Spent both Saturday and Sunday on the bay. It was windy and choppy, but the rain held off. Saturday fished 6:30am to 12:30pm, trolled adolphus reach on the south side most of Saturday morning with 5 rods out. We tried all kinds of reef runners and tail dancers, dives-to 20 and 30's, walleye divers...despite marking many large fish and lots of bait all over the water column, we couldn't find a willing fish for hours. We had a gold/yellow NK spoon on the rigger at 40 feet as that was the only producer for me last weekend, and after about 3.5 hours we decided to pull the spoon up and try something else. We released the lightly set rigger and felt a decent fish on! Laker2011 reeled up the biggest walleye I've ever had the pleasure of netting, 9lbs 2oz
Trolled around a bit more, but as the chop turned to rollers from a strong west wind, we headed up towards picton bay and tried jigging and drifting live bait. Again, lots of marks on the sonar, but only perch on the line.
Sunday was the same story, windy and choppy waters made for a rough ride. We fished 6:30 to noon. We ran 4 lines (only 2 guys) in adolphus reach, no riggers this time so we had deep diving bannana baits out on planars/flat lines and 2 dispy's set with similar gold/yellow spoons at 40 feet. Again, marked a ton of fish but had a hard time getting bit. At the end of our 3rd pass on the south side of the reach I popped the dipsy to bring in the 'hot' spoon and reeled up a 4lb 11oz walleye...perfect for dinner
The picture of that one is on the phone still, I'll try to get it up soon. Missed one huge hit at the end of the day, again on the same spoon...the rod doubled over for a brief second and when I picked it up it was gone...reeled up to find a mess of snubber, dipsy, leader and line tangled up
Water temps were about the same as last week, still up around 57 degress.
