[#0000FF]S'prise! I got in a boat again...with Utwalleye. Met Boatloadakids at the ramp before we headed out at about 6:30. He went after cats. We went around the bend to try for some walleyes.
Air temp 60 and water temp 67 at launch. Nice. No wind. Just a nice little "walleye ripple" at times. But not many walleye. The "usual suspects" were lined up out along the edge of the rock shelves but they seemed to move around a bit...as if not finding much action.
Chuck and I threw all kinds of plastics and cranks from shallow (4') to deep (7.5'). Lots of "rattlers" (baby white bass) and we even hooked a few. Also caught a couple of mudders (bullhead cats). But only one actual walleye hooked and netted. And I caught it. Yee haw. 24" and 5 pounds.
We caught the only walleye about 9 am. Stuck it out and washed a lot of lures until about 1. Finally admitted it was still a bit early for the best fall walleye action. But a nice day with good company. Thanks for the boat ride Chuck.
