Monday's walleye action started out slow as most spots we caught fish on Sunday produced either nothing or just a few small ones. Boating nothing but 13 to 14 inchers in the morning, we switched tactics, going from the deeper mud and river channels to shallow water paid off for us. Working 4 to 5 feet of water over submerged stumps and rocks, we found 2 good eyes ranging from 18 to 20 inches along with some hefty smallies. Also had 3 other nice eyes on that never made it to the boat. We then tried a wind blown bog with lots of wood and found another quality eye and a few more smallies along with a hefty 21 inch largemouth. We then added three 14 inchers to the live well to finish our limits and called it a day. All our fish were taken with 1/8 ounce Reeves weedless jigs tipped with large fatheads.

Back out today, will keep you posted.

Don,

All of your reports say youre using fatheads. Would it be crazy/stupid to just bring worms next week on my week long trip? Or woudl you highly recommend bring at least some minnows?

Bogs that I talk about are the floating type, all are grounded unless the water rises then they can drift to a different area with strong winds blowing, that happened when the tornado moved through, it moved a good number of them.

I highly recommend you bring mostly fatheads and some worms (Crawlers).
