[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 94287, member: 367"] About 35 years ago I got to Devils Lake just in time for the evening bite, I drilled a hole and dropped a swedish pimple under a bobber and started drilling another hole and tried getting the house set up. It was non stop walleye action that wasn't ending but just getting better so I couldn't get anything done, It was getting dark and cold so I quit fishing and got set up. I had 3 on the ice about 6 pounds each by the time I got set up and they just kept biting faster and the fish kept getting bigger out one hole and down the other. By 11:30 or so they finally quit I had Caught and released over 80 walleyes many 6-7 and 8 pounders. I threw the biggest and smallest ones back and cleaned my limit of 6 and 7 pounders. Almost identical situation within a year or two on Sakakawea one summer when my boys were about 8 and 9 . We were jigging and slow trolling with my big ol 21' fiberglass boat and a 2 HP trolling motor in a shallow mud flat bay. when my Ted Williams flasher lit up solid like I had never saw before. Walleyes stacked up like firewood and on a frenzie, Drop a jig over the side and just under the boat , BAM .one after the other like that. We had our limit and the Kids quit because it was getting too dark and I was flasher blind so I shut it off and got rid of the spots I was seeing and here the front of the boat was in the mud, We had sat in one spot churning mud and catching walleyes for a little while but I don't know how long.
