Fished south of point 3 today for walleye. Ended up with 4 keeprs, one that was 7lb 5 oz. Threw and trolled crankbaits in 5-12 feet of water. The 7+ pounder was caught trolling over a steep break off a point. This is the biggest walleye I have ever caught, and I’ve been to Canada many times. Another boat was trolling the same point with me and they ended up with 4 walleye. I saw one they caught that had to be at least 4 pounds. I’m doing nothing but walleye fishing for the month of June. I believe the last time the lake flooded was back in 2002. The following year produced good numbers of walleye. With last year’s flood, and this year’s flood, I think fishing for all species will be good for years to come. They are hard to find in the flooded water, but in my opinion, these floods are a good thing. This fall will be unbelievable for crappie. I caught limits in less than 1 hour in October and November last year, with several fish over 12 inches. I think we could see fish in the 13-14 inch range this fall. I had a few last fall that were 13 inch black crappie. They had some serious sholders.

Nice fish Fred, can you tell me how long that one was? The bass and walleye have been good with the high water and crank baits on the points is the way to go. Good luck next time and let us know how you did.
That is an awesome walleye!!
Don,
Just shy of 27 inches.
Nice Walleye Fred. We need to keep in touch and talk fishin! Headin’ to Vermillion Lake for a week Friday - can’t wait!
Hey Todd! Thought you fell off the face of the earth. Where have you been? Drop me a line after you get back and let me know how you did. Let’s get out on Shelbyville before June is over and see if we can catch some walleye!! Chirs has my cell number.
That does not look like a 7lb fish, but it is a nice one.
