Possibly sturgeon

maybe cats

If not it could have been the Ottawaska Monster

I would say Walleye and Cats , On Saturday we caught 13 walleye in that area and none of which were shallower than 50 feet

Ottawaska monsters plural

! Actually xenos some lads were catchin them in 15ft of water as well, I think I was right beside u guys on the other side of clay bank, u guys beat me to the chase, I jigged for a bit and toured, I was in princraft pro 162, I saw u guys pull a couple up and was jealous

, good show out there! Sturgeon in the mad eh, I guess puttin the ball down with a husky jerk was a lil far fetched. haha.

Though I dont target eyes' on the Mad to often in recent years(to busy chasing muskies now) I have found that if you pan fry eyes' fish deep, but there a plenty of larger walleyes using the weeds and old creek arms. We have caught a few over 5lbs in the past few years none of which were any deeper than 20'.

Just my 2 cents, take it or leave it.

You're onto something there relic, I have been fishing the river deep for years and the Walleye down there are plenty full however small.

Just a guess for me as I don't even know if they're in there, but maybe whitefish??

How was the fishing this weekend??? Get any keepers??

Monster Hunter Thanks. Wolf I caught one of those silver fish ( mooneye) is this a white fish?

Post by **Relic** » Tue May 24, 2005 5:12 pm

Xenos, mooneye are not a whitefish and I dont believe there is any Whitefish in the system

Mooneye however are a favorite snack for muskies, and I am sure walleyes will eat them to when there sick of eating the bizzilions of perch that inhabit that stretch of the river.

That sucks you had kicker problems. Yes I am going to give Scotty a call tonight to see what's up. I wasn't in the house too much last night.. cutting the lawn and all that crap.
