CG_Fishes Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I came home Friday, excited to fish my rivers for the first time since last fall. Temps dropped 20° and we got a bunch of rain as I fished but I just couldn't get bit. I eventually made it to my last spot, and on one of my last casts with the 5" draft I felt that characteristic thump of a Walleye. As if I hit a brike wall, with no fight afterwards. In came this 24" fish, which is my second biggest Walleye to date. Always a treat to catch these fish, I just don't do it enough. Hoping I'll find a 30+ one day but still so much to learn! kookfarmer, porkmeatballs, FishDr and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Nice walleye! The Magdraft seems to be a favorite of the big marble eyes. CG_Fishes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the magdraft and its cousins the magslowl and deadslowl seem to be money in my waters. I have caught them on the 5", 6" and 7". No strikes on the 8" yet but I'm sure it's bound to happen with the right fish. I want to try a wedge tail like a real prey for them sometime as well FishDr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatKidInNY Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 Awesome fish Conner! Lighting it up as usual! Just a matter of time before a 30incher shows up. CG_Fishes and FishDr 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
