I have to stop listening to hot intel and just go with mine and my neighbour's thoughts/plans.
Told it was really good in shallow with tons of marks the day before, so we started there.
There were lots of marks and landed a very small walleye right away, but, more Sheephead than any other day, 11 or 12 and smalls, all smalls.
Trolled out to deeper water, as deep as 63.5 but nothing much happened with consistency.
Picked them off but threw small after small after small back.
Trolled past the pack on the deep side and listened to two who were friends find out how far dipsys on 3 track to the side. (hooked each other)
That's not for me.
Ended up with a decent 2 person cooler but it was a slow day.
Best rod on the boat, starboard dipy on 1 - 125 back
Second best port dipsy on 1
Number 3 dipsys contributed a few each.
Best lure by miles
Worm harnesses, a few.
Body baits, zilch, a few strikes.
Spoons after going through a number of changes tons lol.
LC with spoon 2
No rigger used, all the rest dipsy
Best fish of the day (size) was the last into the box.
Had an unfortunate oversight at the end of the day. Didn't pull the probe/weight back due to being distracted and started in.
Fortunately Scotty's are super strong and the FH breakaway works, I only lost a d/r weight.
Off to Sail or somewhere local for a new paddle wheel kit. I have another breakaway.
Will be looking for an 8 lb pancake weight.
As a side, on our way out Chris was busy pumping out another patron's boat that was in jeopardy. Class guy.
Hopefully next trip will be better and less eventful. LOL
