Nice... WM

Great report lmt out. If you don't mind saying, how deep were they? WM

Glad you found a few medic. Have never thought about trolling a beetle spin. Proves I need to think out of the box a little bit more! Mepps Spinner on leadcore? Thanks for the report! WM

Rapala Shad Rap Hot Steel in color, Berkley Flicker Shad in Blue Tiger. Also might throw size 3 Mepps spinners in gold or silver. Have fun! WM

She out fished ya again, sounds like most days in my boat! Thanks for the report, I have a couple of weeks before I can get back down. WM

Great job Dan! lmt out, your just too funny! I gotta get me some pink blades. WM

Thank you Michael. So good to hear from you! WM

Heck, your set up just fine. Walleye should be found on points and secondary points all around the lake by then. Also try the flats near B7. Jigging a crawler should catch a few. Or you could you tube bottom bouncing for walleye, you could buy some 2 oz bouncers and some harnesses for twenty bucks or so. I usually troll cranks for crappie around that time of year. Specifically size 7 Berkley flicker shads in purple tiger color. WM

What is your preferred method to fish? What type of boat are you gonna be fishing out of? Bass boat, Deep V,Pontoon, Ski Boat? Does the boat have a trolling motor? With a little more information I'm sure there's all kinds of guys on here that can help you put a plan together that should produce. WM

Lmt out, I don't even know what an appropriate response would be to your reports anymore. Nice job? I'll tell you one thing though, next time we have lunch together I'm gonna hide a GPS tracker in your boat! LOL! WM

Aw come on zarraspook, I troll cranks sometimes too! I'm glad you caught some trolling flicker's. There's so many ways to catch walleye (and crappie) it's almost mind boggling. Lmt out and I bounce a lot. Come July I usually switch over to trolling cranks on lead core line. Lmt out can catch them on a bouncer all summer. Dan Hufferd jigs a spoon a lot. Gary Stanton prefers to troll cranks on lead core the majority of the time, but can put a hurtin' on them with bouncers if that's what he needs to do. There's guys jigging crawlers and minnows, if powerdive hadn't defected to Florida he'd be catching 'em with a jigging rap a lot. When i had lunch with lmt out Sunday, we talked about how neither of us generally fish deeper than 25'. Now Dan Hufferd comes along and posts that he's catching them at like 40' sometimes, or catches some casting crank baits of all things! So I guess what I'm getting at is, for guys that want to learn to catch 'em I'd recommend getting real good at a technique that you already have some confidence in, and be pretty good at a back up technique. Then, all you have to do is find the fish! Thanks for the report zarraspook, I'll be trolling flicker shad for huge crappie next time I'm down! WM

Good job figuring them out. What lmt out failed to mention is that he had ZERO keepers when we had lunch and then put six in the boat in a very short time during the heat of the afternoon when many people say the walleye shut down...just sayin'. Had a great lunch with him and his wife. When we left, my wife commented on how many nice people we have met through a couple of fishing forums that I have joined. Lots of good folks in the Ozarks. That sounds like a plan Dan. I think we'd find that people catch a lot of walleye using many different techniques in varying depths of water. WM

Great job Dan! Those tough days really make you appreciate every fish. WM

Nice stringer for a half day. Bet those clients were happy, good job! WM

For my wife and I, heading to Stockton Lake and spending a little time on the water is an opportunity for much needed rest and relaxation. I sometimes catch a hard time from other walleye fishing buddies about how late we often get out on the lake, sometimes not until noon. This weekend we decided to hit it a little earlier. So, Saturday morning we rolled out of bed at the crack of nine and after scouting ramps hit the water by 11:30. We put in at State Park. Fortunately, Gary Stanton and lmt out had shared some general information about the current bite, which proved invaluable. Gary told me he was having luck on main lake points, and lmt out told me if I was going to try bottom bouncing that I'd have to fish deeper than 20' or the green moss would foul my spinners. Prior to talking with Gary, I was planning on fishing my favorite spring cove but decided to hit a favorite main lake point first. I bottom bounced that point at 24' and came up empty. There were some guys bass fishing on the south side of the point and I trolled on around behind them and decided to hit a secondary point on south of them. When hit the point, boom...had a nice double. Turned around and hit it again and picked up another keeper. Fast forward to 2:30 PM and we finished with another double on the same point, which made nine keepers and a short in three hours. We headed in to clean fish and then went to a fish fry at Gary Stanton's house. A good time was had by all. Sunday the 7th, we went crazy and were on the water by 10:00. Picked up four keepers and three shorts and headed in at 4:30. Had lunch with lmt out and his wife at State Park Marina and really had a nice visit. When we left my wife commented on how many nice people we have met over the years through fishing forums. Hope to meet many more. So, to sum it up, we both limited on May 6th bottom bouncing spinners and slow death rigs in 24-30' of water on a secondary point. On May 7th we had four keepers and three shorts using the same techniques in the same depths on a secondary point. Biggest walleye each day was 18". Typically, I wouldn't be fishing that deep this time of year. So, Thanks to Gary and lmt out for sharing information! We had a great weekend, can't wait for the next one! WM

Thanks for the report. I was just getting ready to shoot you a text to see if you were still cleaning fish! WM

Good luck lmt out. It would be great if you could get them figured out by this weekend! WM

Great fish Ranger! That would be considered a quality 'eye on pretty much any waters in North America. Would you be willing to share information on how you caught her? WM

Great couple of trips eyes. Good job! WM

Great first post Old dog! Appreciate all the detail! WM

Yea for sure, lmt out has them figured out. It's not easy to put the numbers in the boat that lmt out and Mrs. lmt out do. Kudos to you! I'd be interested in your smoked walleye recipe! WM

Sweet rig BugDriver! WM

Great job lmt out! Hopefully I'll get a chance to try to fish for some one of these days! WM

Very nice Dan. I'm very happy for you! WM

Good grief lmt out, do you ever sleep!? Great report, hope I get a shot at some soon! WM
