I launched the old fat cat float tube this morning at 630. Calm conditions with 65-degree surface water temp. I caught 15 little smallmouth bass and five walleye. Three of the eyes were 16-17 inches in length, and two of them were 28 and a half inches long. My personal best walleye from Deer creek. I caught the two big pigs back to back. I have never caught that many big ones in one trip.  The smaller eyes were a lot more feisty than the big ones, although the big ones did not come in easily. I was doing my usual jig fishing with minnow-shaped soft plastics on 1/8 ounce jigs. Bouncing the jigs off the bottom and worked slowly was the magic ticket today.

How is the water depth for launching at Charleston?

Wow, that is a great report, sure don't read many reports of eyes that big being caught a deer creek, congrats. What colored jig head were you using?

I am not sure, it was in a muti pack of 1/8 ounce mooneye jig head pack.
