Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

alright guys were just days away from this one. gonna be a good turnout and the fishing has picked up this week. If anybody needs info or rigs, setups go back to the first page and read the first few posts. PM me if u need further info. I will be prefishing on Saturday and will have lake maps photocopied with all the spots I mark schools in, they will still be in same areas Sunday so we will all catch em up. With this colder weather the walleye will start chomping and there are muskie around too lately, so be sure to bring a jigging setup for a binsky, snap rap, rippin raps, whatever u like to jig.

I spoke to Laurie at Dows and she is still having a tough time w bait, Shes only got one tank full at the moment. With the rain and wind this week nobody will be out fishing so she should have time to restock a bunch so there will def be bait.

I recommend anybody running for bait go easy on Sunday, you dont need 4 dozen herring for a day of fishing. I usually start w a dozen if fishing solo and run back later if I need em, I usually throw half my bait back in anyway. The more herring in your bait bucket the bigger it needs to be in water capacity and u NEED a bubbler/aerator to keep em alive.

Im gonna be there early and get in the water and rigged, I suggest if you can you get there by 630ish, gives us half hour or so to BS and get everyone launched, by 7 Im gonna have lines wet and drags rippin!! If you cant get there till later come out later, fishing is good all day this time of year. Ill post up the conditions on Saturday afternoon..........

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

You're talking about those hybrid bluegills,right?

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Jimmy - it looks like we're gonna have a good wind Sunday, 10-15mph with gusts in the mid 20's. What's the general strategy to stay on the schools with regard to your bait fishing tactics in these conditions, anchor up (if possible), fast drift, slow drift, troll, etc?

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Accuweather has it at 22 mph wnw with gusts to 31 at 1pm. :eek:

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

I keep forgetting to share this - I especially like to use the 2nd chart titled Computer Forecast Tables. Not like any of the weather forecasts are always reliable, but I like the detail this site has.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

If we have to have wind, at least its from the right direction for the places on the lake I like to fish.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Use your trolling motor or anchor up I guess. I dont own anchors I use terrova ipilots I just hit spotlock on the remote and fish. If the wind is blowing bad I will prob just switch to trolling or jigging. The fish move alot especially when its windy, the bait balls get blown around w the current the wind makes. I often hear guys that are anchored up actually like the swinging effect the boat makes when downlining and jigging, we'll see how it goes. Was windy last year too, my biggest wiper of 2013 was in 30+ winds, it was so windy I couldnt get the boat out of the slip for 1.5 hrs!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Sounds like the perfect Walleye chop to me!!!!! The show must go on. Anchor guys, bring an extra anchor and anchor line just in case you snap the line. I've caught 10-12 anchor lines in the past 9 years fishing LH, LOL!!! HYBRID FEVER!!! YEA BUDDY!!!:D

I remember that fish! BEAST! Wilson will catch the biggest Hybrid this weekend, on his 4lb test! NO DOUBT!!!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Doubtful, but thanks for the whammy:p

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Don't be a doubter, my boat is lucky for everyone but me.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

That will change on Sunday.
As long as somebody catches something it will be a good day!

Have a spot or 2 for Sundays M&G
 

My partners opted to pursue the salt water variety this weekend. I have 1 or 2 spots on my 17' Tracker Deep V. Or if someone needs a mate I'm all in. PM me or text 973-476-8738.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

To you guys that fish herring regularly - when fishing this time of year, do you keep them in a circulating live well in the boat or prefer a cooler with an aerator?

I pretty much only use bait when ice fishing so I don't usually have them on the boat.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Usually just a cooler or pail with an aerator. They hold pretty good in the cold weather, seldom have a problem in the warm weather either with a little ice. Than again I don't have a circulating live well. I think they may be fine either way.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Pre fished the big lake today with a bunch of NJFers and managed to get myself the big SKUNK. Marked some fish in some popular fall areas but nothing willing to chew. There were a couple fish caught by my fellow brothers but nothing to brag about. Hopefully tomorrow's a better day. If you have tricks up your sleeve you better bring em out. It's been a lil slow lately! Let's give em hell! See you MANIACS in the AM! I may be anchored up on the humps before sunrise gettin jiggy!!!:D

P.S. Yes it will be blowing pretty nasty tomorrow so come prepared!!!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Ya I was there also, not a sniff. Gonna give it hell in the A:M, dress warm.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Thanks, I'll be on a different boat tomorrow. Hopefully slimed up. See ya then.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Amped to do this tomorrow... in honor of my good buddy who's driving a big rig out west right now... I dedicate tomorrow's lunch the Mitch-Wich...

Craig and I will see you maniacs in the morning...

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Slam-wich!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Ill be there by 630am and I plan to be fishing at 7am. There was LOTS of bait and marks today all over, but fish just werent chompin today. Only managed 2 small schoolies from 730 til around noon on trolled herring. Wind wasnt bad 2day Ive fished way worst, I think 2moro will be decent too, not supposed to blow til lunchtime bad, a day makes a world of difference on LH.

