there has been multiple complaints called in to the dnr requesting that the launch be opened. i talked to the dnr biologist when he was there taking samples and he told me that the amount of silt that blew in over the winter made the bay extremly shallow. i then watched him walk 15' into the water and hardly cover his boot with water/muck. he told me that he didnt know if their budget would be able to afford the amount of work that needs to be done. here is the number for the DNR south river road station. Call and leave a message telling them that you want it opened like the rest of us. hopefully if they get enough phone calls we can make something happen. tell your friends to call as well.

I was under the impression that dredging is underway. Read the link below.

2 weeks ago I heard they were dredging and that they would be done in 2 weeks. Now I hear it might be another 2 weeks.:dizzy::lol:

[Wall-llard Willie]

There was a post in, I think, the free press saying that it'd be closed for at least a month if I remember correctly. (which is unlikly :) )

thanks for the info...


i saw a good dozen boats out there fishing, anyone else off the board? anyone got any reports/tips???

[Canuck136]

Tried yesterday...400 Club, Beacon Cove and Metro. No walleye a few smallies. I heard of a guy that picked up a few in real tight 4 fow in front of the beach. I think it's still a week or two away, but still nice to be out there.

[marshman]

i havent been out there yet but a buddy of mine hates river fishing and is just chomping at the bit for the lake to turn on. hes been out twice i think and hasnt got a walter yet. few smallies and a pike but nothin livewell worthy. meanwhile ive got half my freezer full, i told him to invest in some jigs, and leave his blade box at home...

[limige]

WOW, two days ago i saw a dump truck and the docks were still on land..

[ted stehney]

Fished this area Friday afternoon. We caught many small perch, and even smaller large mouth bass. Tried from 6 feet to eleven feet deep. Water temp was about 63 with no weed growth yet. Should start up any day in there.

[Gofish0619]

fished in front of metro 4ft to 8ft of water,1 fish. :sad: stayed in that area fishing in close till 11:00 . couple of small perch in front of ginos and that was it. didn't see any nets in the water, still early i think [ GO FISH ]

My buddy got 6 fish 30 minuets pulling harnesses off of Geno's. I spent an hr. drifting the Grs. point area looking for perch. I got a few here and there All males. 9 to 10 inch. 15 fow. couldn't locate a school to stay on top of. Getting close:D

Ed...you drifting harnesses, slip bobbers or perch rigs? Minnows, worms? Looking to head out next week.:D Sorry I ask too much.:dizzy:

[Ed Michrina]

No not asking to much . I was drifting perch rigs and a crawler on a hook with a sinker. When I hit a few perch, I threw anchor. bummer is, this only accounted for 2 or 3 perch and I would have to move. The perch were in 14to 15 fow. So it should be close to time. Most were males- so take it for what its worth. While drifting every time I hit old weeds I would hit perch.( I )hink they are starting on young snails? I'm surprised they were this deep this early.

As far a the walleye I only spoke to my buddy briefly . He normally starts real close in and works his way out. I'm talking 6 foot out. I wish I could give you more on that but I'm still attempting to make my way out that way.
