Thanks for your answer. I know that in the spring, there are big walleyes in the Cherokee Marsh. Do you happen to know if some of them stay all year round there ...more or do they mosey on back to Lake Mendota?
Forget that I live in Florida now. Are you fishing outside edges of weedlines (which if I remember correctly go down to about 16 feet in Mendota) or are you fishing ...more in shallower areas of the lake such as by the Middleton shore?
I got big reaction bites doing a series of 3 or more small, quick pulls on the lure right after it hit the water (with a little line retrieve in between each)....
I am a big fan of the whopper plopper after trying it out this week. Love the sound on the musky sized one too, though didn't hook up with that one, but the ...more bass size netted more than one for me.
