Bob's Best Bets June 30, 2009 Walleye fishing has slowed down remains good at Wilson reservoir. White Bass are schoolng and a few reports of some surface action. Night fishing under the lights has been good at area lakes. Catfish are picking up as the spawn ends with some good reports from chummers at area reservoirs. Other reports Some of the outlets at area reservoirs are producing some good fishing for a variety of species. Farm ponds and state lakes have remained good for Largemouth Bass with some surface action reported. Smallmouth Bass fishing fair at Wilson.
June 10, 2009 Summer fishing patterns are starting to form at area lakes and reservoirs. Anglers are finding Walleye fishing getting tougher as the weather warms up while White Bass fishing improves almost every day.
At most of the lakes, Crappies have moved away from the spawning banks. Wipers and Stripers are schooling in traditional deep summer areas with live bait anglers catching some decent numbers. Middle of June is the start of some good night fishing under lights at our reservoirs. White Bass will make up most of the catches but at some lakes, there is the bonus of some Crappies and Walleyes. Summertime is when many anglers think deep and give up on some species like Crappies. While Walleyes may require fishing down to 35 to 45 feet at Wilson, Kanopolis Saugeyes are consistantly caught at depths less than 10 feet.
Council Grove reservoir has a good population of Saugeyes and local anglers take good numbers of nice fish trolling in 5 to 10 feet of water in the Summer months. Eastern Kansas Crappie fishers hit the shallow water(4-6 ft) with standing timber to take nice slabs all Summer.
Smallmouth Bass will congregate in the shallow weed beds at Wilson reservoir. Weedless topwater baits offer some exciting action for the Smallies on hot Summer days. Farm ponds with weed beds also give up some nice Largemouths to anglers using weedless topwater baits. Heavy line is required as you may have to crank in 3 lbs of fish and 5 lbs of weeds. After the Catfish spawn end in late June, chumming with fermented grains kicks in at area reservoirs. On the right day, limits of Channel Catfish can be caught in just a few hours.
Summertime is here and with most all the area lakes and reservoirs in good condition, it should be some good fishing.
F.Y.I Salina anglers did good at the Wildscape Governors Cup at Milford on June 13. Big Walleye catch prize went to Tim Strunk and his team. Heaviest Walleye stringer turned in by Steve Brown (the attorney) and his partner. Wildscape also dedicated 2 new Cabins in the Milford State Park the evening of June 12th.
Walleye Pros Troy Ethridge and Guy Ryan are having a good year and currently are tied for 7th place in the Kansas Walleye Association tournament standings.
Wiper limits at Marion reservoir have been raised to 5 per day effective this year. It should be interesting to see how this affects the Wiper population.
Saugeyes do not reproduce. This hybrid cross of a Walleye and a Sauger is sterile. Fishermen who keep this species in the pre spawn and spawn are not hurting the populations. All Saugeyes in our lakes have been stocked. Tip of the week While you may have to go deep for some species in the summer, other species may be shallow. Saugeyes are a good example. Most are caught in less than 10 feet during the Summer months. Hunting seasons DEER Application Deadlines: Resident Any-Deer Draw: July 10 , 2009;
