June 25, 2001 - Wilson -The fishing at Wilson for the last ten days has been disappointing at best. With the lake levels rising the fish slowly shut down, once they started to release water it did improve for awhile and then went to slow as soon as the mud line was pulled to the main lake. The gates were slowed to 400 CFS this morning and the lake is near conservation level again. I just came back from fishing below the dam and caught 8 stripers up to 6 lbs, fishing minnows in the fast water. There were allot of stripers released so nows a good time to catch a few below the dam. Fishing conditions should improve rapidly now if the wind would slow to below 20 mph. Good Luck. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide
June 14, 2001 - Harvey County East - (6/13/01) Went out in the boat on one end of the lake & around 3:30 p.m.started catching channel cats. My husband caught 5, the largest 18 1/2 in. long. I caught 2 cats & 1 perch. It was hot but fun! Evelyn June 13, 2001 - Sedgwick County Park - Black bass are 0.5-2.0, rains bringing bass into shallow. Fishing near docks is best in clear/stained water. June 12, 2001 - Cheney - I have been fishing Cheney Resevoir for the last two weeks now about every night that is nice out. Been having luck on walleys on worms and white bass. The channel catfish have biting on shad and shad sides and the stripers. The fish have been 1to5 lb on the white bass and the catfish have been 2 to 18 lbs and the walleye have been 1 to 6 lbs and the stripers have been 3 to 11 lbs have been slow during the day but have been realy biteing at night. in the swimming area at Wichita point where they put all the rocks in the water. Thanks Alex Turley June 10, 2001 - Scott State Park - We wwnt fishing to Scott State park yesterday and we caught 3 carp that were 15, 14, and 10 pounds. they were huge, and we caught 7 catfish that were all around 3, to 4 pounds each. thanks for this site. Juan Sandoval June 10, 2001 - Shawnee - was at shawnee lake(topeka) last night(6/9) from around 3pm. till 11pm. small channel cats(-1lb.) biteing on chicken livers and shrimp. didn't get many hook sets due to short timid bites but had alot of bites.hope this helps to inform. June 10, 2001 - General - The best things to catch bass and other fish are worms and jigs. Use worms with bobbers. June 9, 2001 - Wilson - The walleye are still biting at Wilson. Went yesterday and after a day of poor results decided to go back in the evening to a spot that we had fished most of the day and only had 3 keepers to show for our trouble. The evening was a different story. We ended the day with 14 keepers between the three of us. The largest was 4lbs. Vance Stirn, Tescott
June 9, 2001 - Wilson - Fished
Wilson hard today only to end up with 5 stripers up to 12 lbs.
missed at least 10 more but still had a good time! With the water
levels on the rise it has certainly changed the fishing but it
should improve soon. We were fishing the lucas park area with
live shad at about 38 feet. Good Luck!
June 8, 2001 - Cedar Bluff - On
June 6 and June 7 my wife and I caught a really nice mess of
black crappie on Cedar bluff. We were fishing the tree lines
in about 10 to 14 foot of water. Most of the fish were in the
10 to 12 inch range. We caught several nice whites and a few
sub legal Walleye while crappie fishing. Also managed to catch
a few suspended blacks in the same locations; two of which were
of legal size. Cabin cove, cove 4, and Boy Scout cove were the
