walleye & pearch fishing

Fished 15-17: Fri. fished G can for walleye. Caught a bunch, kept 16. The one's we kept were 20- 25". Caught on TD's and Rattle Tots. Anywhere from 80-120 back, at 2.5 - 2.8 speed. Sat. went Perch fishing to give arms a break from catching all those little Walleye! Went w. of A can caught nice perch, 4 man limit, done at 11:30. 30 lbs at Cutchers. Same Sun. again 30 lbs. had to move 2 times done at 12:00. A great weekend with 3 great friends. Had a bonus Sat. a fish fry! Boy that's some good eating.

Did a few inches get cut off the first part of your ruler? Hahaha...nice catch and looks like a good weekend.

Was it a little bumpy Friday?

No, we caught those bigger fish a mile or 2 east of G. Hit a little pod stayed on them. When the wind started it was a one way troll. Finished with TD 11 on all lines those, caught the bigger eyes.

Sorry, must be having a brain fart, what's areTD's?

Tail dancers

High noon, by chance do you have any numbers for location where you were, have some friends coming uo, would like to try to get them some eyes to actually keep. Thanks if you can share

No numbers, we were 1.5- 2 mile just n. of g can. Stay away from pack, We were trolling S. Found this pod of nicer fish, stayed on them. Try different baits. Started with Rattle Tots caught omg. it seemed like we couldn't keep the little one's off. Tried #9 td's same story. Put on the TD 11's and every 3 fish was a nice one, and also we didn't have to crank 110-120 feet in. Running 11's back 50 or so, again you have to experiment. Oh yes a lot of S turns. We quit at 11:00 wind came and messed our program all up.

I prefer emeralds but use what ever the bait store has available be it Golden Shiners, Fat Head Minnows or a mix of Golden and Emeralds.

K. Thanks, little confused though, one post you say you were east of the can, then you say n. Hopefully that pod is still in the area this weekend and can be found.

Sorry, started N.E. of can, trolling S. We are taking this weekend off because of the heat. I hope you can find fish. Looking forward to your post. Good luck

Thanks for clarifing, I think k this weekend heat will keep a lot of ppl off the water, or at least shorten the trips.

What color taildancers were you running

The purple eriedesant was the best. Any bright color, not a lot of colors to chose from in the TD11. Good luck
