Kansas Angler Fishing Reports, Tips, News & Information

June 28, 2010 - Cheney - June 28, 2010 Monday. Fishing has been very good. They have been hard to get to bite. These fish I'm catching are just below ledges not on top which for me are harder to catch trolling. My trolls have to be precise to get them to bite. I think as time goes they will be easier to catch latter part of summer. G.P.S. is a must right now to be precise along with high quality sonor. Caught today 4 Walleye 1 was 28". 4 nice Wipers, all way over 21" and a ton of White Perch. I got tired trying for BIG fish so i went to a know Perch area and they were STACKED. No wind today so it was EASY picken with my Ele. trolling motor. Perch are real nice sized. Used Kastmaters jigging. There were Huge fish on top of them but no takers. Cleaned my catch and seen this fella with two young kids on board getting ready to hit the lake. BOY i wish i could have took those young kids to the Perch spot. Gave him the location of it and wished him the best of luck. These perch if you can find them schooled up would be great for kids. One of my boys is in summer school, (W.S.U.) and the other weights at high school. They were not happy when i told them of my catch today. One of my pictures was from last week. Mark.

June 21, 2010 - Cheney - June 21, 2010 Monday morning. Got the lake very early due to the forecast of high wind in the late afternoon. Wipers are now biting for me and there nice sized one's all over 21". Caught around 6 of those. Caught one nice 12 lb. Striper, (first one at Cheney in a long time). Caught around 8 Walleye all short except for one that was 25". Another Huge blue cat or Catfish could not tell. It weighed in at 28 lbs. I've been hitting this one area each time i go out and allways land one or two huge Catfish. Lake is high but seams to be clear till mid-lake area. Shad starting to show up in schools. Mark.

June 4, 2010 -Marion - June 04, 2010 Friday. Had a good day. Weather was great. Light South winds. Downrigged all morning. Hit many spots. Walleye population looks real good. Caught around 10. All under 21". Most in the area of 15-18". Once caught two on one pole using the three way swivel. Mother of all catches this morning was one 30 lb. Flathead. One 15 lb. Catfish.

Cannot believe both Eastside and Westside public docks are NOT installed. Here it is June 04. Thank goodness the Cheney Lake Ass. built one years ago and donated it to the park on the Eastside. About the only excellent dept. of fish and game that does a wonderfull job is the fish hatcherys. Just think if anyone from out of state came to launch a boat what they would think. Mark.

April 19, 2010 -Marion - Marion 4/16/10 - Got to Marion about 3pm. Pretty breezy but we started trolling right out of the ramp headed south and before we knew it the first wiper was on. We trolled the dam, the south side, and pretty much the middle of the lake around the river channel. The channel turned out to be the best. Most of the 7 fish we caught were wipers right around 4lbs. We did get one white bass. The were all caught on trolled rattle traps. Pretty good day!

March 19, 2010 -Cheney - We got to the dam at Cheney about 7pm on 3/18/10. Started throwing rattle traps, jigs, and shad raps. Didn't get a thing till after dark, maybe about 9pm. First got a 22 inch walleye followed by a 20 inch walleye. A few casts later BAM! This 9lb 29 inch walleye just slammed my rapala stick bait. Was a lot of fun! Tons of people on the dam.
