I said I'd post a couple pics and maybe a vid of the spawning operation today. Well, here they are-

It was definitely one of the better field trips I've taken. Got to hold some walleye that would absolutely dwarf anything I've caught. I'm thinking about hitting my local smallmouth spot at sunrise tomorrow. Wanna get a pig smallie on a swimbait. Well see...

I told everyone taking pics with the fish today to stiffarm the fish haha. I think I was the only one that didn't

Right!!!! We caught two wiper that were absolutely gigantic, as well. And I can't catch anything at Creek! Place sucks for me

I think I tend to suck at walleye fishing in general, though. I'm not terrible but I never get into the big ones like dudes like AO and FishDr do and I've put in a decent amount of time.

If you have put in the time, in the proper location.... the most likely issue left would be presentation. I can tell you for certain that I have caught more walleye (100:1) using a SLOW presentation... especially this time of year. Hope that helps.

Anyone can catch a walleye on anything, just bounce it off their head. Pretty easy if you know where their head is

Ive caught plenty of eyes, just no big ones.

If that was the case I think more big fish would be caught. There are a lot of fisheries here with big walleye like that but seeing those fish is is not as common as you're making it sound.

it's my belief that nobody ever catches fish at Creek, it's snipe hunting to get people out of the way for your favorite honey hole. "where's the best fishing?" "Dude you should totally go to cherry creek, it's off the hook!....hehehe."

Cherry creek is best left to the dude bro's drunk driving their big boats.

good thing I'm not bitter.

From what I gather it's a tough nut to crack. But there is a few guys who kill that place. God knows they put in work...

Fish the creek in April-June. If you have a boat, you can have a lot of great days catching walleye/crappie. I try and get out a few times after work and have good luck.

Great job Whomp, I am helping out @ Chatty on Friday.

Big fish get big by not being eaten or caught. I cant say the same for us humans. I normally dont fish till after the spawn. But they start shallow and run the shallows till the the bait move out from the shallows. I like fishing the deep when they school up and chase bait

Nice. Ish was effing freezing when I went last year. I took home tons of shad and sucker too, still not sure why I never fish for catfish... Definitely a kick in the nuts seeing the giants in those nets and getting skunked so often there

 

[Thenewguy76]

What did you do with the shad?
