Re: Couple Questions if someone could help.
20 min is about right if you trust your crew and have good marks on screen. Sometimes, you can be fishing below the walleye. This time of year on WB I like to start at top and work down.
I've had 2 occasions where a splash count got you fish and a 2 count got a blank. I had 2 guys on my boat and they just didn't get it the last time I experienced it. The date was first week in July after the 4th, maybe even the 5th. The winds were brisk out of NW and waves honest 2-4 footers. We were drifting with a sock at 1.1 or so. We had 4 fish in box after 2 hours and I figured out the splash count. It happened because I kept line tight enough when landing to detect a touch. Then I landed 6 keepers in 20 minutes myself. The other guys only 1 more each because they let it settle under the fish.
Splash count is turning over bail while lure is in air. Once it lands, pull to activate spinner then retrieve. Keeps bait in top 12 inches of water with high rod tip. How fish could find it with 2-4s in the top, I don't know but it was the most furious bite I've experienced.
