    trolling bite is is going pretty strong , sat we caught alot of fish everywhere we went from clam beds to wingdams rip rap shores, didnt seem to matter there were fish everywhere we went but they all were 14 to 16 inches no big ones. also alot of drum and white bass, monday started off slow a couple 13 to 14 inch sauger and a few drum in the spots we were at sat,so we went above 280 and fished the wing dams on the ia side from the bridge to acrooss from the mouth of the rock , after the small rain around about 1.00pm we had the river to ourselfs and ended up real well with a 23.5 a 26 four 19 inchers with quite afew smaller12 to 15 inch fish coming to the boat. all fish were caught on #5 jointed shad raps in 6 to 11 fow.

    I slayed them today! Oh wait your talking about walleye. I ended up with some of the largest drum I have ever caught today. The biggest being 10.8lbs, but to make that one even better I had one on the other rod at the same time, it went about three lbs though. Lots of drum today and all big. One 15.5 walleye and one dink sauger is all I could manage. All from the I-280 area on monkey puke wally divers. Hopefully I can make it out in the morning and do a little better on the eyes.
