The surface temp got up to 70.5 degree before a breeze started at 5pm and then it dropped several degrees. I did pick up a couple 2.5oz. bottom bouncers today that Ill run Friday and see if it makes a difference. Yesterday was the first trip this year I wish I had a bag of ice in my fish box the fish looked a little worse for wear when I cleaned them, but the fillets where still firm and good when I vacuum sealed them. One thing I think helped with my success yesterday, is once I got that first fish I just kept grinding in the same 100 yard box, like you guys and I did last friday.(05-29-2024, 06:18 PM)obifishkenobi Wrote: I didn't get launched until 11 am yesterday and it took a while to find them, I stayed until 6 pm. I caught 10 walleye putting back 4 small ones, I did keep one small one to finish out my limit for the day and 1 catfish. I got all of mine on 2 oz. bottom bouncers going 1.7-2.1 mph with long 125+ setbacks perch pattern Lindy rig was my best producer. I'll have Fast Randy and a couple of his buddy's with me Friday and I think Ill pick up some 2.5oz Bottom bouncers as the average depth is now 25'
You guys did better than most members did Shawn. I wonder if the late afternoon time frame is better this week
Lets hope Fri is even better.