best locations. June 4, 2001 - Kanopolis - Went out this weekend the wypers are going crazy!!Fish any point on Venango area but hold on to your poles cause it don't take long.That is if you can keep the inconsiderate BOAT FISHERMAN from anchoring right where your catching them. Good Luck, Richard Frisbie
June 1, 2001 - Big Blue River - May 26-28 Big Blue River, Set out 8 bankpoles all baited with live perch, caught 10 flathead, biggest was 30 lbs. May 31, 2001 - Wilson - May 31 fished 8 hrs today only to catch 7 stripers up to 6 lbs. and caught 4 of those in 15 minutes fishing a 36 foot hump in the dam area. The prevailing northerly winds seems to have taken it's toll on the fishing. June 1 fished the dam and lucas area and caught 7 stripers up to 13 lbs. and several nice catfish. The stripers were still not on the feed but we did manage to get a hook in a few. Good Luck Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide May 30, 2001 - Cheney - Wichita and M&M points are great for wading in the mornings and evenings for walleyes. Use Rattle Traps, or shallow diving cranks! It can definately pay off! Any point area on the East side of the lake will usually produce nice walleyes and white bass using this technique. GOOD LUCK! MIKE May 27, 2001 - Wilson -Fished wilson friday evening and the stripers were hitting a little funny. We caught only 5 up to 6 lbs. in the Lucas park area on shad. Saturday morning they were still hitting funny but we ended up with 7 stripers up to 10 lbs. The last few days on northerly winds have slowed the fishing down a little but I am still getting reports of lots of nice walleye being caught. Most are drifting jig and worm combos but most of the larger walleye are being caught on leeches or minnows. Good Luck Jack Hoskinson. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide May 23, 2001 - Hillsdale - the
bass are biting pretty well on black / blue pig n jig in any
muddy water of about 3'-7' of water. the bass are holding very
tight to the May 23, 2001 - Hillsdale -Just
a little fishing report from me (will rogers) at Hillsdale lake.
the flathead cats are making their move. they are pretty active
in eating everything in their sight. I have caught 3 -15lbers,
28 lber, 35.9 lber, and a whopper for this lake a 50 lber.
all caught on trotlines on goldfish, green sunfish, and big big
perch. that my report for now. thanks, will rogers May 23, 2001 - Cheney - Are there any suggestions on where those of us who bank fish or wade on the dam can get into the Walleye. I was out 2 weeks ago and we got into about a half dozen of 16"-22"er's. But this last weekend we just couldn't get into them. Sincerely, Soon to be Boat Owner Chris If you have any suggestions, email them to us at the Kansas Angler Online and we will forward to Chris. May 23, 2001 - Osage State Lake - Hi, Hope everyone is having a good time fishing. Went to Osage 5/21 & 5/22. Catfish @ Osage are biting on liver & shad sides better than anything, getting them hooked is another story, they seem to be very smart catfish! Last night I caught 2 13 & 14 inch bass on worms ( on the bottom!). I also caught a turtle approx a foot in diameter who planted himself on the rocks and looked at me for a minute (while I was trying to remember where my scissors were to cut my line), he took care of it for me and bit my hook in half. My son went bananas & warned me he would not eat turtle soup. (But he will eat crawdads, Go figure!?) Guys fishing near me on 5/21 were catching approx 8 to 15 pound catfish on shad sides. To the guys ( Matt, Matt, Sean, & Travis) I hope you are