I must have missed the fog this morning. Got out around 9:30 from the river mouth. Start trolling in 15' with crawlers and bouncers/keel weights. Start picking up fish at 17' going 1.5-1.7GPS. Radio traffic said plastic, but harness were great for me. Purple, firetiger, and gold/green. 3 man limit and just as many throw backs. Most fish came working into the wind (rough in my 17' foot boat)

Hey, when did the walleyes decide to start fighting? All were good fighters, kept thinking i had sheephead on. Is it just the water temp? 59grees

I agree, when fishing in a small lake for bluegil this morning, i hooked into a big walleye, ended up being a 26 incher and was about 7 lbs. Quite the fatty, but i have never had a walleye fight like that. I was using a 9' noodle rod with pretty light tackle, same stuff i use for river walleye though. Put up one heck of a fight and made a couple hard runs on me. Congrats on the fish!
