Your doin everything right. You can't catch a fish on the couch. The walleyes are a funny fish, one day on fire, next day your gonna work to get em. It is just getting good for the cast bite, trolling always produces faster fish, just because you cover alot of territory. Stick with it, you will someday master the eyes !!! Get with someone that trolls. There's alot of learning on these fella's charters. Alot of captains have a walk-on-day charter usually costing 60-75 bucks a day. Cheap when your learning to do what you need, not to mention , taking home some fish. On that other site, www.walleye.com, theres a few that offer a trip. Mike
