North Report Walleye & Crappie

[bigfish1]

We launched at Bullfrog for a quick trip the 23rd & 24th. Weather was great 70's and mostly sunny. Fished between Goodhope and Moki. The first day we targeted just walleye and kept 24 that day. The 2nd day we mainly targeted bass,crappie and walleye and ended up keeping 15 of the bigger crappie and 10 of the eater size walleye. Water temp was in the 61-67 degree range. We ended up catching 10 different species. Lots of SMB & LMB. We bottom bounced for the walleye and threw small swimbaits the next day.
Good times, Larry

Nice work Larry!

You have the walleye dialed

Nice bunch of fish that will surely eat well! Wish I could duplicate the walleye and crappie catch, that would be special in my boat.

What types of areas are you catching the largemouth? Main Lake or in canyons?

We were catching LMB off areas near the main channel that had lots of rubble that had slid off cliff walls

By the way we were trying to get out of the wind on last Friday just east from the restroom near the bottom end of GHB when I looked at my screen I noticed the biggest underwater school of stripers I've ever seen. They were mainly small stripers. We couldn't help ourselves so we stopped and threw on some jigging spoons for about a half hour. We caught and released probably 50-60 stripers before getting tired of catching them

That’s a whole lotta stripers! Fun to see the screen light up like that.

I usually fish jigs, drop shots and cranks in those areas for bass. Catch more smallmouth than largemouth but I do catch plenty in those areas.

That is a lot of stripers. Some trips I struggle to find a school of any size. I would love to stumble into a school that big. Thanks for sharing

That is a massive school of stripers. I didn't see anything close to that on my graph a couple weeks ago.
