Did the eyes come from the deeper water you fished?First one came from 21 feet of water...straight out from the feed lot towers. Also had a couple of crawler strippers and another hit or two on the white Gulp setup. Some inexperienced (or too experienced) fish out there. Also saw more marks out there than anywhere else.
The second (smalleye) came right on the edge of the channel...on the south side...as I was moving back out to do more fishing. Depth showed as about 16' on sonar. But didn't see much or catch anything else other than one catfish from 20 feet of water.
In past years, I have caught quite a few walleyes fairly close to the rocks during June...in water 12 - 15 feet deep. They are in major feed mode after spawning and when water temps reach 70...but before they get much over about 75. By the time water temps hit 80 the wallies stay deep during the day and feed more at night.
