Has anyone ever seen walleyes come up to top of weed clumps and just sit there on a sunny day?

I have it was a sight to remember they were all about 18" to 20" on a west shore weed bed on Winnebago last year.

Hey Split Shot,
I have seen this with Walleye, Smallmouth, Largemouth, Muskie and Northern.
I don't exactly know why but I have seen this several times. I have also seen 'eyes sitting in big pockets in the weeds, about weed top level, right out in open water.
Can't catch em, but I have seen and spooked em.
Have fun.....R

This year shortly after the walleyes spawn in natural lakes if you know of any shallow sand bars in your lake, sneak up on them very carefully. With a quality pair of polarized glasses, you will be amazed how many walleyes you will see soaking up the rays!
