There was a little derby today here on L.O. 

A dozen of the best fishermen/guides on the lake.    Less than 4lbs. took it all 😅  

I am SO GLAD that I stayed home.

One of the guys had a nice walleye that he caught on a shallow crank.  👍

I fished a tournament at Stockton a few weeks back and my buddy caught a limit of keeper walleye on a red crank.  Of course we threw them back, not if we were in my boat lol.   We did end up winning with a measly limit but i think i would have rather had the walleye then the couple hundred bucks to be honest.   I feel like my priorities are changing now that i have had a boat for 10 or so years, tournaments dont get me as excited as they use to

Me either.  Especially during this time of the year.   They all begin too early in the morning, and end too early in the afternoon.

Do you think the bite this time of year is better late in the day?

I wouldn't know.   I don't even wake up until long after the fog has cleared.  😅

I rarely get out during the early morning period, but 2.5 hours before the sky goes dark the "witching hour" begins.   You can scan the flats and see nothing.....but then all of a sudden....as if sprouting from the lake floor

Just FYI, with the guys taking off from state park.

68 of 210 boats made it past Mill Creek ramp on their initial run. So guessing the big creeks prior to Kimberling Bridge have plenty of FFS guys and some football jig folks on the main lake. 

Perhaps Cody Huff wins this deal if the deep bite is king but he will have plenty of company.
