This morning was mostly cloudy and little to no wind. As I was fishing today, I caught a walleye on a jerkbait. Walleyes are really rare in lakes around here. I’ve never seen a walleye till today. I caught this nice 3lb walleye on the megabass vision 110 jr in about 5ft of water. I was throwing this jerkbait on the megabass orochi x enforcer paired with a daiwa ballistic 2500 lt. I had 15lb braid with 12lb mono leader on it. I was also using a snap today. I like using a quick snap when I’m throwing jerkbait because it gives the jerkbait more action and it is easier to switch out a bait. Beside this walleye, I also caught a couple spotted bass on the jerkbait. Although I caught this rare walleye and a couple bass, today was still a slow day. In the hot summer season, it seems like I catch way more fish early in the morning when the sun isn’t all the way up yet or after sunrise when the water is cooler.

Today I went to a dam in the dead of summer to try to catch some fish. With the dam not running and really hot summer day, I decided to use live bait. I was able to cast net some live alewife shad and use them as bait. Today I was just free lining these shad on my st croix mojo bass spinning 7’1 MH with my stradic 4000. On my stradic 4000, I had 20lb powerpro braid and 20 mono leader to help with abrasion against the rocks. I was throwing these shad on a 1/0 owner octopus hook to let it swim freely. If you throw a hook too big, it will weight down the bait and won’t swim naturally. I’ve caught a handful of big catfish just letting my shad free line. Because it’s dead of summer and no current, throwing live bait is one of the most effective techniques to catch any type of fish. Almost anything will eat a live bait, especially at dams.

Look for deeper water near points with rock or rip rap. If you're getting snagged, you're fishing it right. A lot of bass will chase the lure into the shallow water, so be sure to fish it all the way to the boat.
