6/15 On The Upper End.

Went out early this morning. Several small bass on a Mikey Jr. wake bait. As many missed as connected.

Since I was not killing them on top water, I switched early to walleye fishing. I ran two rods, one with a real night crawler on a spinner harness and one with a slow death hook rammed through a Keitech Swing Impact 3.5. I fished 14 feet to 30 feet. I found bass at 15-16 and at 23-27. I ended with something over 20 fish with 4 keepers. I also found bluegill and catfish. Not one walleye. The Keitech caught more fish than the worm on harness.

I ran into a friend from another message board and he and his two guests had six walleye in their livewell. The said 16 feet. I admitted they had bested me, but I didn't like it.

For you who fish for bass exclusively, that Keitech on a C rig would put you on fish

Keitech on a c-rig, I'll have to give it a try. I have Keitechs sitting around gathering dust,may as well put them to work.

Do you like the action of the Mikey as a wake bait?

Yes, but you fish it different. To get it started when you make a long cast, you put your rod up and reel fast to pop it up and into its wiggle. Then you can slow down. If you try to start it slow, it wants to run just under the surface.
