We never casted for walleyes before so thought we would see how that works. Bought 2 dozen crawlers and set up on the east side of Crib Reef before sunrise. We used various colors of crawler harnesses with 1 oz weights.
It was a feeding frenzy! I couldn’t sit down for 90 minutes because we were landing so many fish. None of them were walleyes but my wife had a blast fighting catfish and freshwater drum.
I also tried the Acme hyper rattle and Kalin search baits there. Had one hit on the search bait but nothing at all on the hyper rattle.
We could see a pack of 40 boats over at D can so when our crawlers were gone, we moved over there and started perching with spreaders and shiners. It was hot by then though, so the bite was slow. We caught a few perch there but decided to head back west.
We would motor for a bit to cool off in the breeze and then stop and pick up a couple perch and then motor some more and repeat. After several hours were at A can. My wife did land an 18″ walleye there on a perch rig. Ended the day keeping 21 perch, 1 walleye, 8 tasty drum and 8 catfish.
