WC here is a thot.....a friend of mine took a 5 gallon bucket and drilled some holes in it and tied it to a cleat and tossed over the side....that will slow u down or buy some drift bags.
Diamond City is a good area for walleye fishing the bite must have been bad wen u were there.....Peel is another good area of the lake, u have Wagon Wheel resort to stay at and 125 marina for all your gas, snacks and tackle needs.
