Walleye near the islands?

[Capt Juls]

Got a late start Sunday morning 8/9/20 and ran to the same spot east of Gull island shoal that we fished Thursday. Two fishermen, four rods, this time with all bandits. Got 3 nice fish in first 20 minutes then nothing. Made a few more passes and eventually got 5 more Walleye. We had a self imposed time limit and finished with those 8 Walleye all in the 22-23 inch range. Still very good marks in that area. Water depth 42-55 feet holding the fish. What worked for us: Bandits w/2 oz at 125 back total. Speed 2.4-2.6. Bandits- Chrome, Purple and Firetiger.

Were you running only 4 boards because it was easier, or because you didn't know that you can run three lines per person now? Nice job, and a nice grade of fish too.

New to trolling and just bought my boat at the end of last year and have not invested in additional rod holders. I only use the boats four rod holders that angle the rods to the stern. Same when I fish TT40's or Dipseys. I post the number of lines used to justify how good or bad I do fishing. Really appreciate your posts Capt Juls. Always Great information!

Ahhhh...gotcha. Little tidbits of info like that always do help...

The reason I asked is, because my customers, yesterday, said the guy in the motel room next to them insisted that the rod rule was still at two per person. My guys tried to correct him, but he was insistant that he was right and everyone else was breaking the law by running more lines than two per person.

I'm sure there are more out there that don't know the regs changed back in January.
