Steve and I started out in the late morning looking for crappie, I also wanted try some new areas. After much driving and casting without out a fish, we thought that surely we could get into that full moon jerk bait action up top....Nearing night fall now we both have dislocated our shoulders and nothing, I thought, hey, I will just throw this swimbait out into the deep and drag it back to the boat, while Steve continues to throw his shoulder out of socket at the bank. Something happened as I dragged the bait over junk 30 feet or so on the bottom, crap I'm hung up, no wait it was a fish ! I sure wish I had figured this out sooner. Have you ever thought that? I know you have.
I really wanted a walleye, so it was back to the stickbait a couple casts later on the second jerk wham-o a little 16 inch walleye, not the 10 lber I was looking for but I will take it.
Feeling rejuvenated we both began throwing our arms off again without success, It was at least 1 hour after sunset when we bugged out. As we moved off the bank over deep water (45 feet +) we did start seeing large marks on the graph. I wonder if the night bite got better later?
Good luck out there, there is always something to learn.
Even though this day was REALLY tough, I spent it with a great friend, and that is good ! I am blessed !
God bless everyone on this Easter weekend !
