Its March 30, and you would think the weather has warmed up by now. NOPE!!! not even close. This is one of the only days this past week that there has been blue skies and its not windy and freezing outside, so I decided I had to get out somewhere. I had heard that a few Walleyes had been taken around Lincoln Beach so I went there. I am new to Walleye fishing but I can't believe that they are not biting yet this year, I have still yet to catch one. I got out to Lincoln Beach around 5:00 P.M. and the weather was great! Surprisingly there was no wind (usually very windy out there in the evenings) the blue sky was out and I was excited. I threw on my waders and waded out on the north point of West Mountain. I was very surprised with how deep the water was in the lake. Between this year and last year I would say that the 7 year drought we have been in is over. I waded out chest deep which was about 100-200 ft. less than you could have went 2 years ago and started fishing! I was rigged with two curly tailed jigs with 1/4 oz. weight, one with bright orange and the other with chartruese green and white. I found out quickly that this was to much weight and I was snagging dragging bottom. (in future downsize with two jigs to 1/8 oz. weight). I decided to use one jig, the green and white one. I threw this at them for almost an hour until I finally caught a nice sized White Bass. The White Bass are sure showing some size this year! I continued to throw this jig until almost sundown with no more success and then left. At least I didn't get skunked! Yes! I broke the skunk streak! Still no Walleye up to this point.
