Lake Thompson

[Tracker Sucks]

Did anyone fish Lake Thompson on Saturday, April 17th? I fished from 7:30am-2:30pm and caught 1 walleye and 1 northern. We tried almost everything. Casted jig/minnow and cranks shallow, vertical jigged jig/minnow in 8-15 feet, ran lindy rigs and floaters, and pulled plugs. Nothing seemed to work. If you fished Thompson and caught fish, what did you use that worked? According to my graph, the surface water temp was 50 degrees so I am sure the walleyes are very close to the spawn.

Fished Thompson on Saturday. The action was ok. Between my partner and I, we caught about 10 walleyes. Nothing too big. We didn't keep many. We caught a couple vertically jigging, but had the best luck drifting with Lindy Rigs in about 18 feet of water by the State Park. Saw one boat catching them left and right while drifting, but couldn't see what they were using.

I was there also, I used Lindy Rig with floating jig heads, caught my fish west off of the old north Shore store, east of the north west boat ramp, 12 ft water.
