Walleye Trolling 3/29

[Capt Eric]

Worked the area around Mouse Is. Reef and Starve Is. Reef. Some fairly clean water, with a few real muddy streaks running though the area. Some decent marks, but couldn't pull any fish like I had there on Monday and Tuesday. Hadn't touched a rod by 11am so we picked up and ran west. Found a small pocket of fish near D can. VERY SMALL spot. Only about 200 yards wide, outside of that, no marks and and no strikes. Picked up 9 fish in a few hours out there, several of them real nice fish. Had one side set with high leads, and the other down deep. Lost a tanker early on that took a 90 foot lead.... other than that one, the long leads were kinda dead. Should have switched to shorter leads earlier, but they were catching small fish. Once we took a nice one up high, we switched them all up, and picked up the catch rate a little. Should have switched them sooner!

Bandits 45 back, slow speed 1.0 / 1.1 kts was best. Water was still pretty dirty out there.

Back at it again Saturday!
