We've been lindy rigging deeper structure (25-30 feet) with 1/2 oz sinker, 4-5 foot leader, plain hook with maybe a colored bead, using leeches and crawlers. Not getting a ton of fish, but the ones that bite just clobber it. 27 1/2, 26 1/2 and a 22 last time out. What's working good for you right now?

I'm still fishing in the cabbage with gulp still or right on the edge of the cabbage you get alot of sunnies rock bass and then wam a walleye. I might have to start looking deeper though i've been fishing around 14 to 16 feet.

I've been on a dynamite shallow (1'-4') bite for the past month, slowed down as of late, but I think it's just the calm before the storm....

Fishing shallow cover and riggin' mid-lake structure.

Been a while since I was after walleyes, but am going next week and it will be 100% crankbaits and planer boards. Getting to be a really good time of year for that bite on lots of lakes.

I've been fishing a lot with my kid who just turned 5 years old, and right now he mostly wants to cast. And cast and cast and cast. We've been doing a lot of fishing around the metro for things like bass and panfish and pike ..... and every so often I get the muskie gear out too But next week we're going trolling for walleyes

Keep him on the right path PJ.

walleye is the right path

We're going to Tonka today, he wants to throw spinnerbaits, rattle baits and scum frogs

doh!!

For punishment you better get him on a rod with a Deep Diver Reef Runner on the end trolling about 2.5mph and tell him to hold on.....no rod holder for you!

I've got over 100 Reef Runners and he's got all the colors and names memorized, so I'm gonna cut him a little slack for now and hope he grows out of this casting phase

ive been gettin em on the edge of weeds in 12' of water 1 hour before sunset on a jig tipped with a leech

Out of the casting phase? I'm crying already.

Problem is he likes casting bass baits. So we spend a lot of time fishing in bass spots. I even did some texas-rigging with a tube jig for a while today

It wasn't all bad though --- we had a ton of action from bass and pike and panfish, and my kid even caught an 18" walleye on a rattle trap today.

Is that kind of like when some little boys go through a phase where they play with dolls until they figure out GI Joe is what they are supposed to play with?

The word of the day is Spinners! They're going on the spinner/crawler rigs now.
