Thank you Tom for the reply and suggestion. You were correct. They are on a timer.

Fishing was tough. Mostly smaller fish. I’ve never marked so many fish on my electronics that didn’t want to bite. We caught fish doing a little bit of everything… Rigging and bobbers were the best. Leadcore produced nothing. We caught more than enough for a fish-fry so not all was lost.

I fished on Sunday from 1-8pm. Was hot right away with a few quick ones on the deep edge of the mud. Big one was 25.5′. Quickly slowed and had trouble finding fish in the evening.

I take it you were in 30 feet at the bottom edge of the flats?

Was up there last weekend and put at least 75 <strong class=”ido-tag-strong”>walleyes in the boat between Saturday and Sunday morning between 2 guys. It wasn’t like we completely killed them like the past month, but we caught more than enough to keep us interested. There was some sort of lake bug that hatched over the weekend and they were all over the lake… so that I am sure didn’t help the bite. We used bottom bouncers with 2 oz weights and Mustad Slow Death hooks with a crawler or a gulp plastic crawler at about 1.5 mph. Both worked. The key is the slow death hook. Also, in my opinion, your leader is way way way too long. You only need 4-5 ft at most. I often times even use a 3 ft leader. 10 lb Fluorocarbon leader. Targeted 30 ft for a majority of the weekend.. just be sure to reel the fish up slow in that deeper water.

Rook,

I am shopping a used WX1850. What is the longest rod you can fit into your rod lockers? I am a musky guy and can’t find any info on lengths. Thanks for the help.
