Getting out in the boat tonight as long as the storms pass through like they're saying. Probably going to be a 11-3am kind of trip, targeting bass and walleye. I'm still figuring out patterns on the lake I'm fishing(Monksville Res.), but what should I know about post-storm baitfish patterns? Are the bait and big guys still going to run to the shallows, or will they be stationed along dropoffs? I will be packing my fishfinder tonight, so it looks like ill be doing a lot of scanning lol. Thanks guys.

I was planning on doing the same thing but from shore. Do you have an open seat by any chance?

Hey guys -

curious if you got out at monksville - radar looked a bit dangerous and i'm curious if you went and if so - how did you do?

cheers,

I did get out there the other night...arrived at about midnight and fished until 3am. Weather was completely cooperative, as it was great temperature wise. It was relatively slow though, as the only fish landed was by my brother on a black scumfrog. Fish was about 2.5lbs (LMB). Thinking the big storm messed them up a bit...
