rps Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 I went out of Holiday Island at 10:30 after the rain quit. I fished a top water for a little more than an hour. I caught six and one large mouth might have measured, although I did not find out. I find that encouraging. I threw the Ned for a bit then decided to move to a better location for that bait. However, when I got there I decided to try for walleye instead. I ran a bottom bouncer with a nightcrawler in 10 to 15 feet of water on an inside bend sand flat. I caught three walleye on or near "bumps" on the flat that created breaks. The two smaller fish almost measured and the largest was an even 20 inches. Edit: I forgot to state I came off the water at 2:00 when the boat traffic resembled a third world boat evacuation ahead of a tsunami. Squirrel Fishin', huntest, Hammer time and 3 others 6
mjk86 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 "Bumps"? Do you mind describing that more? Not the location but what you mean when ur lookin at ur graph. Small submerged humps/islands?
rps Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Almost every flat has depressions, ridges, ditches and other contour changes. Some are very subtle and really don't show on side scan, much less down scan. Others are visible. I find that most of the fish I catch off the flat will be at or near these "changes." When I find brush, timber, or other junk on the change, that just makes it better.

Awesome thanks for the report. got to love the wave pushing boats. Unfortunately it's the the beginning lol.
Tanderson15 Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Whey to go RPS. Hope it continues. Keep an eye out for maybe a lot of water.
Stump bumper Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 How does look over there after they opened the flood gates? They only open 1/2 foot but sure it changed conditions around the Island.
