Friday Walleye
[ATTACH]6118
got the 6 walleye today (in about 2.5 hours) , all between 17 and 19 inches, lost one at the boat and had 6 hook ups and then lost it, those hard mouths are tuff for that little stinger hook.
Most hook ups were due to the stinger, however there were two and got the big hook.
Toussaint Reef , many boats , many nets a very nice day for fishing. Many boats were to the west in a cluster, and more to the north.
Using a green jig, stinger and tipped with a shiner , had the perch spreader out however no takers, sometimes that will pull a walleye and yellow perch.

Yes that was me. I have caught one in the 30s and seen other caught in the western basin. But never seen one that big. It was rough and I was solo. Just could not get him on the boat. Yes really wanted a picture. He was sitting on the edge of Clinton Reef eating those tasty walleyes. Today was a beautiful day out there Waterdog, Nice Catch.

OK Water Dog you were right as I was wrong. I seen 2 head boats going out today with obviously a couple crew members and no customers. I earlier stated was probably net boats.
