Launched Sturday night at about 8:00 or so. Used the island park gravel bar. The ramp is high and dry, but the docks are still out.
Water temp is 71 to 73.5 depending on which fishfinder you believe.
Fished Jigs and crawlers all night along the East shoreline. Caught about twenty small eyes. Started catching bigger fish after sun up.
3/8 oz jigs with at least some orange on them worked best.
Ended up catching over forty walleye, half a dozen Smallies, and one big Perch. Only eight eyes were keepers, biggest was 23 1/2 "
We usually lose the walleye when they depart the flats and don't really find them again until October or so.
Sure is nice to be out on the water when its cool and the play toys are sleeping.
