Bob Devine Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 The water temps are starting to warm and the walleyes are getting ready to spawn. I hit the D-R this morning while the sun was shinning and landed 3 quick walleyes 6.5#- 6# and 4.5#. The forecast is showing rain every other day so it may be hit or miss as anglers dodge the rain. I was using a 1/2oz jig and a Bio Bait minnow in a smelt pattern. Peak runs will be in about 2-3 weeks as fish now are pre-spawn and as the water temps warm the fish will become more aggressive. Early season is usually best for big fish and as mid April comes around it will be a mixed bag of both numbers and a few big walleyes. I have included a picture of my fish finder to show you my jig bouncing off the bottom of the river, I fished a bit shallower to emphasize the picture of the jig. Good electronics are key.

trapshooter Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nice stradic/Legend Tournament combo there... not to mention the fat pig walleye. Real pale coloured fish down there eh. If I lived nearby I'd be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisco Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks for the update Bob. Thursday is looking to be a decent day with a little less wind (10 S) so I'm hoping to get out there for the 1st time this year. One of the advantages to working afternoon shift I guess. Just looked at you sonar, 45 degs its timeeeeeeee ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moemoe Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nice Fish Bob....Who makes Bio bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abberz Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 The colour of those walleye are crazy....they all look the same, at least the ones I've seen on here, tv, etc. Around here....back lakes, BOQ you get some pale ones, some dark gold ones, but you can tell a Detroit River walleye forsure! Are they just as tasty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
