Here is a pic from this past Saturday. The fish was CPR'd while fishing a mid-lake hump with a jig and power shad. We were in 10' of water, mid-day and it was overcast. Anyone else experience mid-day bites under these conditions? Oh, yeah we caught fish casting cranks too. Nav

Nice one, Jon! Too bad the boy has his mouth covered. I'd like to see how wide that smile is! But I can see it in his eyes.

I like fishing the weeds for eyes. Some of my best days have been fishing shallow weed fish. Even on bluebird days.

Thanks Shep. Randy and his son Alex are from Texas and within 15 minutes were freezing cold!! Alex was having a blast catching fish though. Nav

Late May, June, and early July mid day weedline walleyes are a personal favorite of mine.I use plastics and jigs almost exclusively for them, and do very well. Nice shot, great fish!

Oh yeah!

Mid-day hump pumping has been very good to me! Nice fish Texan!

Sworrall, I'll have to dig up my Outdoor Notebook with my article "Cabbage Patch Fish" in it.
Think I wrote it 20 years ago, but all the precepts hold true today.
Walleyes in the weeds are there for one reason....TO EAT!
I used to catch 90% of my walleyes from mid May to mid Sept in cabbage patches in water 8-10 feet during all hours of the day in all kinds of conditions.
I'll dig a copy out and blow the dust off and send it to you.

It's still going strong for pike and eye's in the weeds pitchin' plastics! Expect to pick up those pesky bass and crappies doing this also. The Sanders (Duane, Blake & Cory) crew caught fish all day on Wednesday.
