Went out a few nights ago and fished the deck for an hour. I ended up with two whitebass a small walleye and lost two nice smallmouth bass. I was using an ultra light with a man shad fryz paddle tail on a 1/16th ounce jig. Saw a few cats get caught too.
There is a small bite window as the sun is setting but it closes quick.

The women in my life all had plans last night and they left me home alone on a Saturday night. What's a 56 year old overweight guy with no friends supposed to do. GO FISHING!
I headed to the walleye deck at voyager park. I knew it was going to be a sheep show and it did not dissapoint. I caught a bunch of goats on my ultra light. As the sun was going down there was a small bite window of about 20 minutes that opened up. I caught a couple of nice fish, white bass and walleye..........and a goat.

Lake flies were pretty bad but the white bass were biting pretty good. I fished from shore for about an hour and caught six. I had a bunch of short bites too. If I had downsized to a more appropriate bait I probably would have caught way more. But I only brought my pole and that jig and a bag of those tails. They were chasing the shad into the shallows and schools of shad were breaching the surface and you'd just see a big swirl. Like I said, I am sure a 2-3" paddle tail would have worked better.
Son in law caught a sauger Sat. in the fox around red can in front of voyager. I'm over 70--I have never caught a sauger in the bay or fox river. The creel guy on shore looked at us different and dont think even had a place to check sauger. Has anyone else ever caught a sauger around this area. Yes, I caught many in Bago, caught saugeye also. Very different colored sauger, here, kicking myself for not taking a picture. I imagine because of the water color and such it was really a colorful fish but still very easy to recognize. Sauger was about 16 inches.
