Jerry Mills from walleye league was nice enough to take me out on the water this morning. We started up by the 106 bridge around 8:00, in our first 2 drifts we boxed 3 legals, about an hour later we boxed 1 more and then it dried up. At around 9:30 we headed down to the VFW, we boxed 1 in our 1st drift, and proceeded to make 2 more drifts with nothing. At around 10:30 we jetted over to the stink pipe. On our first drift I slammed a dandy female in the 23-24″ range and on the very next drift I got one just a hair smaller in the 21-22″ range “both released”. We did get one about 17″ a few drifts later as well. At around 11:45 we headed down to Blackhawk. We had 6 in the box when we got down there and in 3 drifts at around 1:00pm we had 4 more and left with our 2 man limit. All the fish I caught were caught on 3/8oz Blue/White/Glow Oddball jigs with blue/white paddle tails. Jerry caught most of his fish on 3/8oz Northland blue/white/glow gum balls tipped with a magnum fathead. We ended with 8 saugers and 2 walleyes in the box. Mixed in with the saugers and walleyes were lot’s of sheepshead and catfish, and 1 whitebass. In all in was a great day on the ROCK.
