Thanks for the info fellas. How does one work a blade bait? Is it jigged? Slow trolled/rolled? Any live bait used?

Still having the fever, I've decided to add a little science into my walleye fishing this spring. I went looking around for historical data of average water temps of the western basin and could not find any. I can pretty much find ANYTHING on the net, but that one stonewalled me, much to my dismay. Anyone have a site for those readings?

I recently got lined up on a GPS/Sonar combo that I'm stoked to get ahold of. It will be a big upgrade from my old fish finder and handheld gps.

Getting ready to order a drift sock and a few new type III vests. I'll stave off the fever til late march, but it's gonna cost the wife some money and I make no promises after the 20th!