still pulling in the big ones, and Thank you for being so nice to my son and his friend (& me). Hope to see you all down there again! Sean, Thank you for the Fish! - Rhonda May 21, 2001 - Cheney - They (walleye) were deeper on Saturday. Three of us caught limits in 12 ft. of water on No. 7 Fire Tiger Shad Raps between Wenzel Cove and Graber Cove. Took us a while to find them, but when we did we filled up quickly. May 21, 2001 - Harvey County East - I CAUGHT A 14 IN. WHITE BASS & THREW HIM BACK. ON A SUNDAY AFTERNOON THIS MONTH, I CAUGHT 6 PERCH, 4 WERE SUNPERCH. I DECIDED TO QUIT CUZ THATS ALL THAT KEPT BITING. EVERYTHING WAS CAUGHT WITH WORM. ALSO ON MAY 12TH, I CAUGHT A LARGEMOUTH BASS AT CLINTON STATE LAKE. HE WAS 10 IN. SO BACK IN HE WENT! IT WAS FUN. EVELYN May 21, 2001 - Wilson - The fishing on Wilson has been great the last week on Wilson with several stripers in the 8 to 10 pound range being caught and a 21 lber. being caught on the 20th. Most of the fish are being caught between Minooka and Lucas on live bait. Walleye fishing has also been excellent with a 9 1/2 lbers caught this week and lots of smaller fish. Right now is a great time to have a chance at a BIG striper or walleye. Good Luck. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide May 20, 2001 - Cheney - Fished Saturday 5-19 from 8:30 to 4:30 fish started biting at 12:30 pm, caught 4 20 to 24" Walleye, 3 Wipers 2- around the 3 lb mark 1 tipped 7 lbs. trolling in 11' depth. Sunday, was a bit better kept 6 Walleys from 18 to 26" and only 1 Wiper 8lbs. fished from 10am to 12 pm. Trolling deep bill Norman lures, with a 3 way swivel trailing a sassy shad. I read today that on 5-5 during the flw Walleye tournament on cheney, that 585 Keeper Walleye were weighed in. This year has been tremendous for keepers. I hope some of you are throwing some back!! Good Luck. MIKE Editor's Note: The tournament referred to was the Kansas Walleye Association tournament. Results from that tournament can be viewed by clicking here. May 17, 2001 - Cheney - My
wife and I went to Cheney Wednesday evening. The fishing was
a little tough. I don't know if it had anything to do with the
recent hot weather, moon phase, or other factors. My guess is
that the fishing pressure on the lake in the last few weeks has
had a lot to do with it. We managed to catch May 17, 2001 - Marion County - Fished most of Sunday the 13th. The crappie have not moved up yet (darn). But the channels are still biting all over the lake.Caught 2 16" channels in the dock on liver and 2 13" wipers on liver (weird).No luck jiggin for bass or crappie. The water is looking better and better though, wish those crappie would get it in gear! May 16, 2001 - Cheney - I've been averaging two fishing trips per week to Cheney reservoir over the past two months. Excellent walleye fishing has been experienced. On several occasions I have been very disappointed to see walleye thrown into the trash near the boat landings. This is a waste of a very valuable resource. With the amount of walleye being harvested out of Cheney this year, it will probably be another three or four years to see another bumper crop of keepers. Please if you don't plan on consuming what you catch....please consider catching and releasing.....
May 14, 2001 - Sebelius - Fished Keith Sebelius Res. the weekend of 5/13/01. a 15" lake. caught about 15 fish that were keepers and some smaller fish. the fish seemed to be very close to the bank, 1 to 4 feet, and were caught using plastics. 3/16 to 1/4 oz. weight.big bass was 6.4 lb.

