In a couple weeks that rig will be OK, but until opener that float might get you a ticket. No sucker guys I know that put a float on their rig.

Good to know! I’m honestly just hoping for whatever, never actually tried for suckers before. I kept the crawler/hook pretty small but floating it does seem walleye-ish, I just wanted less snags.

I haven’t had any luck, but saw that others pulled in some smallmouth and pike recently in the area.

I’ve been trying a simple 3 way rig. A 1oz weight + 12″ leader + floater + hook/crawler.

I’m Not sure where I should be throwing it in the river to be honest, deep, shallow, etc but I’ll let you know if I start catching something.
