Well i Havn't posted in a while, i have been real busy, but i did manage to get out to Lake Audabon and it was quite a trip. I did get to see Sakagawea and it was really low, i sure hope we get a lot of snow in the mountains this winter to get that water level back up.
Well that morning we headed out and it was pretty nice until we got there, thats when the wind picked up to about 35 mph. It can be tough fishing on a boat with wind like that. Well we found that the fish were right on the bottom in about 15 to 20ft. of water so we found a spot right in the middle of the lake using bottom bouncers, lindy rigs and cranks and only managed to pick up one 16 inch walleye but then we had to move because the wind was pretty much picking the boat up right out of the water and we were getting really wet. By that time the wind had picked up to 45 mph and it was only about 57 degrees out.
We headed to the shore line that was filled with rocks and it was kinda of like a wind breaker so that was nice, and we managed to get 5 walleyes but they werent the biggest walleye maybe the biggest was 18 inches.
Then we headed to one more spot trying to ingore the coldness, ( it was like winter) we found a little bay with a depth of 17ft and started there and picked up a few smallmouth bass , a drum and 5 more walleyes, then it was time to pack it up.
The fishing trip went good even though it was so cold. But hopefully i will get to go out there again before winter.
