Dave Brown & I went out and fought a strong east wind for nine hours and despite the wind and clear bluebird skies, we had another really good day trolling crankbaits.
We caught all our fish trolling near the bottom in 18-23' of water. We did have to cover a lot of ground but it was definitely worthwhile in the end.
Our best trolling speed was between 2.1 to 2.3mph or as close to that as we could get. The wind did make that a little difficult at times.
By days end, we caught 22 walleyes & saugers. Dave easily kept his limit of keepers between 15-20" long. Five of the rest were over 20" long and only three were shorter than 15" long. Dave also caught & released a 35" northern pike. Thanks much for releasing that nice pike!
