The last couple of days I have been on the St. Croix catching cookie cutter 17″ walleyes. I wanted to head down to Pool 2 on Saturday to catch a hawg.
I have limited experience on this stretch of river, but I’m starting to really love it. Everytime I go, I always set a new personal best. Today proved to hold true to that as well.
Today we were pitching B Fish N Tackle Precision jig heads, and their Ringworms, and K tail grubs. 1/4 oz and 3/16 oz jigheads did the trick for us today. We worked a few wingdams, with not much coming from them today, so we started working the shoreling structure. We managed to pull in 5 nice walleyes today, working a hump just out from a backwater inlet. The fish ranged from 20″ to 29 1/2″. My dad set his new personal best again, in back to back trips down to Pool 2, with a really fat 29 1/2″ 12.25 lb hawg. He really loves Pool 2 now, and I see why.