Most of all big bass around 4-7 lbs are being caught in the 5-6 feet of water on lizards, soft craws and jigs. May 10, 2001 - Cheney - Fished
for Walleye on May 9 for about four hours. Me and my 4 year old
son and friend ended up with our best stringer of my boats first
year of fishing. It was to windy to fish our regular places,
and took us awhile May 9, 2001 - Cheney - Fished
the Walleye at Cheney on Monday. Light winds from the north and
east made the bite tough but not nearly as difficult as it was
in the afternoon when the wind stopped completely. Fishing from
9 to 12 feet we May 9, 2001 - Cheney - Fished
at Cheney last evening from 6:30 p.m until after dark. Was a
real nice evening. I fished off of the refuge point in about
10' - 12' of water using a jig and nightcrawler. I caught 2 keep
walleyes and 3 shorts, not to May 8, 2001 - Cheney - Again
hit the Walleye at Cheney. This time it was much better. Strong
south and westerly winds were really pushing the bait around
and enabled us to get a good drift speed going. Fishing a jig
and worm off of the points in 6 to 10 feet we had a 2 man limit
by 11:00. We also went up in 2-3 feet of May 8, 2001 - El Dorado - 5-8 6:00 p.m. 5 flatheads 9,12,14,and 2 maybe a pound threw the small ones back all caught on trotline no eggs oh and last night when baitng caught a 11lb with egg males no food in belly females with small crappie or perch in belly caught on black perch or gold fish May 8, 2001 - Harvey County East - My two stepbrothers and I went to this place for the first time and heard people were catching channelcat and blue well we were there for 4 hours and I caught a 2 pound carp, 4 channelcats, 1 saugeye, 1 bluegill. My stepbrothers caught catfish,and bass I caught 7 fish, joey caught 6 fish, and steven caught 3 fish. It was great. Have fun fishing. Erik May 8, 2001 - Kanopolis - Went
fishing monday may 7 caught 12 walleye 3 wipers. Seem to be hitting
best right at sunset. All fish were caught from bank in Venango
Area using night crawlers. 2 fish over 22 inches. May 7, 2001 - Wilson - Fished the Lucas area this evening and caught 14 stripers up to 9 lbs. missed at least 20 fish balloning shad and on down rods. Fishing from 10 to 28 feet deep over 50 feet of water using live shad. The stripers got real active at sunset! Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide May 7, 2001 - Cheney - My
wife (Janet) and I went to Cheney Sunday evening to do some walleye
fishing. The wind had pick up quite a bit from what it was earlier
in the day and had switched directions to the NNW. We started
fishing about 6:30 May 7, 2001 - Cheney - It
doesn't get any better than the walleye fishing at Cheney Reservoir
right now. Caught five keepers in three hours on Saturday and
two of us caught six keepers and three shorts in about three
hours Sunday afternoon. Every boat we saw was catching fish,
and there were lots of boats. Trolling Shad Raps in about six
feet of water, especially near humps of shallower water worked
for us. Drifters using jig and worm were also doing really well.
As the keepers get cropped off, it will get harder to catch what
is left, so take advantage soon. May 6, 2001 - Marion County Lake
- Just got back from Marion, County Lake, I was there
the 4th-5th. We caught some of nearly every species living in
the lake. The highlights were a few 18"+ Channels and a
4 pound drum. The latest kdwp reports is very accurate. The cats
were particularly active. The Angler's Friend, May 6, 2001 - Wilson - Well with the wind and the weather we were back to bank fishing! May 4 we caught 5 stripers up to 6 lbs. fishing live shad on the bottom. May 5 with an approaching storm the fish were hitting good and as the wind increased to 30 plus the waves were hammering the bank, it kind of reminded me of surf fishing! We caught 8 stripers up to 7 lbs. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide May 4, 2001 - Cheney - On the water on May 4th about 8:00 AM and caught 4 nice walleye, some wiper and white bass before 11:00 AM in Graber Cove. May 3, 2001 - Kanopolis - Me and son went sun.evening caught 15 white bass,5 keeper walleye in about an hour off the face of the dam. Went again mon. a.m. caught 10 keeper walleye.The best part was the boaters were catching nothing. May 2, 2001 - Wilson - The wife and I fished off the bank this evening between 5:30 and 7:30 at Lucas park. We caught 6 stripers up to 6 lbs. one catfish and one undersized smallmouth, fishing live shad right on the bottom. We missed at least 6 or 7 good runs. The winds of the last few days have made it tough to get on the fish and then to have it shift and come out of the north made it even tougher today. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide April 28, 2001 - Shawnee State Lake - (4/28) Crappie are starting to come up to the bank (far and few between). Caught a couple crappie right after sun down on minnows and caught a 5lb channel cat on chicken liver about three hours after sun down. Ryan Apr 30, 2001 - Marion County Lake - Father-in-law came to visit, and wanted to fish. I went out Saturday morning to prefish some spots before he came in on Sunday. Found many fish up shallow, lots of crappie(mostly blacks) and channel, caught three small walleye, and one bass. Sunday we started at 8a.m. and we into crappie with in the
first hour. Caught them on shiners up shallow and out to about
6 feet deep over 8 feet of water. Wind picked up early that day.
We only moved the boat three times, and were on fish in all three
spots. Fish were in and out alot. Had to wait 30 minutes without
a bite a couple times, the we would double and triple. Crappie
came mostly from about 6 feet, walleye were caught about 8 feet
down in 10 feet of water. Fish sort of shut off after about 11:00
am. Fish till about 4pm, then went mushroom hunting. Bart

