That is the ticket when it comes to fishing Willard, find where the biter fish are and stay on top of them. On any given day there are likely many spots where the fish are biting, but they can be small areas and if you catch one and keep trolling, you might not find a second spot. When I catch one fish, I usually circle back and see if there are other fish in that location that want to bite, then if there are, I will circle that spot for hours, as long as the fish are biting.
Yes, it was the same lure for everything. We caught every fish on the same exact plug trolled off of 5 different lines. Catfish, crappie, and wipers all hit the same lure.
We basically were pulling a circle between where the wipers were hitting and the depression, picking up a wiper, cat, wiper, cat, wiper, cat, etc. The crappies came in the same area as the wipers so your strategy totally jives with my experience yesterday.
I wish we could have found one walleye for my buddy. But, just couldn't pull it off. There will be other days though.
