This weekend the fishing we have been waiting for finally showed up. It was an absolute blast to be on Green Bay this weekend.
Congratulations to Scott and Brad for their great win, and all of the teams that fished the Fox River Spring Walleye Classic, everyone had great catches of fish and an even better time catching them. Saturday my partner and I caught over 60 fish with numerous doubles, a couple triples, and even a quadruple header! We had a decent bag of 21.68 pounds, which would land us in 21st place. The fishing was
absolutely fantastic but we never did land the big bites we had which would have placed us in the top five, but
THAT'S JUST FISHING. Thank you Karl and Randy for putting on such a great event, which is by far my favorite tournament to fish, I'm already looking forward to next year!
Our baits of choice were crawler harnesses, trolled at a target depth of 4-7 feet of water at lead lengths of 35-55 feet behind Offshore planer boards. Our speeds varied from .9-1.2 mph. The color blades which worked best for us were from
Fishlander, #6 gold blades in Perch patterns tied with green and gold beads, at one point we had four of these spread
thoughout six lines.
Look for fishing to be spectacular over the next few weeks. There is an awesome year class of 20-23 inch fish in the Green Bay system. Everyone be safe and good luck, if you need a better report feel free and call me at (920) 660-7275.