right in the down timber and along rock piles. Most bites came

quit and get some sleep. Good time of year to night fish, a little
cool but not Apr 26, 2001 - Cheney - Fished from 10am till 7pm wednesday, fished the Island, saw several limits of keeper walleyes, I bagged my 5, from 18 to 22 inches. Worms and minnows worked just fine. Was wishing for a breeze and didnt get one. Used the Trolling motor on slow, worked around 4 to 8 foot levels and did just fine. Today, couldnt get a bite from a keeper Walleye. Hope you all had a good day! And.... If anyone knows where to find the Stripers and Wipers in Cheney this time of year, PLease let us know!!! SEE YA ON THE WATER>>> MIKE Apr 26, 2001 - Wilson - Fished the upper end of wilson this afternoon and caught 12 stripers up to 11 lbs. fishing shad on ballons and downrods.

I caught four catfish weighing over 20 pounds combined. The largest was 7 pounds. I caught these on dead perch. These fish were very aggresive, no nibbiling just slamming the bait. Apr 19, 2001 - Hillsdale - Water dingy, crappie scattered and NOT biting this morning. ni , nor, jigs or minnows several boats but no one fisherman caught more than two small crappies. Apr 19, 2001 - Crawford State Lake - 4/18/01 Just got in from night fishing at the lake. I used fresh cut shad to entice some channel with no luck. However the crappie action was very good from about 8:30 pm to 10:30pm. Probably caught and released around 30 crappie, all on live bait. Some times they were so hot they would hit just after my minnow hit the water. I think I will have to try more of this nighttime crappie action. Thanks, Matt. Apr 18, 2001 - Brown Co. State Lake - April 14. Caught 15 bass up to 13 1/2 inches in shallows with mepps spinners. Good action in spots. Fishing was best in shallow water and fishing slowed in deeper water near the dam.

We were fishing the river chanel breaks from 38 to 30 feet. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide Apr 16, 2001 - Wilson - Hey gang, Well I guess the fishing is starting to pick up at Wilson, we caught 23 stripers and 6 whites. All were caught on shad west of Minooka boat ramp on the edge of river channel and along the steep rock bluffs. Stripers were from 1-12Lb,1-11,1-8, and the smallest was 22" long. This was on April 14, 2001, we fished from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (4 of us). Good luck and keep your line wet! Roy Posey Apr 16, 2001 - Marion County Lake - Fished on Sunday afternoon. Took my future wife out on the windy water. Started slow. As the wind changed we started to pick up a few small bass. To get out of the wind we worked that flats with large shiners. She caught her first walleye, minutes later she had her second. I had one get off at the boat. We moved into more shallow water along a wind-blown bank and hooked 5 channel and one flathead all over 4 lbs in the next 30 minutes. Caught a few crappie here and there. She hooked a little smallmouth as we were leaving. She had quite the mixed bag. Good day on the water considering the conditions. Water is stained and pretty cold. Wind limited places to fish. Apr 16, 2001 - Hillsdale - April
14, Water stained in coves, muddy in river. 3 fish @ 12 lbs won
it all. Tough day. We finished 6th with 1 fish weighing a little
over 4 lbs. Fish caught on lizards, spinnerbaits, jigs, & Apr 15, 2001 - Crawford State Fishing Park- Crappie are here. The bite is slow, but a limit can be reached by fishing around spawning beds. The crappie are mostly suspending in deep water outside of spawning beds and moving shallower occasionally. Live minnows works best. Bone Creek Lake- Crappie are bitting, however slower than flarlington, again live bait works best. Blue Gill are aggressively attacking worms. Mined Wildlife Area- have
been having good sucess with small largemouths, most are just
under or in the slot limit. Plastic worm worked very slow makes
good presentation. Average size 12 inches. Don't worry the bigger
ones will come!! Apr 15, 2001 - Kingman State Lake -April 15th fished Kingman State Lake, no bites. Drove to Cheney. Fished east end of dam, lots of people. Very few fish were caught by anyone I could see. Water was very murky. Apr 15, 2001 - Cheney -Today was tough. The weather was absolutely beautiful, and the water plenty murky. Started at 12:30 fished upper river, used grubs, no bites. Tried Night Crawlers, No bites. Tried Dip bait, NO bites. Water was high, lots of trash coming down the channel. Went to Wichita point, fished same baits, a few bites, no fish. Went to the face of the Dam, nightcrawlers yielded several small white bass, apporx 4 to 8 foot deep. Used all the worms, got tired, went home. Didn't catch a keeper fish all day. Hope you boat fishermen had better success! Take Care. MIKE Apr 14, 2001 - Harvey County East - Fished the 13th & 14th, nothing caught except my wife caught a 71/2 lb channel cat. Geo. Rauh Apr 14, 2001 - Fall River - Fall River near the Ladd Bridge. Crappie from .5-1.75 Pounds. Fair to slow fishing working 1/32nd and 1/8th oz. jigs in thick brush from 4-6 feet deep. 10 keepers in a 1.5 day fishing trip. Thanks. Jerrod Apr 14, 2001 - Wilson - Fished this morning caught 4 stripers up to 5 lbs. and one barely legal walleye in the Otoe park area of Wilson. Hell creek area has gotten allot of pressure this last week from bank fisherman and boats but I haven't heard many reports of fish being caught. The bank fisherman are starting to show up in the Minooka area, the last few years there were some nice stripers caught fishing there. The main lake water temp. is 53 degree as soon as the temp climbs a couple of more degrees things should really bust loose. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide Apr 13, 2001 - Council Grove City Lake - The crappie are in the coves just before dark hitting chartreuse jigs. Also white bass and a few walleye. Apr 13, 2001 - Rocky Ford Area -

