Way Upper End

[rps]

I headed up to Houseman this morning, determined to find walleye/whites. By 2:30 I had zero fish. The area was busy despite it being a weekday, but I did not see many catches. Those I talked to said things were slow. Around 2:45 I watched a gentleman catch a huge white and then a 3+ pound walleye, both on a chartreuse pearl fluke. Met and talked to him later. Nice guy. His name is David Blackford.He was throwing the fluke on a 1/16 head and fishing it like a jerk bait with a fairly quick cadence. He reported the bait was pretty much his go to rig and that he caught two other walleye and several whites.

Later in the afternoon I put on what I had to "match" his bait - a shad fluke on a lightly weighted fluke hook. I caught two huge white bass and a short walleye. I had several other hits, but couldn't connect.

Water temp was 54 in the morning and 58/59 in the late afternoon.

Thanks for the info, I might give that area a shot later this week if the wind calms down a little. I would like to get into some whites for the frying pan.
