rps Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Water Temp 87, Visibility 4 to 6 feet, Fog early. Left the marina at 7 AM resolved to do better than recent trips. I began at a late summer run I discovered last year. I started with a large silver blade worm harness and promptly caught a keeper meanmouth from 26 feet of water. I fished two other locations over the next two hours without catching anything. I went exploring and finally located schooled fish in 29 feet of water but 40 minutes of spooning yielded one half-hearted bump and no hook up. However the depth was a clue. I went to a fourth location and began dragging the harness again, this time in 28 to 32 FOW. Within an 40 minutes I hooked up twice. One walleye was 23 and the other 24 inches. I decided to quit rather than be greedy. Muddy Water, huntest, big c and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

top_dollar Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Nice work! Those are two giant eyes! I couldn't manage to troll any up. I was over commited to the spoon and it cost me lots of worm fish. I felt like I was trying to force feed them the spoon as well. It was tough! I saw em on the graph and fish would willingly eat a crawler, but wouldn't touch my spoon. I don't get it...the crawler fish were spitting up spoon shaped shad. dan hufferd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc1997 Bo Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 great job in continuing the search and believing what the electronics are telling you. a couple of 2 ft. toothy critters is darn good. i bet it took a bit to get them up to the boat. bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
