Milford Newby looking for any advice

[steveinsene]

Heading to Milford for the first time tomorrow or the next for 2 days. Never fished it and going blind. Used to fishing smaller community lakes in Northeast Kansas (live 3 miles from Kansas) pretty much a large reservoir rookie and thought we would drag some jigs and crawlers and troll some cranks. Any tips or advice would be great! Mostly gonna try for walleyes but thought we'd try for some smallmouths and whites and wipers as well. Edit Post Reply Reply With Quote

When fishing for large wipers I like to use large baits, if i'm targeting wipers I will troll with a 1 oz jig head and 6" paddle tail swim baits(sassy shads), Also done real good using rattletraps while trolling for whites and wipers, as far as walleye go I have gone out quite a few times trying to target them and have yet managed to catch an incidental one while fishing for something else so I don't have any advice for them. Smallmouth can be good fishing along the rocky bank over by Rebecca Road, and there along the NW edge of the city of Milford.

my grandson 13 years old hung a 25" walleye to go with 2 20" and a 22" walleye he said he was happy happy happy. I have owned most all models of skeeters. I am running my second 1775 with the 8 horse kicker it handles big water great. Most of all its easy to control and fits my style of fishing perfect. check out my facebook to see a picture of him with his fish , Nick Self
