    Made it out with a friend to do alittle scouting, some underwater camera viewing and fishing, shad are so thick down by the Y you can hardly get through them, seems to be more and more walleyes showing up but not very aggressive, saugers on the other hand crazy, tossed back 5 tonight that were over 16″ fat females, caught 10 decent ones highlite of the afternoon paddle fish on 3lb line hooked it in the mouth must of stuck the jig in there while it had its mouth open filtering plankton great fight!

    4lb fireline crystal is what I normally run on all my rods except for this time of the year, right now I’m running 3lb and on my main jig rod 2 lb crystal
