Laurie Murphy's Report

Laurie Murphy:

The Knee Deep Club held their Fall Walleye contest this past weekend , the last  of the year. Unfortunately they were unable to fill the 6 winning places, but the guys did manage to pick away at some nice fish. First place went to John Moran with a 5 lb 8 oz fish. Second place went to Krzysztof Bak with a 4 lb 9 oz walleye, and third place went to Petro Chang with a 3 lb 14 oz fish. Gift Certificates to Dows Boat Rental went to fourth place finisher Bob Smith, with his fish weighing in at 3 lb 8 oz and fifth  place went to Mike Anzalone with a 2lb 13 oz. Herring, night crawlers and jigs seemed to have the best results. Bob Smith also landed himself a nice smallmouth bass weighing 3 pounds. Junior Knee Deep club member Max Hughen landed himself a nice Largemouth Bass hitting the scales at 4 lb 5 oz. Several Hybrid Striped Bass weighing between 7 and 8 pounds are being caught along with lots of fish in the 3 to 5 pound range, using Chicken livers if you can find them, along with ice fishing rapalas , and small herring. We are seeing lots of white perch along with some yellow perch and crappie being caught on small plastic jigs and the small herring. We will remain open until the end of the month with boat rentals. We are open 7 days a week from 6:30 AM - 5 PM with bait & tackle.  Have a great week !
