Night bite at sherman

#639970 - 02/23/08 11:22 AM

We were headed to Calamus this morning.Got a late start.So when we got to my son in laws place . We just headed over to Sherman,
We were set up by 2:30 am. Crappie stared to bite right around the lights and trees. About 3 the tip up just outside the lights and in the dark stared to go off. Kyle and I drilled a couple holes around the most active tip ups. The tip up at that time was just getting the bait smashed l or stolen of the hook. I had fl 18 on zoom. And Kyle was using his 8. Boy did we do something right. First out of the hole was 29 in walleye. I would say half hour later we all were jigging walleye out of 25 foot of water . Got a couple af cats along with the walleye. Ended up with 4 over and 12 between 19 and 21.I say we had 20 or so crappie and a couple of whites. Hopping to get a earlier start to night..I do not think we can keep any walleye till mid night. So that's when we are headed out.

Congrats FishFair

Sounds like a super outing; what part of the lake you fishing? There have been a lot of fishermen up trail 8 in the past week.

Hope to get up there soon and catch some crappies and 'eyes.

Might be hard to duplicate your outing though. Not much of a night owl in my old age.

Congrats again, that's what I call....
Good fishin'

FishFair, you sure do get to alot of the lakes this time of the year. Last weekend Harlan and now Sherman?? I sure hope that you are taking some pictures of all those huge walleye( 9 pounder at Harlan and 29 incher at Sherman). You shouldn't be so shy and share some pictures.
