    Just wondering if any of you have been out on Leech lately? Walleyes or Slimers. Thanks

    Was on Leech all of last week. Did well in the “magic hour” before twilight pulling cranks in 8 to 10 feet. Walleyes wanted it at a pretty good pace, around 2.2 to 2.5 mph. Colors didn’t seem to matter for us. Bottom was a lot of sand with sparadic boulders mixed in. Hope that helps.

    I was out last weekend and it was pretty poor. Caught one walleye and a slew of rockies. I pulled crawlers and spinners in 16-26ft.

    Bill,

    Have you tried pulling #5 shad raps in the evening, late evening around the Big rock reef area? We always did really good this time of year in that spot with the rapallas. I am up on Big Hardwood, so I have been spending most of my time up there and down around West goose. Things are starting to pop in that area trolling at night.

    I may try it now. That area is about 5 miles away from me. I do out at night all the time. I have found that the bite picks up in August and ends around the middle of Sept. I like to pull bigger minnow baits over shallow boulders. Anything perch color does the trick. During the day I may try dragging some redtails in the depths. I’ll be up there this weekend. You may get a visitor tailpipeing you on the rock reef . I have a blue ranger 692 with a 175 merc EFI
