Hello Everyone!
I hope everyone was able to get through yet another long, hard winter. For the 3rd year in a row, a group of buddies and I are coming up to the TFF for a week of camping and walleye fishing over Memorial weekend! Slowly but surely we have developed a nice routine to pick up a few walleyes here and there. Still not much for size, as our biggest walleye last year was about 15 inches. Our main tactic to catching these fish is to toss a small jig, tipped with a fathead at some shoreline structure, almost always wood. The deepest depth we have fished at is 6 or 7 feet, which could be why why haven't had too much luck for size. So, what types of structures and depths do you TFF veterans look for when you're looking to get into a bigger fish or two? And also, has anyone had any success on pitching plastics to shore? If so, what colors have worked?
Also, I have heard that it is now legal to troll on the TFF this year. Is this true? Are there any certain rules/regulations/restrictions to that? Or is it 100% open to troll at any time?
Thank you,
Travis B
