Those gizzards are getting bigger and bigger, might be why they have pulled a few stripers in the 20-30lb range now up there.  It'll be interesting to see if the stripers can maintain as they use to peak out at around 5lbs.  Anyone have a lure that size and shape?  :fish:

Last year dozens of stripers caught often in the 3-5lb range.  This year, only a handful caught total (less than 5?).  Not sure where they went or possibly we are all on the bottom and the stripers aren't (except of course Tom with his senko).

they have netted some big gizzard shad out of roosevelt that size and bigger, only thing that is going to eat them in rosy is a 30-40lb flat head :o

guys reporting on waynesword that stripers are acting weird now at Powell, hope your weather holds out, rain here at the house been windy all day and snowing in Flagstaff :banghead:

Here are the final Walleye numbers:

Friday

Dave, Tom & Wally 14
Bill & LLL 10
Marvin & Mark 7
Kelley & Patti 2
Mike & Debbie - did not fish

If Boo did the math right, for the trip the group caught 234 Walleye. Respectable given the fact we were one boat down most of the trip & minus 3 guys the last few days.  Good job to all!!!

Now for the winners of the longest Walleye & Goon Fish contest:

Taking the prize for the longest Walleye was Mrs. Sandman!  Patti caught a 21 1/8" Walleye

Winner of the longest Goon Fish contest was Tommy Fishman catching a 18 3/4" Striper


Dick - couple guys brought their little inexpensive box freezers you can get from Home Depot or Lowes.

Thanks for the idea Larry, I think I will invest in one. I'll be looking forward to talking to you on Sunday after you return. Give my best to all the guys and I hope you all have safe and uneventful travel home. Also, if any of you do have some sort of problem delaying you overnight, remember I have a place up in Flagstaff you can overnight at.

Geez, what a great trip again.  I'm already trying to figure out a way to get my boys and parents up there.  The boys would love hooking onto one of them walleyes.  I wanted to first say thanks to Tim and Jerry being great cabin mates even with boat trouble we made it work.  The AZCrappie crew stepped up for sure!  I was able to ride on Marv's boat once, Larry's boat twice, Mike and Debbie's boat once, and offers to ride along with Kelley and Patti's boat.  Hell, Dave's boat had 3 people and I wouldn't doubt if push came to shove, they'd add a 4th!  The generosity of everyone was unmatched and I wanted to say thanks again for that.  I kinda liked seeing how each boat fished - can I do that again next year? :-)  Was always fun to have Tom there with his "excitement" and various fishing techniques.  I don't know how he does it but wow, managing 2 poles while not getting snagged fishing both walleye and smallmouth he still caught 12 one of those days! 

Fish fry was a success, thanks Timbo for really making that come together.  Meals, wow everyone put on some great stuff.  Boats came in early to prepare solid dinners each night.

Jerry, thanks for the cards' box.  My boys and I are going to stain it tomorrow hopefully stay tuned for pictures.  Jerry, I do hope you and Merlot Kid still make the trip up next year.  Brian, we missed you for sure.  I hope your health improves so you can resume this trip next year.  It wasn't the same without you there.  Dick, Joe - perhaps you too can resume your attendance next year.  I don't see the walleye fishing slowing down anytime soon.

good job

leave late and drive easy if leaving today, (winter driving conditions up near Flagstaff) should be gone by noon, that dirt road down the hill from Powell might be a little interesting :dontknow:


Matt you had boat trouble :dontknow:
