    Getting any big walleyes off those spots? From the boat they both look like big fish spots for this time of year.

    10-12′ deep in front of the culvert by water gate with rocks scattered in the area.

    Very deep off the channel side of Raspberry Island. Think it drops right down to 20 and then gets deeper. The stairs on the down river side of the island have a nice bar sticking out towards the bridge. Sure looks like a nice feeding shelf to me.

    Yeah decent size walleyes 16- 22 a few smaller smallmouths looking for the monster, thanks for the depth info its very helpful ive fished those two spots this past season not knowing how deep it really is mostly relying on my crankbaits to get a idea of how deep it is, just last week i was fishing off the boat clubs pier there using a beetle spinner tipped with a powerbait leech i have to say those are amayzing in the first 20 min 3 walleye 2 in the 24 inch range and a smaller one and a few smallies nothing to be proud of but i love catching them when i do which isnt a whole lot, besides powerbait its the moxies which catch me alot of crappies recently actually some nice one, but i was there this morning till about 230 and not one damn bite! But earlier this spring i was getting some nice eyes at the culvert when the water was high which makes that spot a real nice shore fishing spot, most of the other anglers there are there for carp and cats when they seen me pull out walleyes they were amazed!

    Sure cant complain about a couple of 24″ walleyes. Right now most of my walleyes are keying in on any type of rock. Low light pitching plastics. Give a spot a few minutes and move on. Sometimes its just a matter of being there when they move up to feed and then they are gone again.

    Think if I was shore fishing I would set up a milk run of spots just like fishing from the boat. Go hit them real kick and unless they keep loading up with fish move on. Maybe come back later and hit them again.

    They come up shallow this time of year to feed.
