Nice Catch



Fished with Daryl. Temperature was in in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 70s. The wind was light out of the South/Southwest 5 knots with waves less than a foot. The water is starting to clear up again but now the female cottonwood trees are starting to drop their seeds. Time to put the beads back on the main lines.

Started fishing where we left off yesterday and we kind of hung in that general area. 41 49 400 / 083 18 120. We trolled with spoons set at 65 feet back for the first hour and we caught 5 walleye. The bite was kind of slow so we went to the crawlers for the rest of the trip. We ran the crawler rigs back 75 feet using 2 ounce bottom bouncers and slowed the troll to 1.5 MPH. Caught the remaining fish this way. The purple harness was by far the most productive. We had one walleye that was 14.5 inches that we put back. Kept 12 walleye between 18 and 20 inches.

Next Planned Trip: Tuesday, June 17, for the 8th Annual A.W.W.T. 8:00 a.m. Start Time
