Decided to hit the caney today about noon launched from the boat ramp below the Carthage bridge over the Cumberland and headed way up the caney probably farther than I should have went. The water hadn't fallen yet so we motored all the way up to bettys island and smith fork yeah we took a 18ft deep v stratos all the way to bettys the whole time heading up I was super alert because I knew what the depth normally is which isnt much in places but we made it there no problem.
We started fishing there at the mouth and nada the water was warmer and clearer at the mouth of the creek but no good marks on the sonar so we decided to motor up to the head of the island and float down the narrow side where we had seen some good browns before but fished the whole way down and nada water was still moving quick even at full trust back trolling we were still drifting a good 1.4mph so we headed down river a ways fishing the bluffs and picked up a dink 10" small jaw that broke the skunk but no more bites so we continued on down to dripping rock bluff got there around sunset and started fishing the bluff and about the 4th cast I hook up and it felt like another snag until the thing shook its head and then I knew it was a good fish but still didnt know what it was, it came up and I thought it was a striper but no, it came up again by the boat and turned out to be a walleye! I had my buddy grab the net and after a good 3-4 min fight on 6lb test we put a beautiful 25" walleye in the net. Fish had spawned out no eggs or fish milk lol. This is the third time out ive caught a big fish and nothing really else lol well thats fishing I guess.
till next time good luck and happy fishing everyone!
