I also experienced that Saturday night. Got on the water at 8, by 9:30 I had a largemouth, a pickerel, and a rock bass on plastics. By 10:30 I had a 20 inch walleye and lost another, thinking it was just another clump of weeds. Herring dancing started at midnight, a few blow-ups but not a ton, and not another touch for me before I left at 4am. Was a good time, but thought I was in for a banner night. Even tried floating a live herring with no love. Squatch you probably didn't miss much after 1:30.

1. What's up with all the floating weeds? Can't even work topwater without plucking stuff off the lure every other cast
2. How do you keep those herring alive? I had two usable survivors out of a dozen, and I changed the water every 30 min or so.
3. How do you get fish to hit a lure when there is real bait everywhere? It gets my adrenaline going and I never want to leave when I know fish are chasing bait around me, but it always seems to shut the lure bite off for me, whether I'm slow-working a stickbait or throwing a popper.
