I fished all over the lake for most of today. I tried everything. I caught some walleyes, but nothing worth mentioning. I pitched jigs and crankbaits along points which yielded just a few small eyes and perch. I also trolled cranks on both leadcore and mono. I couldn't keep the stupid trout off. Some of them were actually pretty big and engulfed the #5 shad raps I was using
I also got into some decent smallies, probably a dozen 14"-16".
I only talked to one boat at the ramp who had any luck on the eyes. Most of the others just caught trout. The lake was like glass and the water clear. I could see bottom down to 7-9 ft. I suspect the eyes would bite pretty decent early in the am and toward evening. I couldnt stay that long. [frown]
