Great picture and great results. Have you been starting out up shallow early in the morning, then moving out as the sun comes up?
We started out up in 15' yesterday morning and found a couple in 20'. Then as the sun got up high with flat water, we went out 15 miles to get the rest. I would rather cast jigs or cranks any day than troll out in 70' of water. lol

Didn’t notice any correlation with time. Just had 3 areas we bounced between when one bite slowed. One shallow rip rap 14-20 feet. One 24 ft flat area, then one 44 foot area that was just migratory.

 

4 day beat down in central basin fishing from 15-45 fow. Most casting my harnesses but don’t overlook casting deep diving jerkbaits in the shallows. I personally handled 36 legal sized walleye over 4 days. Size was hard to come by with most fish under 20 and a few 21-24’s mixed in. Lost a 27 at the boat.

Where did you get the orange and gold spinner blades?

 

Here’s the link from fish usa, double Dutch is the color.

Did the perch all come from shallow water on harnesses? Rip rap or mud flats? I'd love to get 10 nice perch for a fish fry.

 

Riprap on harnesses, bet you could crush them in 20ft rip rap with minnows, might have to fight off all the unwanted fish.

 

What crankbait is that? Looking to get away from the worms. I hate dealing with them but they're so effective.

THANKS,,,, for all of the info!
If that BLUE CHROME plug worked well,,,,, I'll have to pull out my old 'Bill Normans", with the rattles.
They were killers back in the 'ol RedBrook flatlining days!

 

sure beats trolling, nice report

 

I checked out your link for the blades. They sure are nice looking,,, but, did I see the price right,,, $2 each?

FWIW,,,,
If you run out of mad-money & blades,, try this route,, EBAY.
100, #3-#5 blades for $15 - $20, depending on size, color & or hammered.
Then I just use some glitter fingernail polish. Usually $1 a bottle. Paint a stripe along both sides of the blades.
Make my own harnesses,,,, for about $.33 - $50 each.

The fish don't seem to care, how much they don't cost.

Some of the gang has been making their own spoons,,,, "KILLERS". They call them 'Budweiser'.????
Nickle or brass, hammered or not,,, just put 2 diagonal strips of candy apple red tape on them.

 

Not cheap but I loved them!

 

How heavy of a weight are you using in like 44ft? 3oz?

 

Oh no, 3/4 oz. was counting to about 30.

 

Brandon are you still finding walleye in shallow water? Thanks

 

Not there rn, go back Sunday for a week.
