The 2018 Hatch

[itsbob]

There should be plenty of short walleye being caught this year.Those fish should be between 11-13" this spring.Be careful handling and releasing those fish.From what I have been reading,there are not many shorts being caught during this early crankbait part of the season.Seams they will explode onto scene when water hits 50degrees and the fishing shifts from the crankbsit/jig to the harness/spoon bites.Going from memory,in 2017 pooh bear was catching and releasing over 300 shorts to keep his 36 fish limit.Seamed you needed to move away from active groups of short fish to find bigger fish elsewhere.These 2018 shorts will not be reaching legal 15" length until September.That is when those 2015 fish reached legal length in 2017.
