Walleye repirt

[lmt out]

Went for a short trip today fished about 4 hrs had 3 keeper 2 shorts jig and crawler in 18ft.

I’m thinking that is the old shoreline.  Did you get any green, brown or spotted fish?  Where did you launch?

I launched out of RB ramp and the doc was in the water but the kiosk that you pay to to use the ramp was underwater. LOL. My first fish was a smallmouth about 13 1/2 14in long that was the only bass I caught all day cut to drum three perch and a flat head and as it always happens I lost the best walleye just as I was about to net it

How was the water clarity at RB?  I was hesitant to go to Stockton this weekend, have an uncle in wanting to go fishing, so made plans to go to table rock with him for the weekend.  Is there still a lot of junk in the water?

There is some debris in the water.  Not enough to make fishing difficult. The clarity looked good, not gin clear just a little stained. Of course I grew up fishing truman so being able to see a jig 2 ft under the surface rarely happens up there. Lol

Roadrunners? And are you bouncing the bottom with the jig or staying above bottom? 

Finally, how many jigs did you lose??? 😊

Thanks for the information, going to try and get up there next weekend.  Going to try and find some walleye on the white river arm of table rock this weekend, staying at big M, hopefully will not get rained out, according to the conservation report, walleye should be a plenty up the white river area, we shall see, thanks again your ability to continuously find walleye is just amazing to me, that is my goal this year to figure them out or go nuts trying 😂

I had a pic in a post a couple years ago. I can't find the pic on my phone now but what I use is called a fireball jig.  Northlake tackle sells them.  They r basically a short shank jig head that you can tie a stinger hook on.  And I do. I use 14lb florocarbon line and a no.1 red octopus hook. I try to stay 3 to 6 inches from the bottom dropping it down occasionally to make contact with the bottom.  I believe I lost one jig yesterday.  I tried using jigging raps also and lost 2 or 3 of them and didn't catch anything but a drum with them. I highly recommend northlandtackle.com I buy most of my jigs and all of my crawler harnesses from them.  I use the baitfish floater rigs. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the kind words.  I'll be interested to hear how you do on the white river give us a report on how you do.
