Spent some time on the river below the Dells dam on Sunday. We arrived around 10:30am and fished until dusk. Overall, the bite was pretty slow but despite that, we actually had two doubles. The first double occurred shortly after we setup. Kevin Clark pulled in a very nice 19-3/4" walleye that drilled a chartreuse/pepper colored ringworm from B'Fish'N Tackle and I hooked up with a 19-1/4" walleye on a split shot/minnow rig.
Around 12:30pm, a dandy slot walleye drilled my ringworm from B'Fish'N Tackle. This fish just crushed an oystershell colored ringworm from B'Fish'N Tackle. She had the entire bait so far in here mouth that nothing was visible until we pried her jaws apart. No worries though, she was returned unharmed right after posing for this photo.
After that though, the bite shut off for us and we spent the next couple hours cruising around looking for another bunch of active fish. We did find some more active fish but unfortunately, some were just to small and the others were the wrong species.
A pair of smallies decided to provide the second double of the day for Kevin Clark & I. Both came on ringworms. This time I was casting a Firecracker colored ringworm & Kevin was throwing a Fire-N-Ice/chartreuse tail ringworm, both from B'Fish'N Tackle.
Mean while, Kevin Sime, the third guy in our boat, managed to pull in a couple of shorties vertical jigging with a gold/cracker colored ringworm. (that was between taking pictures for us)
A bit later in the day, Kevin Clark pulled in our last decent walleye which also hammered a ringworm. I'm not sure what color he was using by that time. We went thru at least two dozen different colors by that time.
Tough day or not, it was nice to get back out on the river below the dells again.
