Milford Fishing Report June 17 & 18
Fished Milford for the first time monday and Tuesday afternoon. Made the 135 mile trip early Monday afternoon and after some late lunch and a quick unsucessfull fishing intel stop at 77 bait shop we launched from the Farnum Creek ramp. Primarily after walleye we fished the farnum creek area and out to the mainlake and various other spots and could only find small wipers catfish and drum that first afternoon. Spent the night at Howard Johnsons in Junction City which was very nice.
Slept in and had a late breakfast and hit the lake around 12:30. After getting some great advice here and at clems baitshop we had a much better second day. Took us a while and multiple locations but we ended up back inside Farnum Creek and finished the day with around 15 two to four pound wipers, and 7 walleyes between the girlfriend and I. My girlfriend who is very new to fishing (but catching on amazingly fast) did not catch any keeper walleyes but was excited beyond belief to catch 2 of them both around 17 inches. She caught about 5 wipers and loved fighting the wipers and handled them like a pro on medium light spinning gear with mono line. She had never boated a wiper but had previously had several get off before hitting the boat lol. I had 3 keeper walleye of 24, 21, & 19 inches and one under. Not the numbers of walleye I was hoping for but quality was good and we had an absolute blast. Pulled cranks, spinners and slow death rigs on bouncers but all of our good fish came drifting and verticle jigging jigs and crawlers and the my girlfriend did good on jigs with leeches.
