Calling all casters

[jonk]

Good news, as I plan to go out casting this week... would prefer to catch a lot of fish and have to let them go than go all day and get squat.

I'll troll if I absolutely need to, i.e. if casting is unproductive, but it's a hassle to slow the boat down enough, and I really hate setting up all the gear. Not to mention, it's a lot more fun to reel in ANY walleye on a spinning real spooled with 8-10 lb line than to just drag one in on a big baitcaster loaded with 15-20 lb stuff, but especially a BIG one.

Fished the F and G can area Friday and Saturday morning drifting a harness close to bottom and casting gold mayfly rigs up higher. Friday was sunny and I had better luck on the harness near the bottom. I was off the lake by 11 with my limit of fish from 19" to 23" with probably 20 shorts. Saturday was cloudy and I could only fish until 9 and only got one 21" keeper but the shorts were in a feeding frenzy. I probably caught 35 shorts and a slew of farm animals and cats. Most were got up high at 10' or less Saturday. If it's action you want try this area before you troll.
