Definitely the worst part of the river is getting hung up.  I will lighten the presentation, but probably pulling out of the walleye preferred range.  I'm going to give tubes a try again.  I do have some ned heads that are like 1/32 oz or whatever they are.  I'll give them a shot, might be able to get 3 casts instead of 1, before hanging up...  Half of the fun of fishing is coming up with different strategies to try to figure things out.

Not having a boat, catching keeper size walleyes has been quite the challenge for me, but I got my first two of 2022 over the weekend.  Have caught dozens of sub legal ones out of this particular waterway, so finally getting some keepers was pretty satisfying.  And delicious.  Caught these two plus one short within 15 minutes of when we started, then nothing for the rest of our outing there.  
 
My 12 year old son and I were messin around at Pymy Friday and Sunday evening, and both evenings got into white bass feeding frenzies wet wading a sandy flat that drops off to deep water.  Never saw anything like it before in freshwater.  Gulls were even diving at the bait being chased to the surface - guessing they were probably baby shad.  Most about a half pound, with a few pounders and a handful of 1.5.  Tons of 1-4# channel cats mixed in as well, and some short eyes.  Sure was fun for him and his buddy who went with us Sunday on light tackle.  Lost track of how many fish they caught Sunday evening.  
 
 

Sounds like some great times snagr! Glad you and the youngsters got into some!

Nice! I’ve heard that white bass will do that. I have seen the wipers do mini versions of it. Usually lasts about 30 seconds, then done though. When the baby gizzard Shad start to school up and skim the surface. Fun to watch, but would rather get into one like yours that they are biting.

Nice trip Snagr. 👌

Yeah, I've seen the 30 second wiper version at Arthur and make some futile attempts to capitalize on it when I see it.  One evening in October a couple years back in a shallow area, there was about 15 minutes of it and we got into some but they were all 12-14" fish.  
 
The white bass started well off shore in one big frenzy, and then as they get closer they broke off into smaller groups and the chasing becomes more sporadic, but they were going for a good 30-45 minutes off and on.  Even after the chasing stopped, they hung around and that's when the channel cats moved in.  Guessing they are conditioned to know they'll eat well as the clean up crew.    

Lake Erie is playing nice. Took the dogs out with us today. We went deeper looking for better quality eyes and found some but we got into steelhead so ended up sliding south a bit trying to avoid any more steel. Best bites (for eyes and steel) were dipsies with medium UV spoons. Mostly dark colors today. Had a blast boating the steel (ranged 22" to 27")

Fine kettle of fish. 😆

That’s a good box there - fire up the smoker and get the oil hot!

  "And to add to the debate... our boat has a 30 gallon box under the floor, we plumbed it as a live well but actually use it as a bleeding tank. Get fish out of net, cut gill feathers with kitchen shears, drop fish into tank and let it swim till it bleeds out. Then put them on ice.  Exchange water every 4 to 6 fish."
 
 They do look nice/clean and fresh the way you do them.
