I hit the Alder street fill for some Walleye fishing on Moses lake with my good friend Dan Hiatt. There was a strange absence of fellow fisherman from the day before. There were no more than a half a dozen fishermen fishing for walleye on the fill today (at least while I was there.) Dan caught the very first walleye of his life. He was tosssing a smoke salt and pepper 5" Kalins grub on a darter head. An older fella caught a fish about 6 lbs right next to him, which I netted for the smiling ol' codger. A guy named Shawn caught a fish too. I missed one fish, which I fought briefly, but lost it. It was the only hit I had during 2 hrs of fishing. I made up for that later at another secret lake, where I caught 4 decent keeper walleye on a guacamole 5" Kalin's grub. A good friend told me about hitting some good wally's over the last week , so Dan and I fished the spot after dark, at about 10 p.m. That place was really stacked with 17" to 20" spawning males. Getting the fish to bite was the easy part-landing them in the dark proved much tougher. We left at about 11p.m with 5 W'-Eyes total (I have to get permission from Adam to reveal that spot on this forum.) Pictures to follow soon. The Jigmiester

You know, some secret spots should be left as "secret spots". LOL

Way to go Jigmiester, catching walleye in the dark is an adventure. Thanks for the report, and I agree with AA when he says "some secret spots should be left as "secret spots". Not that I wouldn't love to cast a jig in those waters, but your statement of, "That place was really stacked with 17" to 20" spawning males" , makes me think this secret place has a potential to be "Overfished" at a critical time (Spawning). Please don't get me wrong, I believe in sharing fishing tips, ideas, and techniques, but I'm also cautious about potentially sensitive fishing areas. Remember that this is only my perception, and not a cause on my part. Thanks again on posting a good report, and good luck on your fishing adventures.

i fished the spillway by the dunes for about an hour but did not even ge a bite and one other fish was caught but i couldnt get a look at it. i used a 1/4 ounce jighead on a gulp minnow in chartruse and could not get it to touch bottom. good job on the W eyes.

Thanks for all the great comments guys. One of the things that I hold dear to me is to be careful to honor the wishes of my brother fishermen and not reveal too much info in regarding hot spots shared in confidence. I think my viewpoint comes from serving in the Army Airborne where your word is the ultimate bond to your brothers in arms. I would never dishonor my commitment to my good friends like Adam, who shared his info with me, nor would I pass on anything any of you were to share with me without your permission. My word is my defining attribute, and I try my best to live by it.. The Jigmiester

I just love reading the reports on this website. I also get a kick out of reading about the "SECRET" fishing spots.
No disrespect meant here, but there is no such thing as a real "secret" fishing spot. I guarantee that you aren't the only one that has fished those spots. The only "secret" about the spot is the fact that you aren't saying where it is on this site.
Congrats on the fishing success and I wish you "good fishing" in the future.
