Hello,
Put in below Guttenburg this am tried throwing some cranks and jigs along the RIP rap rock hoping for some action and possibly a walleye supper.
Tossed plastic minnow bodies with 1/4 and 3/8 lead heads,
Tossed chrome and perch colored rattle traps
Tossed silver black then perch colored cranks diving to 5 maybe 6 feet depth.
Nothing.
Fish were feeding on surface, seen several times where bait fish were jumping up out of water, with the top water showing action we tried staying somewhat shallow with our presentations.
In motoring between areas we noticed if we had suspended fish, they were always at 15 to 17 feet suspended.
How would you recommend targeting these fish that are suspended?
Jigs, cranks, minnows on slip bobbers, trolling ?
Throw out anchor and throw cranks ?
Not sure what they even were, they were in main channel about 50 yards off shore, enough current to make it very difficult for a novice like myself to stay put to target them.
This river thing on one hand is great, lots of areas to try, lots of different fish to target, beutifull scenery, but on the other hand it is frustrating and also daunting at times trying to actually catch something.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
