Not sure whether this belongs under walleye or bass forum, but I guess I’ll put it on both.
I don’t ever remember things,(temps,etc), coming together to put the walleye’s hard move to the wingdams, the sauger spawn, and the heart of the smallmouth run coming all together at the same time but “BROTHER” it has happened. I have to say that it actually hurts to raise my arms right now. At one point I counted over 15 casts without the lure coming back fishless.
Park on any wingdam or shallow rocks that you can get your baits down on and just drag them over the top and wam. wam, wam, wam… Tons of smallies almost all keepers up to just over three pounds,(at least today), many keeper walleye,(15-17 inch), saugers and yes even a bucketmouth here and there(biggest BM was 18 inches).
The story wouldn’t be complete without the set-up. 6’6′ medium spinning rod and reel, 6lb Stren Hi-Vis, and crayfish brown Mizmo Tube(salted and garlicy ofcourse), on 1/8th oz.Taylor Tackle current cutter tube jighead. Walleye seemed to love them as much as the bass. You could sure tell when the juice was running out though. Just light pickups and drops when the taste was gone. Put a new one on and wam…right back to the action.
Want to apologize to the guys with the Ranger…if you don’t want to get schooled don’t stick your head so far into the classroom. Sorry guys I had to rub it in a little.
I know you guys read this forum and the way my tourney season has been going so far I need as much brain edge,(psych), as I can get. See you guys in a couple of weeks at the BWS.
