Whitefish

Has anyone been having any luck chasing eyes on the chain? What depth are you finding them at? We’re bumping into a couple, but it’s been slow.

I was told to, “Troll as deep as possible.” Whatever that is worth, he was fishing Trout.
I was also told to, “Get to my spot at 8:30, catch two walleyes, then head in.”

I will be up there next weekend. If I can avoid being hit by a jetskier and manage to put one in the boat I will report back.

We caught a couple at dusk/night on a few nights over the fourth of July. We were fishing weed edges in about 16fow.

I was on Cross and Rush a few days last week chasing bass and couldn’t keep the 12-15″ eyes off the dropshot. Fishing the weed lines and weedy sunken islands.

Yes, how annoying to have all those “nuisance” walleyes when when your just trying to catch a bass.

Glad we can agree Andy!

Might be a problem I would like to have Dropshotting isn’t really part of my skill set but looking for new twists when fishing Gull.

Strike King 3x Elaztech Finesse worm, in Watermelon (during clouds)and Watermelon Red Flake (during sun)

With about a 3 foot drop leader.

Whenever I dropped my UW camera down, there were fish suspended everywhere from just above the weeds to about 6 feet up.

Were you catching them all day or just during prime times?

Surprisingly most were during mid-day. They seemed to be traveling in large schools and if you stayed on a spot you’d go 20-30 minutes between flurries. But when they came in they were not shy. I bounced around to a dozen or so spots between the two lakes and it was mostly the same.
