Fall Pattern - Update

[Cindyjo]

Pattern remains the same since my last report.  Went out last Monday and boated 22.  Best 5 were probably 15 -18lbs.  Out again last Wed. for 1 hr. and boated 2.  Sat. boated 8 in 1.5 hrs. Today boated 10 and fished for approx. 1.5hrs.  Nothing has changed in the last several weeks.  Locate the fish in 12-16 fow on sonar.  Actively fish in adjacent water 6-10'.  It is a blast to get directly over a school and vertical jig.  Nearly every fish was caught on a spoon.  Did catch one on a road runner.   When they are actively feeding I use a daredevil just for the fun of it.  Once again lucked into a walleye.  This one was 24".  Past 3 years no walleye.  This year 3 so far.  The 2014 shocking report indicated better walleye populations than previous years.  Fishing results confirm the shocking report.  Interesting.

Can't help it ... spooning in 6 feet of water conjures up visions of someone taking stem cells from me and Bo (Merc1997) and creating a hybrid super structure-dragging, bank-beating speed winder capable of covering two-thirds of Table Rock in 3.75 hours with a 1-ounce jig.

All joking aside, thumbs up for coming up with a unique way of catching them, cindyjo.

nice job!!  catch them where they are, not where you want them to be.  flexibility and thinking outside the box leads to success.

That's being resourceful! Congrats with awesome results. I would never think to fish a spoon that shallow.
