Nice Morning Out Of Baxter

[Bill Babler]

Didn’t get out till 5:45. Could have been at the ramp an hour earlier. 

Saw a few top water fish but they were not interested in any top water bait I offered. Did have one eat a Dixie Jet. 

Nothing big, but very decent bites. Got bit 14 times and they all came to the boat. Never missed or lost a fish and I’m not that good. They just wanted it. 

Surface temp at the start 82.1 and when I quit at 10 am it was the same.  Never really got hot  as there was a nice breeze all morning. 

I left them biting the 3/8 oz. Jig with a Chompers twin tail all in GP Pepper. 

All my fish except the flutter spooner came under 12’. I’d say 8’ was the best depth this morning for me.  8 jaws,  5 K’s and one LM. 

Surprisingly good shallow bite for this time of year for me however most of my fish this year have been shallow. 

Good Luck

PS. Neighbor had a limit of walleye this morning in under 3 hours. 20’ range.

Walleye???  When we going??!!

[Bgctrading]

Yes. Details on the walleye.... I'll be at the house this weekend.

My favorite combination. Top water or shallow bass early, followed by a walleye bite.

I miss this time of year.

Oh c'mon, Bill. Tell us exactly where you were. We need waypoints! Can't expect people to actually go fishing and find some for themselves. 😄

I've caught several walleye in there this time of year as well. The area fits all the criteria for walleye habitat, in my opinion. I even caught them under wake boat traffic, I think it actually turned them on.  It was the first weekend after the 4th they were 28ft. I had never fished the area before, my brother and daughter in-law, and I caught 6 with only one keeper over 20.
