spoon harness

[ReelTime]

We ran them last Sunday and 16 of our 18 fish came on them.

The wife and I launched out of sterling at 7am. The weather guessers were wrong, again. Blownin probably 20 with gusts to 25 out of the NE. We tried in close where we have been getting fish. But with the waves ( we were cross cutting them) you could not see your boards half the time. So we went thru 30 crawlers quick! With one 15 1/4 incher to show for it. Put 2 rods out on bouncers. That worked for a short time, but the crap fish were really tearing those up. We then went out to 19 f.o.w. and tried another spot. Bingo.. 7 in box quick! Lots of doubles/triples but only getting 1 or 2 out of each cluster fugg. Ran back over the spot. Nothing, not a bite! Trolled back in closer..Bingo 5 on at a time but we would only get 2 of the 5 twice. The boat next to us was just shaking his head as he didn't have a single walleye yet. Had to go back out to the 19 to get the last one as we didn't have another bite after that. DNR guy said the best in so far today was 4 fish till we came in, and we had 4 around 4.5 lbs. Average was probably 1.2mph as we were going from .06 to 1.8 mph in the rockin waves.

The worm burners produced well yesterday as well as spoons. Slow speeds for the worms and produced nice size fish. Tro lling is outproducing casting right now as for the scattering. Casting harnesses and bare purple jigs and bottom bouncers all took fish but weapons did best for us. With nice weather this week, we should have a nice couple weeks of fishing during the classic late May bite. May 20th ( Sunday ) is open for a group charter for a morning or evening charter. Call asap by cell as I will be at the lake Wednesday then Friday thru Tuesday this coming week.
