Message: <blockquote data-quote="guywhofishes" data-source="post: 177806" data-attributes="member: 337">hang leeches under slip bobbers outside LARGE WALL weed beds - 14-20FOW... about 4 feet off the bare bottom or 2 feet above if weeds.If panfish or rockbass are hassling you then move over/deeper. After trial/error you WILL find places that yield large bass and walleyes and relatively few panfish. Buy a 1/2 lb of lake run eeches so that you don't lose confidence and you can just keep searching. If you have an underwater camera then take it with you and look for agitated walleyes and target them with slip bobbers and leeches.Last weekend galwhofishes and I went to Big Cormorant on Saturday - same day that the crazy Rock Out with Your Dock Out gig was on Big C. HOLY MOLY for boat/pontoon/jetski traffic! Our primary reason for being there wasn't fishing or partying - but before we left we decided to fish for a couple hours  (we used to hit Big C a lot and we know some old spots). At 1:00 or so on a hot sunny day we caught a 17", two 19"s, and a 21" smack dab in the traffic, waves, heat.... fishing just for kicks really - not a serious effort. While galwhofishes was catching those all on her own I was pitching plastics and getting lots of big northerns (for MN) and nice SM bass. I was trying to get the walleyes going on pitch baits but they are very wily it seems on the plastics. We had moved maybe 5 times to get out of the panfish. We were maybe 10 ft out from the weed wall.I had forgotten how good MN walleye fishing was IF you figure out what makes them tick. They are not like ND walleyes that's for sure. A lot of my MN/walleye friends will lindy rig with plain leeches and crawlers for them outside weed edges. But I HATE dragging things around slowly as most know. And how they deal with perch and gills is beyond me.- - - Updated - - -[ATTACH]15155[/ATTACH]the 21... or maybe it was 22.
