Wow nice! How deep were your running the harnesses, and using dipsys, jets etc?
What kind of boat is it?
That's great to hear. Many are giving up on walleye and going to perch. I still want walleye.
Thompson 260fishermen dipseys on1.5 back150 and riggers down 55 to 60 firetiger and watermelon were the only thing that was working
I saw you guys, there was a women manning the lines. You guys hooked into a nice one by us. Rod was bent pretty good then you lost it. Nice boat by the way. I was discussing with bailey about how of all the perch fishermen out there nobody is getting eyes.Quote:

Now that you mention it I've probably been out perch fishing 6 times this year and no eyes. I've caught an occasional smallmouth and white bass, perch.
A few times I've seen a school go under me not on the bottom and I've tried getting bait right above the school or in it but nada so far. With my luck it's a school of smelt and my bait scares them away haha.
Fished last night same spot same setup. Boxed 6 then couldn't keep stinkn silver bass off it was rough hard time keeping boat straight.
Anyone have any secrets on how not to catch silver bass besides using stickbaits?
Also any guess how deep a 30ft. Diving reefrunner would be on 10color lead?
80-90' 55-60 for the lead and 30' for your reefie.Quote:

Went out yesterday afternoon and went west off center rd.only got 2small one's in but lost a couple tomorrow im going east again anyone else still chasing eyes?
FOR REEL, I read your post and we have never fished for walleye this late in the year. Not sure as to where to head out of or what the preferred bait is for this time of year. Any info. would certainly be appreciated.

Im gonna go straight off evangola st.park 70fow to start and go north pulling 6harnesses and 2stickbaits then adjust to what there hitting. I'm on 68I have no problem sharing info it makes a better time for all good luck!
