Definitely a beautiful weekend! The Solunar Tables were in our favor, stable weather, and a great location. However, the bite was not fast and furious by a long shot.
Key presentation was just a plain #2 Orange Hook with a Fathead and bobber. I did catch a couple on a Vingla (kind of Swedish Pimple thing), some on a small jigging Rapala, and one on a White Puddle Jumper (mainly a crappie bait). A lot of experimenting going on.
We marked all kinds of fish, but they were very tentative. I decided to drop the camera in down view mode. Walleyes have a tendency to be camera shy. We saw fish look at the minnow, touch the head & tail of the minnow, look at the hook, look at the Vingla, look at the bead on top of the Vingla, and one even appeared to look up at the line attached to the lure! I guess they can even see Fluorocarbon, when they look close enough! Pretty crazy. Jigging seemed to spook them. We went back to the plain hook gig for the rest of the time.
We landed just under 100 walleyes in a day and a half. Most were 14-16" with a hand full in the 18-19"+ range. Only one Rattle Reel wakeup at 3:00am. Must have been a random school swinging through.
All in all a great time. We have a day trip to Leach in a week or so. Fish on!
