Was able to sneak out last night post work and hit the local lake to pull some cranks. It seems most people must have gotten their boating fill as I had the lake pretty much to myself all evening. Unlike the last trip, it took a little while to find fish, which can be typical for this lake due to the roaming nature of fishing flats. On the night 11 walleyes were caught ranging from 13 to 22 inches. #5 firetiger shad rap was the clear winner and for the first night in a long time the flicker shad was a dud–much like the Menomonie firework display(lasted 15 minutes). Fish were found in 12-13FOW and trolling speed as 2.5mph with 120 feet of 4lb diameter spiderwire stealth. As the evening progressed, the #7 rap in clown was the hot crank (80 ft). Once again, I forgot the camera and livebait, so no spinner rigs, but based on the success of last use, I will be trying them again.
See you on the lake,
Doc
