Al and I launched at Mardon's this morning and headed to the humps south of the dunes. We started with bottom bouncers and slow death rigs and initially got a couple of bullheads. We switched to #9 Flickershads to cover more water and finally found an occasional walleye and a couple nice largemouth bass. Mid mourning we switched back to bb and slow death rigs and landed 3-4 walleyes an hour. Dark colors worked best for us and 20-30 FOW is where we found fish. Most of the eyes were 15-16 inches with several 18+. We ended up with 20 eyes, 3 bass, 6 catfish and 3 crappie(all C&R). Water temp 60* and speed 0.9-1.3 MPH. We had almost identical numbers to our trip last Friday but the eyes were larger last week with the largest 25". Despite some periods of good white caps it was another great day on the water.
