While using artificials 100% of the time, we struggled to catch 1 stud brown and 2 legal walleye and a sub-legal Pike this weekend. Only moved 1 musky and had 3 very nice browns follow us in but no dice. Caught plenty of 6-9 inch freshly stocked rainbows on baits as large as they were.
It was very tough in my boat this weekend and not sure why.
