Starvation Walleye

[Lunddude]

I'm headed to Starvation for a few days this week for a little walleye action, and was wondering if any ones fished it lately. Any news good or bad much appreciated. [cool][cool]

Thanks,
Mike

Fished last weekend, it was good in the Strawberry River Cave and Rabbit gulch. Bottom bouncers and Walle Divers. Salturas Wash did not produce at all.

Glad you are headed down this way Mike, You will be going by my Elk camp on your way down. I heard they were going to try and do a benifit there for Roger is that why you're headed this way? If you get this shoot me a PM. I fished it fairly often this summer and did great on several trips. I'm leaving tomorrow for the Archery Elk opener Thurs. Have a great trip.

PETE.

Hit it Fri. the 17th. Caught fish on crank baits and jig head with a nightcrawler. Caught 9 eyes and a bunch of smallies. Kept 6 walleyes. 2 really nice ones. Caught fish every where we fished.

Thanks for the report guys. Looking forward to catching a few Eyes this weekend. I'll post a report when I get back Monday.

Man, are we talking about the same lake? Starvation? I couldn't buy a bite for a million dollars there last Friday. Bottom bouncers, crankbaits, spinners, you name it. I swear I'm cursed to never catch one of those things...Hope you have better luck than I did. I would say that the storm the night before killed the fishing, but it sounds like everyone else did just fine. What's wrong with me![]

I know the feeling man. I have only fished it one other time 2 years ago. I went down to fill in for a buddy who's partner couldn't make it to fish a tourney. I was the non boater, not that it made any difference. We had a Huge storm the night before the tournament, me and my buudy (who has fished it before and done good) could not buy an "Eye" for the next 2 days. The bite was very "Light". I hope that is not a repeat or it will be a "Long Time" before I go back to "STARVATION" (That is just not a good name for a fishing lake LOL!!!).

[cool][#0000ff]Starvation is definitely a "90/10" pond. 90% of the fish can be in only 10% of the water. If you find them you can usually catch them...not always. They can be fickle.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You would think that there would be fish all over the lake, but that does not seem to be the case. Starvation regulars have their proven areas that usually hold fish...even on changing water conditions. But, even the most successful Starvation anglers sometimes have to look in several places...and change tactics...before finding fish on any given trip.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Anybody who tells you that they catch lots of fish on every trip to Starvation will lie about other things too.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Probably the best example is the ice fishing picture for that lake. It holds bajillions of walleyes, perch and smallmouth...and some good trout too. BUT...last winter there were a whole lot of savvy chiller-drillers who swiss cheesed that whole lake without finding a mark on sonar...from shallow to deep. The fish have to be somewhere...but where?[/#0000ff]
