4/13/15 The Hunt for Spring Walleyes

After work, Mike and I headed to a northern Indiana lake in search of some early spring Walleyes. We got on the water at about 5:30 and fished till about 10. It was an extremely windy day which made fishing difficult and at times the waves bouncing off of concrete breakwalls was making it downright uncomfortable on the water. Before long we found a relatively sheltered area and began to catch fish. Most of these fish were caught up shallow on crankbaits. The fish were tucked tight to the shoreline. I ended up catching 2 short Walleyes both of which were just over 13'' in length. I also caught 6 bass the nicest of which is pictured below. Mike did well on the Walleyes with 4 to the boat, 3 of which were decent sized fish. It was a fun trip and I can't wait to catch more Walleyes in the near future.
