hope this helps also get out at 5:30 am all the big ones were caught early
eyecrazy, Thanks! That was a big help. I've read that walleye's are nocturnal fish, so I figured night fishing would have some success as well, but its much more difficult.

Reading this makes me want to go out and try this technique tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, work gets in the way of that idea.

How do you determine your location in the morning? Generally, I use the other boats as guides to determine where the best fishing is on the lake at the time, however, at that point, I've already most likely missed all of the excitement. Now that the weather is getting warm,scratch that....HOT, does that change your initial casting location?

Again, thanks for the post. You're helping out a newcomer.
