Went out at 8 this morning with a stiff NE wind blowing, hoping to find the fish my buddy told me about on Friday when he got 24 in two hours in 4fow. Yep that's what I said..4fow? Started shallow but we didn't find them until we got out to nice stained water in 5-6fow. When we got on them we went from 5 fish to 16 in two passes. Crawlers,1.5sog with a 1/2oz snap sinker 8 feet out from the board did the damage. Oh we also got 5 decent sized pike. A blast fishing that shallow for them. Pic of my 8.

That's awesome! Any size to the pike? I'd have kept them instead of the glass eyed carp!

Good job Gary and crew! So many overlook the shallow slamfest during soft and hard water every yr. Gotta go the farthest/deepest mentality gets me everytime!

I told cuz " there's a guy on MS that would rather eat them then the walleye, he calls them glass eyes carp" but couldn't get him to put one in the live well. I did hear him say monster snot rockets though. Two of them were probably six pounds or so Ralph.

Thanks Brian, I look forward to the shallow bite up here every year since I have moved up this way.

My buddy whacked em in I'm guessing the same area Friday in 6'. I found some good stained water on the way there Saturday, sat down and got em all by my lonesome.

I hear ya, its a blast nailing em in shallow! I rarely fish deep. Most that time will be in anothers boat so its their call. My boat or sled hardly goes to deep water. Zero complaints of catching what I am looking for in the shallows! Saves time, gas, wear n tear on gear. Most of time less crowds. Win win 95% time
