WalleyeTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonSpring (Spawn)StructureOpen Water/BasinAlmost all fish were caught from our dock, with minnows under a bobber. Limited casting with a swimbait produced a couple hammer handles and walleye. Going out in the boat only produced 1 rock bass. Our dock was the hot spot!

Fished from our dock the whole holiday weekend. Walleye were very active, but most were under the slot (14 inches). Handful of hammer handle pike as well. Most fish were caught with leeches under a bobber. But we still caught a few fish when we decided to cast swim baits.

Fun day on a stingy lake. Find the rock piles out on the points and look for bait. I have livescope but it was only useful to find the bait, finding fish to cast to was tough to do. Finding bait and fan casting the area produced fish.
