[QUOTE="Vollmer, post: 449570, member: 8014"] Two of us fished the Tailrace, yesterday. We got there around 6:00 am and fished until around 6:00 pm. We cruised down to our first spot, in the dark, and got setup on an area we thought would be promising. We caught a couple of small males pretty quickly. We spent the entire morning in that area, cruising up river a bit, then slipping back little by little, rinsing and repeating. We caught quite a few smaller males, ranging from 12"-17". Around lunchtime we decided to go try out a few other spots, looking for other pods of walleye, and hoping for some bigger fish. While bopping around, we picked up a big sucker and a burbot, but no walleye. We finished the day back in our initial area. The area was still loaded with the small males. We got right back into catching, almost immediately. (never leave fish to find fish, as they say) We were using our electronics to locate pods of 3+ fish and casting at them. I was pitching a jig/minnow, and my buddy was casting a jig/plastic, all day. The catch rate was about 50/50 between the two setups. In the end, I would guess we boated over 60 walleye on the day. It was a REALLY nice day out, and I was quite surprised at the lack of boats that were there. We had that spot that we were in all to ourselves almost the entire day. I don't know if there was ever more than 10 boats on the water at one time. [ATTACH type="full"]75174[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
