Hey guys, I agree Moses and usually potholes jigging is the way to go for 'eyes.Last time I fished Scooteney I only used a 1/16 oz(black/ chart.)jig and got many 'eyes, bass , good sized perch, enough crappie for a big fry, and the largest bluegill I've ever seen. For some reason trolling works best for me at Banks when chasing walleye. later

Yeah Slab, the mornings were really calm but just after noon every day the wind picked up and made it a little harder to fish. You don't have quite as much feel when jigging when the wind is blowing so hard. The slip float idea sounds awesome. We will have to try that one next time we are there. And youre right about catching bigger walleye when fishing structure. We didn't see any trollers catching fish that had much size but with the jigs on the rocky dropoffs we were pulling in some real nice sized fish.

I didn't make it to Moses this spring as I had some things come up but I am going to try and head over towards the end of June and either fish Moses or The Potholes. I did well last year at Moses, 2nd week of May, with a slip float, a gold aberdeen hook and a plain old leech. I found a little ditch on the north end flats that was about 9ft deep while the rest was 6-7. I anchored up and sat there and you'd have thought I was committing murder by all the glares I was getting. I think I interrupted their trolling pattern!:p

we were getting a good number of glares when we were anchored too. I like to think it was because we were catching more fish that everybody else. Sounds like I really need to go back over and try out that slip float rig. We talked to a couple people that said leeches were the way to go but we did pretty well with the grubs tipped with worm. I dont think I will ever try and troll again though. It is just way more fun to throw jigs.
