Next time you go and it's rockin try the shallowst rocks you can find.Temp doesn't seem to bother them if the surfs up.I get um all sumer when it's rough but if the wind dies so does you're bite.

Thats surprising that the walleye are that shallow right now with the heat we all have had. I have not been up to bago in a month or so but I will say that walleye fishing has been pretty good this year from what I have been told. We have caught some but it always seems like when I go up there the old lady is rocking!

Vince, I was also using a 1/5 th oz. whice is why I lost paint in 3-4 fow.I tipped the pimple with a hunk of crawler which is standard fare for summer walleye on bago.I caught perch,sheephead, white bass ,crappie,and a catfih besides the walleye.

Steve what size spoon were you using and what did you tip the hook with? I have had days like that using #3 1/5th size pimples while fishing for gills with wax worms. It seems like I always get a pike or two, a bass or crappie's.  However only one time have I hooked into a walleye while fishing gills on on lake Geneva. I do have to admit that I'm still working on the chucking and do more jigging with them. Don't tell Bill!

Took my buddy out for the bass opener.  They weren't cooperating so I anchored up on a favorite gill spot.  We caught 100 + in a couple hours up to 8 3/4".  He was jigging, I had a copper Kastmaster tipped with Gulp 1" minners.  The spoon was clearly catching the better gills.  Also scored 3 nice Smallies, a Largemouth and a Northern.  A fine morning after we switched to the UL gear.............

Too windy and rainy today to fish so had to stay home and do household chores.  Oh yeah, ordered some stuff online, too.  Have a reel coming for my new walleye rod, 5 Swedish Pimples and some size 8 siwash hooks.  It all should be here in time for the June full moon bite.  Sometimes going fishing is cheaper than staying home.

Thanks Bill. My Kastmaster cloud of confusion has now been lifted.

That's why fish swim in schools so they can read and know what there biting thats why the stamp always rides down right Bill. Theres nothing worse than catching an eliterate fish.
