These walleye were caught on ledges. Casting three baits on each spot before moving. A Megabass flap slap, then the spark shad, then the custom tinsel tail jig . Fish all three close to the bottom near ledges. These fish hug the bottom.

Lake is 23.6 ft below normal, but the fishing was HOT from the rocks next to the Twin Peaks area. Walleye and crappie were both biting on a Karl’s Thwacker lipless crankbait on straight 15lb Berkeley braid. Switched to white rooster tail and caught more crappie, channel cat, and striped bass. The lipless had the best bite of the day though. I included a very similar bait that is available through Omnia. Will definitely be fishing here again.
