Upper End Yesterday And Today

[rps]

I fished both yesterday and today from dawn until noon. Both days I threw a DD22 for the first hour at flat edges hoping to provoke an early walleye bite. I had two hits and both were off almost as fast as they were on.

Yesterday I hooked a good fish early on a crawler harness but it came unstuck before I saw it. Later in the morning I trolled a crank at 28 feet through some submerged brush on a hump and hooked a walleye I would estimate at 24 inches. My own clumsy net handling knocked it loose.

This morning I manged to land two walleye, 19 and 20 inches. Both hit trolled crank baits in brush. One at 22 feet and the other at 28.

Water temp was up to 81 by noon, and the wind really picked up. I called it a morning.

rps, my brother-in-law said he saw you out today in his yellow bullet and you waved, he had 2 friends from Calif. with him and not me. Wanted you to know I didn't snub you and we will say hi when I'm with him. Duck.

I waved, but I was fine with what looked like determined fishing. We actually wound up crossing paths several times.

RPS, I don't know if this will help you any but my buddies went to Bull Shoals this weekend spear fishing and they killed their limit of walleye every day and they said they were in brush piles 21-28' deep. Said they had no problems finding fish if they could find the brush.

Thanks. That tallies with what I have seen developing.
