Anybody help a weekender?

I was up this past weekend around PiB… we had limits each time out in fairly short order trolling hot ‘n tots and shallow diving bandits on braid spinning rods. Few fish in the 20-24” range but mostly good eaters. Fished the edge of depth changes around well known local reefs around PiB and we caught most of ours in the 12-15 FOW range. Caught fish both in AM and evening starting around 5pm. Best colors were darker… copper/olive with orange underside.

@shane, were you using hot'n tots on boards and all that jazz or just straight trolling them? My dad used to troll those guys way back in the day when the casting bite was 0 and I have a ton of them left from his box! I have never been sure how affective they would be with my setup (i am really not setup for dialed in trolling, just forward, neutral, forward, neutral, etc.). What depth do you think they were running, how far back, etc.?

3 man limit both Saturday & Sunday…few miles due East of the KI airport in 42 FOW. Speed 2.4-2.6. N ->S trolling direction. spoons & spoon harnesses targeting 30-34ft depth did the trick Saturday & rapala jointed minnows J7s behind dipsys did the trick on Sunday. Saw a bug species I’ve never seen before—greenish yellow lady bugs everywhere.

Good Morning. Yesterday morning (8/3), me and the the wife went out and fished East of the dumping grounds north of Cedar Point. We trolled stinger spoons behind jets, 36 to 42 feet of water. I also took GoBucks advice and slowed down between 1.9 to 2.1/2.2 on the gps. we didn't get out on the water until 8 am had caught 9 walleye 7 nice keepers by 10am. ran the lines back between 90 to 150. the deeper the better so we ended up at 135 back to 150 back ... At 10 ish my wife said "im getting tired an need a nap" hahaha. So we finished at about 10:30 and as I was reeling in the rods, the last one hit before I got to it so I picked up another keeper. Ended the morning with 8 nice keepers.. Hope this helps the group...
