I had very little time to fish today. A friend and his son visiting from Wisconsin had just three hours to tag along this morning, as we took a stab at some walleye action on the Bay. After setting up and with travel time we had about two hours fishing time. We stopped at Bay View for a non-resident license and some bait. I had a machine and a sled available to get us out near the mouth of the Esky River, so we fished there. My friend landed a 25" slab sided walleye on a #5 Clown Jigging Rap tipped with a minnow tail. Depth: 24 feet. The fish was very chunky and solid for this length. I filleted it and found it was a large male. Its stomach was empty, which surprised me since it looked like it must have been stuffed with gobies or something. We missed at least one other fish.
