Members Spooner73 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Members Posted May 18, 2015 Sounds good I'll tell you how it goes. I'm going next week
Mike Worley Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 This past week or so I've been pretty busy on the White river, but I did manage to get out on the lake a couple of times. I found the walleyes to be spotty especially on the rainy days and early morning. Once the sun and a little wind picks up it seems to move them out into deeper water. I've only been using nightcrawlers either on bottom bouncers with spinner or a Carolina (hotdawg) rig with a plain hook. And a grub on a jighead. One sunny afternoon I caught 25+ walleyes & smb in 18-23'on bottom bouncers lots of shorts with a few keepers up to about 24". These fish were halfway back in a creek arm on rocky gravel points. The next morning the lake level had came up about 1-2' cloudy rainy day, couldn't get a bite except for smb & ky's in 10-23' on grubs and the hotdawg rig. About 2:00 the sun came out and a little wind, I tried the bottom bouncer again and started marking walleyes on a main lake point. They were in 25-32' caught a 26"er in 27'fow. Then had to leave due to a commitment I had made. I did mark walleyes on more than one point in that 25-32' range before I had to leave. Mojorig says the lake will come up more in the next few days, so this should move more walleyes out to the main lake points and maybe deeper. The grub has been pretty good up in the edge the brush out to 20' mostly catching smb & lmb with a few walleyes mixed in. Top water baits are pretty hot for bass right now according to the bass fishermen, flukes and senkos are aldo working. Diamond City Fisher 1
Members Spooner73 Posted May 20, 2015 Author Members Posted May 20, 2015 Sounds good thanks. Is there any spoon bite yet
Mike Worley Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Ain't looked for a spoon bite yet but I got a spoon rigged anytime I'm on the lake. There's walleyes on main lake points that's always a option especially on the brushpiles. Spooner73 1
Diamond City Fisher Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Picked up a few smallmouth Monday afternoon in a short trip. The lightning got a little close. One nice smallie out of six in about an hour of fishing. Couple on the Ned rig...others on a worm 12 to 18 ft. off the points. Water temp 75 to 76.
Fish24/7 Posted May 20, 2015 Posted May 20, 2015 Those guys mainly trolling DD 22s or using lead core line .I've never used it just heard about it some nice walleye were caught yesterday trolling in the 25+ range so a dd22 might be a good choice. I do pretty good with them in August every year when the thermocline is in the 30' range
