If your not fishing for Walleye in the Western Basin just out in front of Turtle Creek and Green Cove, you are missung the best fishing of the year. I took my limit in about two hours. I hooked seven fish before I put my limit in the cooler. I startede out using a perch colored chicada or blade bait. I caught one fish and had a couple of others on. I heard someone on the radio say they were using a blue jig and really killing them. I switched over to a blue sided chicada with red eyes. I hooked one on the first

jig. I ended up hooking about 7 more before I put my limit of 4 in the cooler. I saw someone netting a fish about eny time I looked around. The fish run about 3 to 4 pounds. I heard of some q10 pounders being taken out in deeped water, but I don't like to catch females. I want them to spawn for the next few years and besides they are not as good eating as the smaller males.
