[QUOTE="Allen, post: 262750, member: 389"] So the kids and I were going walleye fishing yesterday afternoon and as we hit the ramp I noticed a thunderstorm bearing down on us from about 45 minutes out (get a weather app with radar, it's great!). So not wanting to get caught on the water just minutes after putting in the boat, I decided to wait it out at the ramp and watch the sh!t-show as people scrambled to get off the water. After about ten minutes, the kids were fighting as only siblings can, so I scrounged up three rods to start tossing some daredevils at a spot where the pike generally oblige. Within 3 minutes, the kids had a nice double. [ATTACH=CONFIG]35741._xfImport[/ATTACH] A closer look at the lures of choice. [ATTACH=CONFIG]35742._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]35743._xfImport[/ATTACH] Within 20 minutes, the kids had caught 8 of these keepers, then we had to take a break as the t-storm passed overhead. [ATTACH=CONFIG]35744._xfImport[/ATTACH] Yeah, the bigger ones are 25-26 inches, but since I know they won't go to waste, I chose to let the kids keep their bigger fish. After the storm passed, it took almost an hour and a half to finish out our limit of 15 fish. May just be the first time I've ever drug my boat along to go fishing from shore. As I told the kids, this is by far the best I've ever done using spoons to catch walleyes where 12 of the 15 fish we kept were taken with spoons. Also caught two on a rapala and one on a jig/twister tail combo. Also C&R'd a pretty nice pike. Pretty good afternoon to play hooky from work.
