    While IDO was down, we have been boating fish on a variety of artificial lures including trolling Shad Raps and Tail Dancers along with casting Jigs-and-ringworm combos, paddletail plastics, suspending minnow baits and Rippin’ Raps. If you like mixing in artificals with your live bait, now is the time to take your arti’s for a swim.

    Lures work great for covering water and locating active fish. With water back up in the 70 degree range Walleyes can be triggered into striking plastics and hard lures alike. Change up the profile, action and color of your artificials until you dial in on what works best.

    I’m not suggesting you leave your live bait behind but artificial lures can be an effective and fun way to catch Walleyes on Leech.

    This site looks great…a bit of a learning curve here for posting. Here are some more pics from the past few weeks. Big fish with scar is posted twice.

    It looks like you’ve got the photo upload part of the deal figured out just fine. You’re on some nice fish!

    Nice report. I’m looking to get that way soon. Looks like like the bite is on!
