Scott Frame with a 10.9lb
walleye

The Fall Walleye fishing on mighty river has been very good for my boat. The big walleyes have not been camera shy on my last 3 trips

The guide gets a good catch
once in a while!

The only consistent presentation for my boat has been to mix it up, meaning, do not get locked on to one single bait. Big walleye have come to the boat on ringworms, k-grubs, hair jigs, paddle tails and crank baits. Being able to pattern a best color or bait has been tough to do. The key has been targeting shallow water along riprap. Once an area with good numbers of walleye has been found, work um over good with several offerings

Chuck with a ringworm
walleye!

Best fish on the last 3 trips was Scott Frame’s 10.9lb Walleye

. Scott took this big sow in about 5’of water on a #7 shad rap. The crank bait was good to Scott on this day with some other big walleye falling victim to his crank bait as well

. The rest of Scot’s eyes will be pictured below. Scott had a walleye just shy of 10lbs on our trip last Fall. It was nice to see you brought you’re A game on this day while topping last years catch! Congrats on the fish of a lifetime Scott

This fish was released in hopes of seeing another anglers net. I want to thank you and Chuck for spending another Fall day in my boat. I am already looking forward to next years trip!

Dave Koonce with a hair jig
walleye!

I had the chance to fish with Dave Koonce, former owner of B-fish’n tackle, and his brother Dan Koonce. The walleye bite was very good for the three of us on this day. Dave boated his two biggest eyes of the day on a hair jigs, my best fish came on a 3/16oz sour apple precision jig head tipped with a firecracker k-grub. This bait is always good for a big walleye or two when water temps are hovering in the 50 degree range. I had another big walleye on an oyster shell paddle tail. Dan’s best walleye came on a crank bait.

There will be much more detailed information to see from my trip with Dave and Dan. Stay tuned for further details later in the week

! Dave, as always, it was a riot to fish with you again! Thanks to you and Dan for spending a day in my boat.

Sorry that I have no information on the Sauger bite. I would venture to guess the Sauger are on the chew as well if you can find them.

Get out and do some Fall fishing!

I’ll see you on the river!
