Noon Hour Walleye

Post by **devy** » Sat Jun 05, 2004 5:34 am

Under a bright sunny sun and with moderate chop on the lake headed out onto mississippi lake around 930. fished several spots on lake around10-12 feet of water with results being 2 nice pike 25 and 24 inches in length. Tried to avoid shallows but still picked up 3 nice small mouth bass(quickly put back into water). Around 1230, decided to head deeper to mid lake and fished humps where water drops off from12 to 20 feet. Within 1 hour caught the 14 walleye with the smallest being 15 inches and the largest 20. (also lost 4 fish)The average size was 18 inches or a little more than 2 lbs!. Backtrolling over the 17-20 foot drop using a 1/8 ounce jig tipped with a minnow was the method of the day. One of the best non-stop action walleye days that I have had in early June! Only kept 4 fish. Seemed to be lots of boats on the lake today. finally got off at 200 had enough action for the day!

hey Devy

Man the fishing gods were smiling on you today

....great looking eye's I'm glad you got photo's keep'em coming

Jigs tipped with minnows seem to be the bait to be using....last weekend i think all the walleye That were caught ...were on a jig tipped with a minnow...i may have to change from cranks to jig and minnow combo

Way to go
