7/21 Eagle Rock To Big M

[rps]

I have been reading the reports and did not even bother to take my top water rod from the box.

In fact I only took out my walleye rods this morning. I fished slow death crawlers for about 2 hours in 28 to 34 feet of water. I caught spotted bass but no walleye. I switched to trolling a crankbait.

I wound up with two, a skinny 19 and a normal 23. Both hit a Firetiger Magnum Wigglewart with 225 feet of 10/2 line out from the rod tip. In both cases the bait had just bounced off a 29-30 foot hump into a slightly deeper dish in the flat. I was running the bait between 2 and 2.5 mph.

Water surface temp 86.

Walleye, schmalleye, who cares about them? How big were the spots?

Just kidding of course, nice eyes! Good bag for this hot weather.

Nice catch RPS. Found out the wife has to work on Labor Day. I will let you know the next time we will be there.
