Spoonbill and I launched at 8:30.Slight walleye chop and water temps at 49 degrees.
Ran over to Salratus then to Rabbit and didn't find any concentration of fish. At the mouth of Rabbit we did mark alot of fish from 55 to 67 feet that I was fairly sure were walleyes. Being at that depth we would have killed them If we could have got them to bite so we left them alone.

Cranked up the Verado and ran down to the other side of the bridge where we had good success during the Classic in Sept.
We marked a fair amount of fish but scattered so decided to put the bouncers down.
It was slooow. Not so much the fishing but my reaction time and my lack of paying attention [crazy]
First fish was a good one pushing 28 inches and we were guessing 8 #. Spoonbill took a pic and I released her. I ended up poping one more about 17 inches and missed 4 bites.
Spoonbill only had one bite and lost the fish half way to the boat. It looked like it could have been a good one according to the bend in the rod.
Great day to be on the water with the weather being comfortable and good company.
For a change no wind [cool] A rare day on Starvation.

We really didn't get into the fish until later in the day so our productive time was limited.
The fish were in 30 to 40 feet of water but were not hugging the bottom. Most looked to be suspended about 5 to 8 feet off the bottom.
Long bouncers, fire tiger orange and gold sparkly smilly blades were what we were using.
Seems like .75 mph was the ticket with most bites coming on the inside turn rod which would make the presentation slower.
It was definatly a slow short bite. The fish were not aggressive.

Pete, if I was living in Riverton Wy. I would have been on Boysen instead of Starvation. We still haven't nailed down our dream house yet. Still looking.

Most people would say that you were lying about the size of the fish. I believe you about the fish but what I don't believe is that the wind wasn't blowing at Starvation [].
Any day at Starvation with no wind is a good day if you ask me. Did you get a water temp?

I fished Starvation this morning (Nov. 6). Saw fish on the graph, tried bottom bouncing, drop shotting, tube jigs, and crankbaits but ended up with skunk.

Water temp was 49*F.
