Oneida eyes

[jigs]

I fished the bear for some cats and smallies last night, if you can believe it i landed a 24 inch eye on a popper of all things. i couldnt believe it. It hit just like a huge smallie. We only landed 1 cat but i missed alot of bites.

I was in Benson area(UT side). The river was high and running full force(trolling motor didn't cut the cookie)!! Pulled into this swamped out finger...3feet of water max! Kitty's and Crappy I found plus this Mutant Channel!
Bet he'd been buried in that mud for a couple years before the flood! Check out the bait!!

I know exactly where that swamped out finger is. I tried to figure out what bait that is but I am partially blind. Is it part of a shrimp? The river has been so high, I haven't even tried fishing it yet, It should be coming down soon. Then I will be out to play. Good work on the cat, that sure is a dark ugly one![sly]

So was that on your fly rod? I had one evening at Rockport Reservoir in Utah when the yellow perch were going nuts on topwater. I thought that was pretty strange too.

As for walleye, I stopped by Oneida for an hour or two Friday morning. I was hoping to get into the smallies, but only caught one dink. I did find one little weed bed on a point in only 5 feet of water where the walleye were feeding. I caught four in that little ten foot circle and nothing anywhere else. One was decent, the rest were maybe 12". They made some excellent fish tacos though. On the way back to the truck I caught a huge carp on my jig. That was quite a fight.

Thanks! The wind was kicking up quite a bit when I caught them. I figured getting there in the morning would produce well, but it sounds like I can get some sleep and still get some eyes. I was surprised too at how close they were hitting to my tube. I think I'll try The Bear between school and work on Wednesday.
