Walleye 7/26 and 7/27

[Walleyedmike]

Hit the lake 7/26 at 09:00, put in at RB. Bounced the RB cove and another cove on the Little Sac. Had no luck on the bottom bouncer. Moved to some main lake points on the Big Sac and trolled flicker shads on lead core. Picked up a couple of nice whites and several drum right away in 20' of water. Moved up to the 15-19' range and picked up a 23" walleye. Also picked up three shorts and a crappie. The heat over came us at 2:00 and we headed in. 7/27 hit the water at 7:00 and headed to the point that held fish the previous day. Nothing...trolled cranks baits south and picked up a couple of shorts and other species, pretty slow. Headed in at noon, lake was crazy busy. Haven't caught a ton of walleye this year, but have had a 24" and two 23" in the month of July. They were released for others to enjoy in the future!

Lead core is very effective. I know several good fishermen who swear by it because it works.

Sadly it makes landing the fish like cranking a bucket out of a well.

Good job falling on the wicked witch of the west and catching some nice fish. Hopefully things will pick up a bit with the falling water.

We can do that...just be advised in my opinion, I'm a bit of a novice. I do a lot of trial and error!
