Good luck!  Starvation is another spot I'd like to know more about.  Mostly caught perch and rainbows.

 Thanks.  Thats one of those places I try a lot.  What I mean by "snake-bit" is, I once went there with my aging father, who loaded up with powerbait and got two, while I struck out with crawlers and various hardware/jigs.

I don't mean the stuff you posted in your post.  I could have written your post back to me (both of them) myself, from about age twelve, nd while i'm extremely grateful that you took the time,, I'm still not catching fish.

I'd love to just put in the time, and be grateful, and I  guess that's the missing ingredient, but I simply can't do it.  That's a reality that isn't available to me.  So, I'll just take my random blind swings and eventually hope I hit a ball.

When it come eyes, I spent many times out in front of the guys at Lincoln that where out to there chest,  talked to them, they showed me there jig, told me what they are doing, fished right next to them, they all but casted for me. I watched intently as they caught eyes while I caught rocks,  a few of the guys in the boats would give me tips, got to know a few of them by there boat, 

One thing they always said you got to put your time in. I do ok now for them but its taken alot of time fishing and not catching, Pat knows his stuff cause he has put more time in than about any person could in 3 lifetimes, 

there is about 2 more weeks or so spawn at Lincoln most he time its weather permitting is when you go, just keep after it, it will come around but it takes time. dont give up Its worth it when that big ol mama make the water swirl with her tail befor you even get to see her,

I have only spent one four-hour stretch out there, but did the same: mimicking every move, etc.   I remember watching twenty guys leave one after another with 24" walleyes, each after catching "their" fish, until I was the last one standing there in the dark.


So, I went off and caught a few nice cats for a consolation prize.

Yup been there,  dont keep those big females, not a s good eating as a 20 inch,  besides need them for brood stock, but I have returned the favor by catching and them not, it was a great day, those guys about drowned when I threw  a 28 incher back in the lake, good thing I was out above there waders  or they would have climbed in the boat with me.
