Put in at ER. The walleye guy’s were out. Probably saw at least 15 dedicated walleye boats this morning. 

Lake from Arkansas line to Big M was at maximum fisherman capacity. 

Bass fishing was tough for us. 15 fish in 6 hours with 3 keepers. 

It’s simply amazing how many fish will approach a jerkbait and reject it. 

A-rig and jig for us. 

 

fisherman capacity

I wonder how they did? I hope they didn't clean it out

Been seeing a lot of posts on Facebook, and they are catching. I’m guessing jig with a live minnow or small swimbait. 

Neighbor has caught some this last few days on A-rig.

Years ago, I read an article about fishing for walleye with the elder Fletcher. His name escapes me, but Jeff is his son. Anyway, the article said his preferred Spring bait was a pink road runner tipped with a small minnow. Greenwood, the man who owns the wooded pontoon house, uses a small white swim bait, but often tips it as well.

Good thing about low water years it seems to keep the trout guides turned walleye guide for two months from slaughtering them each day.

Seems to be a minnow deal for sure.
