Tough Week

[MrGiggles]

Fished Sunday after the rain and caught a 15" Walleye and a couple dandy bass trolling flicker shads.

Fished Tuesday and caught a decent 15" smallie on a roadrunner. No luck trolling.

Fished tonight and tried trolling over many different areas with different baits and had no luck at all. Tried jigging around some brush with no luck either. Skunked.

How everyone else been doing? Haven't seen any recent reports.

Been working. Going to try T Rock saturday

Surprised you weren't picking up some crappie with the flicker shad. You might want to also try the Bandit 300 series in Mad Cow. Is it just me or has the price of Bandit lures gone up?

Me too.

A couple weeks ago I was catching them pretty regularly. Not filling the boat by any means, but I could get a decent meal out of an afternoon's fishing. 

I did look at Bandits at BPS, but they were 8 dollars each... Academy has them for 5 and change, will get them online or the next time I'm in south Springfield.

They do call them bandits...sorry.  I bought 3  Mad Cows on EBay and they weren't cheap, but yes, the fish like them. They like Flicker Shad too. The Mad Cow seems hard to find.

Did a little better tonight.

Two drum, a bluegill, a decent bass, and I lost a big walleye right at the boat. Pulled the hooks.

The overwhelming favorite was a pearl white #6 flicker shad. No takers on purple tiger or black/silver.

Still no crappie. Makes me wonder where they are at.

I would try in and around brush piles for crappie this time of year.

Thanks for the updates guys.  I'm visiting Stockton this weekend and spent this morning searching for walleye and crappie.   Didn't have any luck with bottom bouncers and spinners or Trolling flicker shads and bandits.  Marked tons of fish and shad but the only fish caught were catfish.   Fished the flats and a couple of points from 15' to 30'.

Did better yet tonight.

One keeper one short crappie and a nice hybrid trolling. Once again pearl white was the favorite, didn't get any hits on black/silver or blue tiger.

Had another keeper crappie near a brush pile jigging too.

Didn't know that there were any hybrids in Stockton.
