Lake: Dobie
Dates: 7/17-7/22/2011
Group: Holte
Report: 1st trip to Dobie. Unusually warm water temp, 75 degrees. Extremely hot weather and no wind until the last day. Walleye action was hot and heavy. Avg size 17-20 inches. Caught hundreds of walleye in the main lake. Jig fishing 10-25 feet of water and trolling lipless cranchbaits worked fantastic. Many walleyes suspended. Big northerns already gone deep and not active. They were not in the weeds, likely the warm weather moved them out deeper to the rocks and main lake points. Largest northern caught 40 inches. However, personally witnessed 50 inch ++ huge northern. Hooked and had beside the boat 3 times and could not land it. Biggest northern I have ever seen in over 20 fly in trips!!! It was a absolute monster. Great outfitter. As always, L & M does an excellent job and the facilities were great!