I have maps made for anybody that needs them. I wont be in my boats 2moro, the big Crestliner was sold last week and my lowe is staying home 2moro, Im fishing with Anthony 2moro in his new Lund, its a dark grey brand new windshield boat, say HI to us and grab a map. Most of the stripers were close to Lees, and in the same areas. i did see LOTS of bottom hugging solid marks, def some walleye mixed in under the schools of bait. Dress warm it was chilly early didnt warm up til 9ish, see everyone in the AM

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

It's 520 am here at Lees, just pulled up to launch. It's blowing really bad boyz and girls, be prepared. Small craft advisory in effect, not kidding!!!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

There was some fish caught boyz and girlz, wrong species but fish were caught. Anthony had the hot hand today banging 4 Walleye on the Binsky. Myself and the Greek also got in on the action with a Walleye or two a piece. Crappie and other assorted panfish were also caught jigging. Wind was fierce but once you got to the west side you were good to go. Ahhhhhhhh, I say better safe than sorry. Thanx to Anthony for letting me jump on the Lund. Rough day on the water but the show must go on! Dale and Jeremy are still out there somewhere so stay tuned for the full report and some FISHPORN!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Yeah today was waaaay nastier than the weatherman predicted. It sucks that over 10 boats showed up to fish and many of u drove a long ways to not even launch. Lees was nasty it wasnt bad on most of the lake we had little trouble fishing the back sides. Once again mr walleye cleaned house.......good job anthony......not shabby for 3 hrs on LH!

me and eddie just got leftover eyes and crappie, i hope dale and jeremy do well, they had a nice fat walleye off the bat, and dale doesnt quit easily!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Great job to the guys who made it out. 2 Sundays in a row blowing 30+mph, someone turn off the fans already !

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Came out of my house at 4:30 and was surprised it was calm and pretty warm out. Drove 45 miles to LH and was in a freezer wind tunnel:eek:
Nice turnout of guys, and nice to meet some new faces.
Was blowing hard and pretty chilly as well.
Went home and ate my sandwich.

Somebody needs a boat mechanic:D
Anyone going next weekend that needs a second PM me.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Was good to me everyone today, weather sucked and next Saturday they are calling for 25 with gusts to 45. A long way off but it's gonna blow sometime around Saturday.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Yes it was quite a day on the high seas, I THOUGHT FOR A FEW SECONDS that I was on Raritan Bay! Well you all know I am an extreme guy so we launched and she fired up and gave her full throttle into the belly of the beast and she quit!!!! ONCE AGAIN I was able to keep it running and we fished till around 2:00pm even though we should have packed it in way earlier. So anyway it was a HYBRID meet/greet and that is what we caught one nice fat wiper about 22 inches but thick with some nice shoulders to it. Jeremy has the pic of it so prob about 2/3 weeks before he posts the porn! We were on the leeward side and saw the birds working pretty good so drug our baits over there and had herring busting on the surface and coming out of the water even in those waves. We came across the humps and it took the bait as we trolled out to deeper water. Good solid fish prob high fives/six pounds cpr'd. We were all over the lake looking for fish and some where to duck out of the wind but to no avail. Finally after I was drenched we decided to pull the plug!
It was great to meet some of the other guys and the two lurkers who showed up to fish with us!
Sign up guys you won't regret it!!!!
As soon as I got home I ripped the carb off and found the bowl and fuel pump screen loaded with sand. Wilson????? I thought I saw you by my boat!!!!!lol
So off to my buddys who owns a carb shop to ultra sonic clean it and be ready to roll for next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe we should have all gone and had coffee and breakfast instead, NAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Who's that good looking guy in the bow of GetANet?!?!?! LoL...

Was pretty nasty out there today boyzz... Glad we managed to launch safely and that Dale, yet again, was able to figure things out with the motor and have us underway to grab bait. Once set up on the troll we saw some birds working and tried to fish around them. Luckily one fish in striped pajamas decided to come calling. Fish was 22"... And FATTTTTT!! Put on a good show, too. Had me over and under lines and flip flopping in the bow as Dale worked to keep the boat straight and the lines free. Here's the shot of the wiper...

Catch em' up!

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Sounds like an adventure for sure. Sorry to hear the weather didn't cooperate boys. Way to stick it out for those who dared. Nice fish there guys...at least the skunk was avoided.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Glad you guys got some fish. The wind was blowing hard enough that I was concerned about loading the boat back on the trailer. Hopefully we'll have better luck next time around.

Jim

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Glad you guys got some... it was still good to see you bunch of maniacs again...

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

I know you guys like to C&R and that's great, but I can't help to think what a few of those would be like cleaned and cut into chunks then dipped in batter and put into the deep fryer :) Such great looking fish !!! I ran into an old friend and he was a chef, did amazing things with the fish I gave him.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Nice.

Re: Hybrid M+G 10/26 on LH
 

Keep saying gonna try one and keep waiting for a bleeder but just never seems to happen which is a good thing when you really think about it so I will just have to get a fish platter from KEYPORT FISHERY instead LOL!
