When casting the harness, the walleye hit the bait normally when it changes speed at the half way around point, and just after that. The trick is slow reeling " SLOW". You are not cranking a bass spinnerbait. I teach this every trip. Flat days in June I dont normally count longer than 8-10 sec. Get some on a 2 count "splash". Keep the boat noise down on flat days. I make a long return route when going back for another drift. Everyday is still alittle different in some way. More casts equal more fish.
