    Default 6/23/18 report


    My wife and I had the afternoon to ourselves . 2-6 pm The lake we chose had a no wake issued water level was up 2 ft my guess. Water surface temp was 76-78 deg. Slight wind out of the south 5-7mph. Partly cloudy. The plan was to fish walleye, in that plan was to pull spinner rigs or pull cranks. But with the high water there were a LOT of weeds on the surface.

    So pull spinnrs is what we stuck with. Boat speed was between 0.8 and 1.2 mph The weed line was running 8-10 ft and that was where I tried to run . Should have changed sinkers from ⅜ down to a ⅛ oz to float over the weeds better. My wife's favorite spinner color is pink and purple tipped with a leech. I started with blue and gold, switched to yellow and orange with half a crawler.

    We put close to 30 sheephead, one 17 1/2 walleye, a few nice sunnies and a perch in the boat. The wife had a Pike about 20' on it saw the boat made a run and was gone.

    Rods used : 7' Berkeley cherry wood med heavy
    Reels used: Okuma ignite it-30
    Line used : Sufix pro mix 8 lb clear
    Spinners: combo of JB lures and homemade

    I knew what you meant with sheephead, some call them gaspergou or just plain goo's the further south you go. Heard croakers as well, but all my life we have always just called them drum. On a more important note, you said you boated 30 of them sapsuckers y'all eat them or release em'?
