Out again on Sunday for a few hours from 6pm-8pm to entertain the father-in-law, or hope to. The plan was for us was to try for some walleyes but for the second weekend in a row I was faced with a lot of nibblers to start and no fish. What I am finding in these areas is that these are crappies. We have been downsizing (jigging) to grubs, tubes and smaller hair-type jigs. From 6:30-7:30 we were able to catch a dozen crappie. Then from 7:30-8 prior to getting chased off by weather we were able to get three more crappie, two slots walleyes and a couple walleye dinks in another location. Anyway, drive around and you will see these schools of fish on your locator. We were able to catch these in anywhere from 10-25 FOW, shallow water was during low light. Also, working jigs anywhere from right on the bottom to up to 4 ft up. The locator should help give you an idea here.
Most fish were in the 11-12" range with two in the 12-13" range. Sorry no pictures. I need to work on getting more pictures uploaded, but had to clean fish before it was too late and past father-in-law's bedtime.
