[cool][#0000ff]My experience suggests that most of the walleye will be oriented near or on rocks right now. Once they get through with the annual orgy they will be looking for food. That's when it is a good idea to work the edges of reeds.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I caught quite a few post spawn walleye on jigs last year by pitching them right to the edge of tamarisk and reeds in only a couple of feet of water. Got lots of white bass and more than a few catfish on plastics that way too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the end of April you can fish plastics like you were fishing for bass. Looks for break lines and structure...rock, reeds, brush, whatever. Doesn't matter whether or not the bottom is mud or whatever. Only if you find quicksand. That could ruin your whole day.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Oh yeah, don't be surprised if you DO get a few largemouths too. April is a good prespawn period for them and they are also cruising the edges of the flooded vegetation.[/#0000ff]
