" The first few weeks of August have proven to be some of the best fishing of the season. There is a common misconception that July and August are slower fishing months, that is not the case on Clay Lake. The walleye are hanging out on the sunken reefs around Burnt Island, Big Island and the Southshore Reef. They are biting on jigs with leeches between 18 and 22 feet. We are catching big smallies in the same area as the walleye. They are easy to catch with slip bobbers with leeches as well. Another great thing about August is the weather. This summers July and August months have been beautiful. We have had just enough rain to keep the water level near normal. Carmon was out with the Blackburn group from Kansas and caught lots of nice eyes and they even caught this great Northern on a jig. Jerry Harris from Missouri caught this great 44 in Northern. The biggest fish of the week. Way to go Jerry!! The Morrow brothers and their sons had great success again this year. The proof is in the pictures."
