Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 Took a pass through the Oxbow yesterday looking for a wandering Walleye. In the spring you could motor right around the island but not now. She is just choked with grass weeds and pads on the west side. Caught this fellow in the 15 to 17ft range along the rocks. It almost jumped into the boat. Didn't spend a lot of time in there so only this one was caught. The only other interesting thing of note which I failed to capture was 7 turtles all sunning themselves on a stump sticking out of the water. Hope you enjoy the video.

eyelander 163 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 Haven't fished there for at least 15 years, usually in winter. Can be fun getting one that size and on occasion larger through an ice hole.

Dirttracker18 26 Report post Posted September 27, 2017 We have caught some big pike in that oxbow. My wife had what I would describe as the biggest pike I have seen in person at the side of the boat before her line broke. She reeled in a 37" just after that and it looked small in comparison. Sounds like a good fish story I know but I have always hoped to get that one back on the line. Quote The Great Outdoors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is located where you used to be able to walk down until the Fort put up the fence.
