sunday smackdown

[jimmythegreek]

Fished a northern NJ reservoir from 530am til 3pm sunday. Started off w some dink sammies and a few decent largies early on hitting structure on shorelines. Late morning did a slow troll to deeper water. Nailed this beauty walleye (PB) on a shad rap jointed.

In deeper water we slip lined herring a few feet down as we watched smallies blowin up bait for hours in deep water. About a dozen 2lbs plus and a few 1-2lbs. pics to prove we did it

Nice fish. Been thinking of getting a fishfinder. What model are you using. Does it help you catch fish. Do you recommend it. Thanks Bruce

I have a 998 w side and down imaging on the bow. It changed the way I fish honestly. Was big bucks tho. I have a 595 on the console that is a nice color basic w gps and its good to for what it is. Its pretty hard to guess the depths of water or use lures/weights to feel the bottom. I can see the thermocline w both of them in the summer months, and if you cant see it and fish deeper than it, u are just wasting your time might as well cast in ur pool

Nice fish Jimmy!.......So that explains that fresh Walleye head you left right near the boat launch........Did we see you out there?......no way we could have missed you as we were there same time(but left an hour later)

[jimmythegreek]

thanks alot guys......I actually released that fish, I havent kept any fish all year, she was a female and we need breeders in the water! when I left there wasnt anything there so musta been someone elses guts lol. I was on the lookout for peeps but didnt see anyone I recognized or any boats from the site. I was over by the dam from 1130 til I left in the deeper water. My boat is a burgundy and tan 17' LOWE says it in big letters on the side. Which boat were u guys in Mitch? Always say hi if u see me out there!
