It was hot, and I don't mean the bite.

It was about a normal Stockton hot day, a bunch of very hungry small bass, a couple cat fish, drum, and this 18" walleye. All were caught on this Bink's 1/2 oz spoon.

I guess I need to start trying spoons. Dan, how are you fishing them? Are you vertical jigging? Thanks

Tipping them with 6 night crawlers.

Nice fish Dan. Hoping to try verticle jigging. Looks pretty productive.

I have not been to stockton in over a month (although jigs n crawlers worked then too...trolled cranks were slower)...but last year in mid july the walleye fishing down there was stupid good just tossing jigs and crawlers around from 15-35 feet.  It was main lake points, starting shallow than working deeper.  It was a bit peculiar....if i dropped the bait straight down to the depth they were biting id rarely get bit...but if i pitched the bait up shallow and worked it back slowly id often get bit when the bait was underneath me and vertical jigged.  Almost as if the fish were shallow to begin with, then would follow the bait out and eat it deep.

No I cast them, I hope to do a tutorial on casting the spoon. I do not tip it with anything.
