I got tired of looking at that lure I made that looked like a turkey with leprosy so I sanded the siding off and started over. Just didn't want to waste an experiment with a scoop shaped lip. 12", basswood, one rattle chamber, aluminum lip, three pull positions.

I admire your imagination. All of your schemes are unique.

I tried something for walleye yesterday that worked immediately. Last week on Erie we casted spinner rigs let them sink and reeled slow. Tried it with a small weight in shallow water and boom hits on most casts. I made my own about 15" long tipped with half a crawler. Give it a shot next time your on the lake.

Thanks for the tip ToddM, I actually caught another walleye on spot X, about 4 1/2 pounds. Our problem is twofold, first Moses Lake just doesn't hold the numbers of fish that places like Lake Erie hold, and second the Irrigation Control District has had a program the last 5 years to poison out all the weed beds to make the water and jet skiers happy. Areas that used to hold fish in the spring consistently are now barren deserts. But then I've been retired for 20+ years and take a much more casual approach to fishing than I did in the past.

Sounds like other cover would be key then. The lake I fished the other day had no seeds just flat and bare.
