Starvie Report

[MSM1970]

We were there Friday afternoon/Saturday sun up to sundown and found the same results you did. Friday afternoon was spent in Saluratus. We found water from 43 up to 55 in the mud line. Saturday we ran to the Strawberry inlet and fished the bridge to the inlet. I only found walleye in one location, at least they looked liked walleye on the Livescope, they would not eat. We fished rock, sand, mud, deep, mid, shallow- pitched jigs, threw cranks, dragged bouncers and pulled cranks. Never landed one fish- got three hits. I’ve been trying to figure out the walleye on Starvation for 3 years now. I’ll have 1 day I catch fish out of 5. Might be time to move on. The weather was pretty decent. We got the normal Starvation winds, but nothing over 20. After an intense situation on Powell a few years back, with the family aboard my 16’ boat, my wife told me we needed a bigger boat. I granted “her” wish and now we have a 20’ deep V with a 200 hp motor.  I don’t think Starv is big enough to generate a pucker factor like with my 16 footer. We love it. Not only is it safer, it has way more room and is incredibly stable. We also stayed in the cabin. There was one other group in the campground and about 5 boats on the lake. That new cabin is a mini house that has a kitchen and a bathroom. It’ll be nice.

I fished Saturday with same results, had 2 hits, couldnt even get a bow to play, the fish were hiding good, didnt mark many,  seemed like no one was doing very good, nobody stayed in one spot very long, with water upper 40s, they arent active much yet.  look like with temps may be it will be in the low 50s this weekend, hopefully better, thinking sand wash maybe,  but it was a beautiful day and I was on the water fishin, got the sunburn to prove it.
