Went crappie fishing today it's been awhile, first stop a nice keeper right off the bat then nothing so I changed spots while moving towards a different pile I was dragging a blk an chartruse jig tipped with a minnow on the bottom and a 20" walleye got on my jig. Caught 1 more and lost 3 same spot. I ended up dragging a jig on rocky points the rest of the day caught on more keeper the eyes were caught in 17' of water the one crappie was about 23' all in all a good day.

Sounds good! What part of the lake were you on?

Sorry WM my phone will take pictures but I'm to cheap to get the down load cord.

Straw I fished the Old State park area but I was surprised they were that shallow this time of year. I thought they would be deeper the water temp when I left was 46. I wonder if they stay in that depth all winter? The bass guys are catching their fish shallow right now so why not the eyes?

Thoughts anyone??????

I just email the pics on my phone to myself and then I can open the email on my computer and save the picture in my pic files. Most current cell phones allow you to add email addresses to your contacts, just add yourself as a contact and share your photos!

I catch most of my walleye secondary to crappie fishing during the winter but having said that I catch most of my crappie 25 to 35 feet but yet my walleye usually around 20 feet. My records don't show any eyes over 25 foot deep but I also never fish north of Hartley either. I don't know if this matters or not.

There are walleye shallow all winter long. Somebody will catch a walleye on a suspending stickbait every day of the cold water season.

And there are walleye deep all winter long. Last January we were catching them on spoons on bottom in 97 feet of water.
