More Lines = More Fish

Had a Man's weekend up at the lake. 6 guys fishing pretty hard. Caught bass and bass and more bass. We were able to catch enough walleye each day to go with our wild Turkey breast. (Hillbilly Surf n Turf) The Walleyes are deep 27 feet seemed to be the ticket. Caught them on a jig and a nightcrawler. Sunday afternoon we started doing some trolling and caught 3 more walleyes and about 15 crappies on deep diving crank baits (baby bass color normans). Still were trolling in about 20 - 30 foot. I was catching the best bass on topwater and a guy who stays in my campground won a tournament out there this weekend fishing only topwater. Also caught the 1st White bass of the year trolling. The bass were biting everything - worms, paca craws, lizards, crankbaits, jerk baits and spinners. The weather was interesting Sunday morning but by noon the sun was out. Great weekend of fishing.

Sounds like a great time!

I actually cleaned the Crappies I caught. I usually do not keep them. They all had eggs. I was fishing between Hakwers and Mutton Creek.

Good job, 9LB. How did you get your trolling baits down, or (as I suspect) were your Sunday fish suspended? Thanks.

My boat trolls a little too fast so I do not troll much. We were heading towards the dock and decided to give it a whirl going against the wind. I have had some good luck catching some real big crappies this way and I am always looking for a way to put another walleye in the boat. I was trolling deep diving normans but the fish were suspended. Heading up tonight to go at it again.

Nothin like that top water bite. Sounds like it was a helluva time
