    We slayed them....

    Jig,

    We were just there this past weekend and quickly abandoned the daytime bite after one afternoon. It was an absolute waste of time. Instead, we concentrated our efforts around dusk and...

    Western Basin - Walleyes

    We've planned a late October trip to the region and was wondering if the walleyes historically move back to the Western Basin in October or November. Is it a jig or live bait bite this time or...
