Fishing 5-3 An 5-4

[minnowhooker]

Went eye fishing both days got a limit down one bank Thursday but worked hard today to get a limit both days 17' to 23' using nightcrawlers on a spinner harness fished north of Hartley launch.

Wow! I would love to catch some Walleyes! Can you tell me what a spinning rig is and how you fish it? Were you casting, still fishing under a bobber, or trolling? My wife and I are hoping to go Walleye fishing Sunday at Stockton, but don't have a clue about where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Targa

Targa...I'd start in at least 15' of water with a 1/4 ounce jig with a night crawler...locate the bottom and lift and drop about a foot...move deeper and adjust jig weight as needed to keep in contactwith the bottom...trolling a spinner rig requires lots of "technique" and with the moss the way it is can be a real pain....you should catch one...as for location...I fish point B-4 and especially on the west side of it for about 1/4 mile..good luck...

I hope the link above works I was using a foot shorter rig and had a silver blade in front of the slow death hook with a number 5 bead in front and behind the blade and trolled .8 mile per hour. Dennis is right the moss is a pain and you have to keep it just off the bottom. You will lose rigs and bottom bouncers doing this but it will catch fish. Dennis has a good way also and if you hang up you won't lose as much. There is a lot of info on spinner rigs if you google it. RPS who hangs out on the Table Rock site wrote an article about rigs he makes and how he fishes them and it's somewhere in Ozark Anglers I'll try and find it good luck.

Targa, go to blogs at the top and the scroll down to Trolling for Table Rock walleyes great info and it can be apply to any lake. Walleye Central is another forum dedicated to walleye fishing I hope I don't in trouble for mentioning there name on this site....lol

Good luck Sunday
