I found the fish after driving around at 26mph for 2hrs with not a single mark on the humminbird. When I did finally mark fish, they were there big time. Empty screen = no catching, which isn't always the case. Running at that speed to eliminate water is super key. It allowed me to eliminate a ton of water very quickly. You don't want to be the guy that just follows a pack of boats or relies on a internet report...high speed graphing is the best way to find your OWN fish.
The "hot bite" did seem to move from day to day a little bit, as the water one day was chocolate milk and gin clear the next. We caught our fair share of fish from the super clear water (including 2 over 12lbs), but the chalky colored water was the magical color. The hot color seemed to shift from hour to hour, but Husky Jerks and Reef Runners were the go to baits each day.
My buddy Jan from the Czeck Republic was kept busy the last two days, as we handled at least 50 fish per day. It was amazing that some of the walleye tackle he took back last year worked really well on the Zander he has near his house. If you ever get over that way, Zander also love Eriedescent Reef Runners.
