Same here, those pics sure the excitement ramped up! Thanks Lynn.

Will be there this weekend! Save a couple for me!

Wow! Great Fish! What bait presentations are hot up there right now? Are these fish still shallow?

John

Yup, fish are real shallow because the water is still very cold.
The other day I caught an 8 pound walleye in 9 fow, a small 30 inch Pike in 3 fow, and an 18 inch Scaled Rat (aka a Smallie) in 5 fow.
All fish were taken with a 3 inch sucker on a plain hook with NO SINKER.

Eight pounds, nice walleye! Any pictures?

Yup, have a picture of it on a fish measuring board, since I was alone in the boat.
I can send you one in an e mail, but don't know how to post a picture on the bwca.com forum.

If you want to send it via email, I'll post it here if you want?

Sucker....is that a type of crank bait?!

: )

I'm glad you asked.
The sucker I used is a small fish.
Ironically, it's the same name that anyone buying a crank bait is called!!! :)
Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Touché. Nice one!

I was filleting lunch when she caught this off shore! 21 In smallie.

Very nice!

Jim from TGO sent me this picture of a nice walleye. (he couldn't figure out how to post it & having computer problems too).



Jim can fill you in on the details. :-)

Yup,
That's my girlfriend Celia posing with a 29 3/4 inch walleye, taken from Burntside Lake the other day.
I also have a picture of a 40 3/4 inch northern caught a day earlier, but it's in a measuring box.

Wow, that's a beefy Walleye!
