Fishing with Bob, Toby, and Josh (changed up crew)....4/24/25
by Capt Juls on 04/24/25This morning, I still had the same group, but different participants. This time, I had Bob, who was with me yesterday, Josh, and Toby. We launched out of Mazruik's again, but this time headed NE, up to the line.
We started closer to Middle and worked our way out. The water temp near the island was 53 degrees, and a few miles east it was 49 on the surface, and 47 at 18 feet down. Yes, that's right...I have my FishHawk back. Yay!
We marked spotty fish, and caught when nothing was on the screen.
When I noticed the temp change getting colder, we turned back around and headed SW towards Kelly's Shoal. The fish marks were much better, but they were deep and light hitting, when one did hit. We lost 4.
Good news is....dipsies and spoons will work now too!
I had 4 dipsies in the 12 rod spread, running spoons. An orange spoon (front and back) took two walleye and one sheephead. We ran the zero setting at 45 and 54 (over 42' of water)...both of those caught. The three setting was at 70 back, and caught one....same color spoon.
Speed was 1.9-2.1mph
We changed out cranks from time to time, but the crank bite was slow. Bandits caught 3. "Daydream" (a stock color) caught two, (but one was a white bass), and Chrome Marvin caught one. Daydream was running at 120 back, and Marvin was running at 70 back. The last walleye, number 6, was on a Spro Madeye 120 at 70 back...I don't remember which color it was, though.
It was a tough day for us, only going 6 for 10 on the walleye with one sheephead and one WB, but we had a lot of laughs in the boat, so that made it bearable. I'm going to throw some crawlers in the boat and see if those finicky fish want some meat tomorrow, instead.
Sorry there's not much to report...other than it was tough for us.
Hoping their last day with me will be better...fingers crossed!
Stay tuned...
