Made a last minute trip with my dad and his friend up to the fox river in depere to try and catch some big walleyes. we started out around 5pm fishing some mud flats with only one 20 incher to show for it. as it was getting dark we headed to the dam and anchored. we proceeded to cast flicker shads and shad raps. well from about 6pm till midnight we only managed 6 walleyes which is unusual as we usually do pretty good around dusk. 1 am came and it was like a light switch the fish turned on and we caught fish steady until we left at 7am. had a really good flurry going from 5:30 until 6:30am where we caught around 25 in that stretch. between the 3 of us we managed around 50 walleyes with myself catching 2-27 inchers which were both 7.5lbs and both caught on flicker shads. firetiger or black silver were the best colors. water temp was 48 and there were only 15 or so boats around all night which is unheard of this time of year at depere where there are usually 40-50 boats.
