How did everyone do? Our group was at Pickerel Park, we arrived friday afternoon and opened the trailer. Fired up the food, brown pop and just relaxed. The mux-walleye crew stopped by trying to sell me mux-urine. In fact they were walking around the park with babyfood jars selling the stuff. Dont know if they made any money.
Saturday morning we were on the water by 7 and set up at thompsons heading south. Planer boards with shad and long body baits. On the depth finder we were marking fish but most seemed to be on the bottom with some up higher. We worked out towards the cement plant then swung around and started back heading north up the reach. No fish to show after 5 hrs.
Cymbals, decides he wants to put on bottom bouncers to see if he can tag some of those fish we were seeing on bottom. About 30 mins later he has a fish at3 lbs on the bouncers. I quickly decided to chuck the boards and cranks and throw on the bouncers, iceman says he's not going to change over and keep with the board and cranks.
About 40 minutes later and I have my first fish 3lber. Cymbals gets another, bigger at about 4.5lbs and I get a couple of more 3lbers. Not monsters but nice fish. Iceman didnt bring any bouncers but cant take it any more and asks if I had any extras. No problem, he gets set up and promptly hits a 6lber. We finish with 7 fish for the day.
Sunday morning its just cymbals and I as iceman twisted something climbing in the boat and can't walk. We head back to long reach and set up again and fish are still cooperating. We caught 6 with the biggest at 7.63 lbs. Called it a day around 1pm. Most of the fish we got were 15-23ft depths on northland harnesses and our trolling speed was 1.0-1.3
