Got out of that area and the first fish of the night was a 22" walleye. The rest of the night was nothing but small stripes in the 18-22" sizeframe. We did manage to get 9 in the boat and I did hook into 2 others that were definitely keepers but didn't get them in. Oddly, most were getting hooked in the side of the face not in the mouth. Red/White Redfin is what they liked. 1030-1130 was when most of the activity happened. Very little shad flippin activity. I'm sure the full mood didn't help matters.
