2 buddies and I headed down for our annual weekend trip, staying out of Merlands. We began fishing friday morning around 7, fished all day with no fish. we heard it was tough, but!!?? we fishing deep, we tried shallow, we varied speeds, lures, depth of lures, colours etc. Saturday morning we got out around 9 or so, fished more of the same and got the same. So we decided to try and target specific depths/contours. Saturday afternnon about 1:30 we finally found a fish, a nice 9lb walleye. About an hour and a half later, another a 6lb eye. From that point on we played with a few things, speed, colour, and lure depth to maximize our 6 lines, and for the rest of the weekend we averaged a fish an hour. We ended up with 11 fish, biggest being 11.5, a 9.5, and 3 other 9 lbers. The rest were 6-7 lbs. One was a 3 lb fish that made it's way to the frying pan, all other fish released. I think we missed a total of 4 fish that were on.
I know it's the staple, but reef runners and TD's in purple was what they wanted. We had a spot that would produce every pass, but only purple was getting hit, before long we had nothing but purple on. We were definately getting more hits while moving 1.9-2.1 than slower speeds of 1.5-1.7.
Apparently most folks out of merlands caught fish Sunday, a 14.5 was caught!
Things are heating up!! good luck to all & have a safe season! Get out there and get em!!!!
