Topwater in the June Rain

[rps]

I put in around noon on Tuesday the 16th. The first two hours I targeted walleye with a nightcrawler on a harness behind a bottom bouncer. I fished a proven area in water from 12 feet to 25 feet deep. All I caught were small bass. Then, for an hour, I trolled a Reef Runner at the 20 foot level through tree and brush tops. I had seen some fish suspended in trees at that level. Again, no joy.

Because it was overcast and raining, I decided to try top water fishing. I found a pattern of laydowns at the back end of creeks and long pockets. Caught 11 this size:

I ended on a good note with this one:

Boy what a great topwater day!

Very nice! I've been wondering if I should give walleyes a miss and do something different. You may have inspired me...

I've seen them get on that pattern up there but not sure I've ever done that well. Very good job. Nothing quite like a consistent topwater bite for pure fun.

Very nice good sir! I bet that was a fun day!
