Rock Island State Park and Walleye
 

Heading to Rock Island this Friday. Shocking for Walleye was done last week. So I hope fishing is good. After they shock the Walleye get lock jaw for a few days. Called and found out the park ramp is ok to launch. Anyone been there lately?

You may have different results but I fish it at least 2 times a week. Haven't had much luck in a week or so. It was HOT a while back. Bite has really slowed. They are actually shocking today as eell.

Daniel. You aint no fun. Have you heard results from the shocking? I heard they had about 100 fish taken from within 100 yard of park boat ramp. Unfortunately I did not get to fish the Jan and Feb Walleye. I was heartbroken. I know they did well.
thanks,
Chub

I have not heard anything about the shocking. The water is still pretty high. This is the first year I have fished it with the lake level that high. So you may have better luck than me. And yes it was a very very good February.

I would imagine the water is also moving good. Great falls is spilling and generating. And so is center hill

Great falls is spilling but it's only one gate. Not bad current at all

If you see a little green flattbottom with a blue and white motor holler at me I may be down there as well. Not 100 percent sure

I will be there around 9 or 10. Got to make a stop before. I have a fully camo boat and seats. 17 ' Sea Nymph with 60 HP Johnson (also camo). Shout at me and see how we are doing. Which launch are you going out of? Park or County?

If I go down there I'll probably launch at warren county. Don't care for the park ramp myself

Got a buddy down there now. Depending on how he does will make my decision.

Hey daniel. I fish most of Friday for Walleye. Water appeared to be down a foot or so. I heard of no one catching Walleye. Was bad. So I went looking for something else. Managed catching 11 keeper crappie. All barely over 10 inches but legal and ate good. Basically fished the tree downs with minnows. Jigs were a no bust. Now with cold, snow, and more rain it don't look good. I don't know if I saw you or not. Were you fishing?

I went up above great falls caught 14 crappie and some bass.
