Fishing has been pretty decent on the croix the last 3 weekends for walleyes. Had a strange bite yesterday. Fished from 6:15 to 1:15 by the kinni narrows. Caught 10 walleyes. 5 shorts and 5 legals, one 19″ and a fat 23″ fish. The weird part is in the first hour I caught 4 walleyes with one being the 19″ fish. Then for the next 3 hours all I caught were shorts and fishing slowed way down. I kept fishing and about 11:30 or so fishing picked up again. Caught a 16.5 fish and ran out of leeches missing a few more fish. I tried fatheads after running out of leeches and caught the 23″ fish. The bite seemed to slow down again after that. Anybody else notice that fish bite odd like that in the middle of the day when fishing the St. Croix, rather than just a steady bite all morning. Also, wondering if a larger bait might produce some of the bigger fish? The 23″ fish spit out a 4″ shad. Maybe trying some shiners or a jumbo leech might turn some bigger fish?
