yes they would do every thing but bite it. They followed it up and down not real aggresively though, but that was like 3 weeks ago so it could be different now. I am too chomping at the bit to get some walleye grezz in my boat and hands, weather and timing has to be right to do it. We caught the one on a green buck shot, and tryed everything from a hair jig to a jig rap. I think it could bust loose any day it just all about the weather and water clairity. I would love to go this weekend but weather/wind looks not good. I also heard the boys up in saginaw river are nocking the daylights out of then so might be heading that way this weekend if weather wont allow for erie.
