Last time we hit big Swarts we had bass hitting our weed less frogs for 2 straight hours in the lillies. Of course being new to it, we couldn't set the hooks !!!

We tried little Swarts a few weeks ago and got the skunk, so we are itching to try big again lol. We will definitely try live bait deep and I think we will hit the same spot where the bass were hitting with some Texas Rigged Senkos, I heard they are easier to hook up.

Thanks guys !!

Fish MONSTER LEDGE, both points, with the herring or you can try finessing them out on various jigs. Look for the rock piles and fish around them. High sun means the walleye could be deeper than normal. It's not abnormal for a Swartswood Eye to be in 40 feet of water this time of year. I haven't fished for Eyes there in 2 years but can show you stacks of pics of Walleye from 3-10 years ago. Fishing now through December can be quite epic. Many, many limits pulled out of there by yours truly. All fish caught off land to boot, jigging.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Is that a drop off in Swartswood? If so I don't know where it is and do not have a depth finder.

Plus we aren't really targeting walleye, we're more in the market for bass, pickerel, perch. I don't want even to get into muskie yet because I hear it takes lots of dedication and know-how to hook up to one of those bad boys.
