April 20th Walleye - Point 5ish area

[Green236]

Trolled 3.5" Walleye Runners from 10a-2p. Caught two 21", one 20", and a 15". Also a black bass and snagged a sunfish. 15-20 fow off points. Water temp averaged 59. Brutal wind and clear water.

Both of these fish are 21"...measured them three times. One thick, the other skinny.

Doing better than I. Then again, I haven't really targeted walleye specifically for a while. The ones I have caught have been really skinny. Which is disconcerting. Hopefully there is nothing wrong?

Looking good!!

Those look great. I always struggle with getting my trolling speed down. Have fast do you think you averaged?

I went out with a friend in his new boat. The slowest it would troll with his Merc 115 4-Stoke was 3 mph. When trolled against the wind the speed was less, but he kept his graph on sonar so I'm not sure of the speed then. For some odd reason, I caught all the fish today and most were caught with the wind at 3 mph.

Ah this was that fully loaded Ranger? Man that thing had whistles for its whistles! Slick rig!

3mph??? What prop did you guys put on there? A 22? I run 2.6 and 2.7 typically but with the wind, 3mph can occur. He should be running a 20 or a 21 max.

This was another guy...with a Lowe 195 Stinger. The wind helped with that 3 mph but that seemed to be the winning speed today. 20 seems to be the magic # for the prop.

Ah. I see.

Yes. The 20 is just right on the Merc 115 four stroke.
