    Nice fish klinco! Welcome to the site! For your info guys I can tell you he was on pool 14. Did you happen on any hump-backed walleyes? I have pulled 3 off the clam bed in the last two trips, one about 18″ long even with the BIG crook in the back.

    John, I caught a big sauger the other day with a double hump. It was the most messed up fish I have ever seen. It bite hard , then when it was trying to fight it couldn’t hardly pull. I don’t know what is causing this ,but I have noticed it in several walleys this year.

    We caught most fish jigging.And it was pool 14 and 15.Went yesterday on 14 and the bite was alot slower.Probably due to the cold front.We did manage 8 all day with a 22 and a 24.Water temp is only 73.A little cool for this time of year.

    Headed to pool 14 tomoro. just wondered if there were any certain depths to be concentrating on. planning on hitting the wing dams with 3 ways. Anyone hav’n any luck using cranks. Those are some quality fish.

    We were there yesterday and the bite really slowed down.Here is the best one from yesterday.Most fish are shallow,as in 3-10 ft.Seems like the crankbait bite has died.