of us caught 40 plus white bass all over 2 lbs most pushing 4
lbs. Using any small spinning jig in the few deep holes of John
Apr 10, 2001 - Pomona -The
White Bass are also starting to go at Pomona Res. Apr 8, 2001 - Wilson - We fished Lake Wilson Apr 7 all day only to catch 3 stripers up to 4 lbs. We had one other bite that we missed. Two of these were caught in the Lucas park area and one in Hell creek balloning shad. The front that had moved thru the day before had certainly shut the fishing down. I did hear of a 16 lber caught the evening of the 6th and saw 2 stripers caught by wade fisherman in Hell creek one of the stripers I would guess at about 7 lbs. Jack Hoskinson Madd Jack Striper Guide Apr 4, 2001 - Yates Center Lake (new) - 4/3/01 Largemouth good 12-17 inches.... Water Temp. 55 main lake..... Upper end of lake and creek as high as 63 degrees....Bait of choice is Zoom watermelon Brushhog.........

Apr 2, 2001 - Melvern - Went
to Melvern and caught 47 whites on sat and 21 on Apr 2, 2001 - Marion Reservoir -
Went fishing on March 27 & 30 at the dam for Walleye
with no success. I fished till about 9:30pm each night and nothing.
They are there, you can hear them splashing but no bites. Friday
night, the 30th, there was about 20 people fishing and I didn't
hear of one catch. I guess I will keep on Apr 1, 2001 - Wilson - Fished the Wilson Hell creek area friday evening and caught 7 stripers up to 5 lbs. Missed at least that many more balloning shad in this area. Saturday afternoon and evening fished the same area only to catch one small bass. We had several good runs but just couldn't put a hook in them! The Walleye fisherman are starting to show up on the dam at Wilson, I haven't heard any good reports but there were several there after dark on Friday night. Good Luck!

Meade State Fishing Lake - The
wife and I fish Meade State Fishing Lake on the weekend of June
16 and 17. Each day we caught about 40 large mouth bass, most
of these were around 14 to 15 inchs. Also caught channel cats

Wilson - Fished wilson the evening
of the 13th and caught 9 stripers up to 9 lbs, the largest was
caught by the youngest in the boat, an 11 year old young lady
visiting here from Hawaii. June 14 fished again this evening
and caught 7 stripers up to 9 lbs. Fishing the Lucas park area
with live shad in 44 feet of water. I saw my first school on
stripers on top today they were small fish maybe 3 lbs. but at
least maybe this is the beginning of the surfacing action. With
the rains lately the lake level is up but is being lowered, water
temp. is 71 degrees. Good Luck.

3, 2001 - Wilson - June 2 the
fishing was great catching Eleven stripers up to 11 lbs and we
had two BIG FISH on and lost them both. Fishing the Lucas area
with live shad in 44 feet of water. June 3 with an incoming cool
front and high winds the fish shut down and we only ended up
with 2 stripers up to 5 lbs. That's the Kansas weather for you.
Good Luck!

14, 2001 - McPherson County Lake - My
sister, Sandy, and her husband, Jim, and I went fishing at McPherson
County Lake on May 6th, 2001. We had caught 3- 16" channels
in about 3 hours and I decided to move down the bank a little
and try turkey liver on a treble hook and I hooked into this
20 pound channel a short time later. This is the biggest fish
I have ever caught and the biggest fish I have seen come out
of this lake.
