It's not often that I can catch a big brown and a big post spawn walleye out of the same spot while shore fishing.
Only for a short time in May if the river stage is just right !

Don't like the weather, just wait a bit...but don't wait too long or the wind will pick back up.
I knocked the dust off the riggers and trolling gear for a quick after work trip before the winds get nuts again. I've forgotten how much I love those spring kings in cold water. Fog was thick for first few hours, then wind switched and cleared things up, then it was pea soup in the dark back to the pierheads. Good times.

Nice Kings @Steelsearchin.
That rainbow spoon is huge compared to what we usually pull, is that the typical size you use all year?

I won't speak for @Steelsearchin but that looks like a Mag size warrior. I'm typically running half the spread or more at Mag size if the kings are in. The fish I caught Monday were spitting up 4 and 5 inch alewives. Match the hatch and whatnot.

Just a standard MI Stinger Stingray (center), but we caught fish on mags too (bottom).
Top spoon is a Jr silver streak and I'll run those earlier in the year for browns and coho.
That shows scale a lot better, for some reason it looked gigantic in the fish pic, maybe because of how the spoon was extended straight out.
Mainly spoons for you guys or flasher/fly, meat rigs etc?

Yeah that pic does make it look weird. Yesterday was all spoons. Pulled two flasher flies all night with no rips. Haven't heard any action on meat rigs yet so left that stuff at home, but we do run them at times.
What state are you fishing in? Great day of fishing. Ive had northerns do the same thing.

Booked a charter while on vacation, not on fire, but caught a couple baracuda and some Mahi.
Fresh Mahi and mojitos for dinner this evening.

So when I was at my Louisiana camp last week I was able to get one of my boats past the clutter in my garage 
, and make a fishing trip down to Calcasieu. Had a great trip with 10 keeper speckled trout from 14-24". The bigger ones hit a jerk bait and the rest a small jig while fishing under birds. There was some topwater action early but never got one hooked up despite multiple blowups. The 24" fish put up an awesome fight with numerous jumps and even a extended tail walking moment with gills flared. Also had about 10 undersized fish. Trout limit in Louisiana is a generous 15 with 13" minimum.

Women can be funny sometimes.
Not ha-ha funny, more like they don't make sense. She actually said "Why did you need another boat?". There's only 7 at the camp, and one is my brother's so that doesn't count. And just 6 more at the house, how is this an issue? [Correction, there's actually 7 at my house]

My wife dropped me off at the lake to fish for the afternoon. After nightfall a bear started harassing me, so I went up to the main road to try and hitchhike out off there - no cell reception, but the first vehicle to come by was my wife 
Spinners and spoons, landed one more after dark.

Snuck in some walleyes before the wind warnings and smoke rolled in. Might be testing out some of those Borderlands recipes on these ones.

Nice! In Texas, our limit after the last “big” freeze got dropped to 3 n 15”-20” only…not even worth running to the Land Cut any moreSo when I was at my Louisiana camp last week I was able to get one of my boats past the clutter in my garage

Yeah, I think Texas overreacted to the freeze event. I'll be in Galveston next month for a week and would still be happy if I could catch 3 trout a day, some years I get skunked.

We did ok last weekend at the Packery Channel Jetty in Corpus Christi. The Beach to Bay Marathon was on so it was packed n many roads were closed so we couldn’t get where we wanted to go until late n the shrimp at the bait stands were minuscule. Turned up 3 reds, 1 black drum, 1 trout, some Spanish Macks, n nice sized bluefish (for there) in 2 evenings. Shrimp worked if it lasted long enough before bait fish tore them up. Spanish n blues were hitting a casting spoon. Should’ve focused more on catching mullet for bait than using the shrimp or went strictly artificial.
Good luck
