Glad you found some fish...of all species. Would have been nice to cap it with a 30 inch walleye. Not many, but they are in there. Just too many food items for them to be desperate enough to chase down what fisherfolk throw at them. And if they feed only for 15 minutes, during any given 24 hour period, that really brings in the luck and timing factors.
Ya I know there in there, nothing over 24 this trip, there seems to be plenty of perch for them to eat, there's a lot of dink eyes to weed through to find better ones, keeps it interesting tho, Ill keep after either Starvy or UL, would prefer a pre spawn but any 30+ would be great, I'll defiantly keep after it when ever I can.
The fall cooldown usually brings in a few of the bigguns some years. September and October can be great...for all species. And working big swim baits at night on weedy flats has produced some of those big hawgs. Haven't done it myself but I know at least one guy who watches for the DWR trout plant (usually late September) and then throws big trout pattern jointed Rapalas or Castaic Rainbows. But that process often produces more exercise than fish. And it does keep the "seegars" away.
But it's kinda like the guy who was selling pencils for $100 apiece. His buddy laughed at him and told him he wasn't going to sell many at that price. To which the pencil seller replied "I don't have to sell MANY"
The bad part for me is there like potato chips. I always want more and it dont bother me to put the time in to get more, theres been a lot of times I have felt like Im still on the boat when I crawl into bed.
