I’ve never really caught walleye in any serious numbers. I expected to see a bunch of wipers showing up on Saturday. But, we ended up catching 16 walleye on flicker shads. I couldn’t believe it.
Biggest walleye was 21". Pretty steady fishing between about 9:30 AM and about 3:00 pm.
The launch ramp was a circus afterwards, but probably fair given that we had Freeway Bay to ourselves for almost the entire day.
Willard is like that just about every June, if you hit it right. Glad you did so well. Were you using f5, f7 or f9 flicker shad?
That’s why, now that I’m retired, I NEVER hunt or fish on a weekend unless it’s on private property. I’m sorry for the rest of y’all that don’t have that luxury.
I used the F7 flicker shad on most of the rods. But one had an F9 on it and was catching pretty well too. It was a greenish pattern instead of the black/silver pattern on the other rods.
I was really surprised that we had Freeway Bay to ourselves on a Saturday in June.
Thanks for the info, we will give that a try tomorrow.
Close to joining you. I am old enough, but my wife is pushing for 70 so she is retired at the same time. I think she thinks she will never see me if I go fishing without her… she may be right. LOL
