I will step in and let everyone know with heavy heart Randy aka RRR has lost his battle and is getting ready to chase pre spawn walleyes in heaven. Rest easy Rat and keep that back channel navigable for us at the H dock! RIP
Get the Kozmo Q cow cover rub and their SPG and put it on the grill at 250 degrees until to temp. Expect a TON of loss on the bone after the fat cooks out but man are they worth it. Kozmo Q has a youtube page I highly recommend looking them up
The beakline on the north end out in front of Hidden Haven Resort an north towards the weedline always holds a few eyes. Also to the southeast of that resort is a sunken island not marked on most maps but visible via satellite. Also like stated around the island hold eyes year around. This late in the years I would work 20-25 feet of water just off cabbage weed edges.
just some days with straight sun can do a lot…the water is stained now so that alone with absorb enough heat to do some damage. With lows dipping in the low teens though sure as hell is not speeding anything up for us.
Run it carefully I ran my waypoints this weekend I ran dozens of times all last summer and hit going downstream in a spot I never would have thought yesterday. It was a stretch that was 1.4-1.9 feet deep the entire way through it
Sunday was an awesome bite for us as well all down river. We pitched hair jigs, plastics, and cranks all produced well for walleyes on rocks. Also trolling shallow clam beds still was the ticket for high numbers of eater size as well. The average size of the fish we had was unreal as for as how loaded they were with bait!
It all depends on what size flicker shad you are running. If it is a small #4 or #5 on a thicker diameter line that will happen. A #7 Flicker shad even on 20lb. braid should be no more then 80 feet back
I was up last month as well one day and it was a cool morning so I did not put on my new stickers but had them in the boat. I meet him and held them up and motored to him explaining I was going in to put them on since it warmed up. They also checked the horn for me as well but did explain use a heat gun next time and warm the stickers up vs. just having them in the boat. he gave a verbal warning but next time I plan to plan ahead a little better. As the spring run starts and boat traffic increases do not expect them to be quite as patient with this.
I went to 100 yds yesterday and it was dead on first shot in the ring and just above it 2nd shot. Plan to leave it as is for now and after gun season I will try different rounds before muzzleloader if needed.
