Great night of walleye fishing!!

Unread postby bowhunter15 » Mon Jun 17, 2013 12:33 pm

I was up at one of my roommate's cabin this weekend. We went out yesterday evening. I ended up boating 5 walleyes. The first was 21". Then I got two 23"ers. Then a 23.5". I would have been content to go back in and eat dinner, but my roommate was determined to catch a fish so we stayed out a little longer. I ended up catching the biggest fish of the night, 28.5"! It was also my longest walleye ever.

Nice job.

We were using lindy rigs with leeches in anywhere from 18-23 feet. There were two small humps near an island surrounded by deep water so we kept working the edges of the humps. Went out late this morning for a couple hours and we boated one 23" and lost another really nice one, but overall it was somewhat slow. This lake is unique. You always have the chance of landing a trophy, but you'd be hardpressed to catch a meal. Fish smaller than 21 are really hard to come by for whatever reason.

Nice, I seem to always to be behind on the deep bite. I hammer them shallow early in the season, but then stubbornly stay shallow to long. I have a similar sunkin island hump i was gonna hit last weekend but instead stayed shallow. Do you guys make a similar shallow to deep shift to stay on the bite? I've really fallen in love with slip-bobber fishing, I'll troll to find active fish toss out a marker buoy and anchor over the top of them.
