    Default Mattoon 12-23-09

    Rain held off and I couldnt stand it so I went out to the lake at 230 and fished till dark. Found all 13 of these keepers on one brush pile. Was protected from the wind and caught all but 3 on the ol bobber cork. Love them killin bops. 9-11 ft deep in 10-12fow water temp was 34.7 Here is the picture for ya dad!



    here is a crappy cell phone picture of the hershey dog lookin over her catch

    ken- smallest was a little over 10" and biggest was about 12.25. Majority were about 10.5

    Jerry-thats a tough one. I think some ham is going to be in the picture but some crispy walleye with some fresh squeezed lemon juice on top is gonna be hard to pass up!

    IlliniGuy-welcome to the board! I was letting it sit for the most part with a slight jingle every 15 or 20 seconds
