutely no problem with Lloyd posting, but maybe he could post current reports, and pics to match? Adding pics of fish not recently caught is a bit too much, in my opinion.
I don't sign my whole name. Everybody knows me as just Shep!

| Just gotn back from De Pere. We got plenty of fish, nothing big yet . We managed a couple of 23". We are still just casting a jig and twister no live bait. If you want to no the spots just look for boats there's only about a 100 or so. Really tho we caught them from 4' out to 12' of water. Watching other boats it looked like most of them were caatching fish to. Will be fishing next three days and nights Hopefully we get some big ones. will report back on Thursday. see ya on the water. |

Location: Menasha, WI | Was anchored on the river by 5am this morning, we were among the first 5 or 6 boats on the water. We started just north of the dam in 8.5 fow and did well with a 1/2oz glow jig and a minnow until the sun came up and 30+ boats joined us. Mostly smaller fish 13"-15". After the crowd moved in we moved north to the 172 bridge and slipped the current for some nicer fish, but still not huge. Our biggest of the day was 22". Caught fish in depths from 8'-16' by the bridge but the deeper water was a bit more productive. 3/8oz chartreuse jig and minnow as vertical as possible worked best but we did get a few on lindy rigs. We tried a variety of plastics but they didn't work. We also caught 1 pike around 33". By the time we left at 10:30am I'd guess there were nearly 200 boats between the dam and the bridge.

Location: Orland Park, IL | Well, was lucky enough to do the shore thingy from Voyagers last Friday night. Left the boat in Pipe, WI and headed to the casino for the dinner buffet and some gaming. Afterwards, full of all you can eat steak, and a few bucks in my pocket, headed over to voyagers. Got there about 1030pm. It was thinnin out, with most folks leavin and saying it was slow. Casted for about an hour with a pink/white tweester jeeg and firetiger crank. Gotta couple of bumps, but no feesh. Launch was packed. Piers are in.
Cop at the gas station said DNR shocked an 18lb walleye a few weeks back. Sounds like a nasty rumer to me. |

| My dad and I were out today. We had 32 eyes, a catfish, smallie, and a sucker. The stinger hook was a must. Orange and chartreuse jig combo was the trick. The biggest was 3.5 pounds. Lost a dandie! Fished 20 feet of water buy dam. Also picked up 5 fancasting jigs by the 172 bridge. Between the Crows Nest and Voyageur picked up two in 5-7 foot of water. Will be up Saturday and Sunday. |

| Fished on the 29th for the first trip out. Verticle jigged the deeper hole just downstream from th dam. Marked plenty of fish on the vex and found yellow to be a good color until the bite died around 930ish. Had about 15 eyes. Most were 15-18 with a couple in the low 20's. One big smallie, a 20 pound carp and a 10 pound flat. Tried pulling flies as well with only one to show for it.
Also tried several other areas b/w the deep hole and the 172 with very little success. |

| Fished 3/24-3/28 an awesome 5 days well over 200 fish. The biggest taped 29 1/2" a solid 10. The rest of the fish were your average Depere fish 15" to 25" We found the fish any where from 2' down to18' The big fish was caught in 2' of water and not by the dam and was caught on a jig/minnow combo at 8:15 p.m.. We fished up by the pillars by the dam one night for 5 hrs. and could not buy a bite. Most of the fish we caught were on the edge of the big hole by the dam and by the wastewater plant and then down river at the 172 Bridge. 99% of the fish we caught was without livebait. A1/4 oz jig with a white twister tail was all that was needed. The trick was to cast out and retrieve with a pumping motion and watching your line. If i would learn how to post pics I would but my computer doesn,t like me  . IF your in need of pics for proof I'll try and get abuddy to help me. Good Luck and tight lines |
