Thanks, it was nice to get out. I don't see many walleye pictures lately from Stockton, did people quit fishing for them?? Crappie seem good, maybe that's it. The walleye was the most rewarding, he showed up on the sonar, I stopped the boat, backed up (I was thinking, "Man that looks like a walleye") threw to it, success ! I think they call it sharp shooting. It hit a 1/4oz mooneye jig with a natural color 4 inch paddle tail swim bait. If I was going to target walleye I would be drift fishing or vertical jigging this bait. I have caught some nice eyes on a paddle tail.

I got to the water late, fished north of cedar ridge, I was tough up there, most fish were, 35 to 45 ft Brought home 1 walleye 29ft deep 6 crappie 36 ft deep 3 nice whites 45 ft deep I'm still learning, it was a nice day to be on the water. Oh 1 large mouth 36ft hanging with the crappie. This post has been promoted to an article

Nice !

Wow nice !

You are the man !

Dang I like lowrance😭

Wow neat !

What are you running ?

He didn't know it but I would have given him one, if he had shown some interest.

About middle of the pile. You have to hover over the pile, just kinda drop down through it. I use an Aberdeen hook, I like the long shank, then a slow lift back out.

Fyi as the sun came up and the water warmed it got tough for me. The fish became scattered and higher in the water. The morning bite at 35+ feet was easier for me, they were grouped up nice. I tend to go for the deep bite anyway. Good luck out there, and thanks

A couple bass on a spoon, one on a drop shot minnow intended for a crappie. I didn't mean to mislead. A bass fishermen cruised by he said that it was slow, l said man you should throw a spoon, he said no way, so I thought, I might try my own advice it worked. I went back to crappie.

It has been a while since the boat and I have been out together. I decided to go for crappie, I got on the water about 7am got off around 5pm, it was getting windy by then. I ended up taking 7 crappie home, depth 35ft. The big bass was 5lb 13oz, I caught it in 25 ft of water on a flat near a channel with the others, I could see it on the graph, I was hoping for a walleye. It was nice to get out. Bonus...I ran into Mike Holland and his wife. I love their new boat ! This post has been promoted to an article

I would like a pair of boot insulated boot waders, on the cheap (that's how I roll😁) I am only going to use them a few times year. I am 5'10" 165# 31" waist 33" inseam 43" around the chest. Most online waders seem really not my size. Guidance needed.

I know many others will no doubt chime in...I use a product called Tough Stuff, it is sold at Wallmart. It works well. One time years ago My kids left a red crayon in the front seat of my new truck, it was about 90 degrees that day, that thing melted into the cloth. I had to spray that stuff on and dab it off, several times, but it all came out. I have used it ever since.

Thank you very much !

I only post my success😁 That way folks don't know that I struck out 28 times. It is easy to get goal oriented and miss the beauty.

Very nice. Call me envious!

I have this one. Although it is a minimal charge, it does charge from the outboard. I don't know if it really helps or hurts. I guess I just feel like I am being more efficient. I can't tell you if it is worth the extra cabbage.

To skin, we used to cut around the middle of the body, peel some skin back on each half, then pull the shirt off and the pants down at the same time, no hanging up at all. Then gut, wash, boil, de-bone, mix with a can of mushroom soup, pour over rice. Muskrat hind quarters are good too, but chicken is so easy. Thanks or the post, you got all of us thinking. 😀

I am going to say when water temps get near 55 or so. I am not an avid crappie fisherman, but I have caught several. This guy knows all about Stockton winter crappie, he has also shot some great videos with G3 outdoors. https://www.youtube.com/user/HawkeyeProduction417/videos http://g3sportsman.com/how-to-target-winter-transition-crappie/

I keep the big ones too. I like to eat them. I have caught several fatties on TR while fishing for walleye. These were like 35 ft down in October, seemed like they were all big.

Sometimes a danged old nightcrawler works well too. You are welcome, get well soon!
