I launched my tube just before 8 this morning. Water temp was 62. My launch was from the beach North marina, near the exposed island. Tried lots of offerings. First one to score was a countdown 7 rapala, grey. I was slow rolling, pausing and twitching it like a jerk bait. 18 inch walleye almost made it to the net. I have never seen a fish come off of a rapala treble hook. That was a first. Other method that gave me tugs was dragging a nightcrawler on a jig. Its a method I have done well with in the heat of the summer on DC and Starvation. Scored a 23 inch walleye, another 18 inch walleye, a small kitty fish and a small smallmouth. Gorgeous weather with a slight breeze coming on at 11am, my cue to call it a day. Been too long since I caught some fish.
