Got my boat put in Saturday and got a few hours trolling in before dark. After no ice...I was happy to finally catch a walleye! I was down to just a couple bags in the freezer...red alert!


This was today, got 8 fatties in 4.5 hours.

Nice!!! Great job Bryan. Hope to have my boat up there April 8. Seems like an eternity until it will get here. May have to hit a headboat 3-26 to help my withdraws. What was the hot lures? Keep it up and have a blast.

HAHAHA! Thanks!
The best lures that worked today was natural perch and wonder bread, fish were all over the water column (see pic) but  they only hit at 15 feet, and speed was 1.1 to 1.3 mph.

Thanks for the info Bryan. You were definitely marking fish, with some really nice size marks. Keep on them and slam them hard. I'll bet Nate is salivating almost as much as me. LOL

Weather looks good for this weekend so maybe you can finally get out again Bryan. Getting my boat out of storage this weekend and should have it up there next weekend for the season. Chomping at the bit to get up there again. Good luck if you make it out.

Finally got out today...but, this constant east wind is driving me nuts. Caught 8 today and I heard other guys on the radio were struggling too. Some guys were out hours longer and caught less...so I'm thankful for the ones we were blessed with today!
Trying again tomorrow!
