I woke up this morning wanting to do a little fall walleye fishing but it was a wee bit cold when I left.
I have been reading a lot of the articles on 3-way rigging and also trolling jigs. I started out this morning with a 3-way rig, but nothing was producing so I went to trolling a jig. I was using a 1/16th oz jig tipped with a minnow over some small humps. I felt a slight tap and set the hook. Nothing real heavy but reeled it in and had a crappie. I spent the rest of the morning fishing for crappie which was a blast. In the couple of hours I was out, I caught well over 80 crappie. Here is one of the doubles I had. I did take a few home for supper later this week. My son has been asking for some crunchy fish.
Last Christmas my wife bought me a Lowrance X67c and I loved it. I am just now getting used to all of the features it has. I haven’t got a new transducer for it yet. I used my ice ducer and it works just fine on soft water.
It was a great fall morning to fish. Hopefully we will have the hard stuff around here in a couple of weeks.
Hope you all enjoy.
