Started at daylight trolling some cranks at 1.7 mph. Water temp 79.   20 minutes into the morning i had a 17" walleye and a couple of twin 20 inchers. all caught in 25 feet of water.  caught a couple of nice spots trolling and a yellow perch.   My brother got me a double plopper for my birthday so i had to give it a try.   1st cast a big gar came up and nailed it, luckily he didnt get hooked.  3rd cast caught a little humpback bass, 5 th cast hooked a nice largemouth that came off, and i had one other blow up. All that was in 10 minutes worth of casting.  It seems to be a decent bait. Kinda flimsy, the first fish bent all the wires real bad and i had to bend them back just right or the ploppers wouldnt plop.  Also you kinda have to throw it and let it sit a second so it will right itself otherwise it will come back to ya upside down.......Good luck to all...............................

Nice job on the 20"s.  We fished BS yesterday trolling deep cranks resulting in 9 short walleye.  We had 4 that were worth measuring but they all fell short of the magical 18" mark.

I have shot several gar right in that area, but is was several years ago, were there a lot of gar or just a few? I have been thinking about heading that way some time.

Lots of gar breaking surface and rolling around.  Tons of bait everywhere.  It is a very "alive" section of the lake right now
