First Starvation Report

[WET1]

I hit Starvation Sunday and Monday this week. Fished pretty hard from 9 to 8 on Sunday and 6 to 2 on Monday. Only ended up with one walleye to show for it although it was a nice one at 19.5 inches. Slimers were out in full force though and in great shape. I caught several that were 18 to 19 inches and 3 pounds with fantastic red meat. I think if a guy pulled cranks you could load the boat with them right now, I was trying to avoid them and still ended up catching 6 to 10 each day. I just could not find the walleye or the perch. I ended up with only one jumbo perch for the trip as well. Now to the details:

Mud line extends down to Rabbit, with stained water throughout Rabbit and above the bridge is very chocolate with lots of debris coming down. Water temps above the bridge are 52 with 53’ish in Rabbit and 55 – 56 in Saluratus. Air temps were in the 40’s with lots of wind! Did I say wind at Starvation? There is no water coming into Knights inlet and the water from the launch ramp north is clear. I fished 8 foot to 40 foot and did not find any concentration of fish. The one walleye I caught was in 34 feet of water in Saluratus and caught bottom bouncing. I’ll be headed back in 2 weeks and hopefully the water temps will be up a bit by then. Post spawn, water temps in the low 50’s and cold front conditions will be my excuse this time. It was good to get out though…
