Beaver to Powersite

Took the old man down for some trolling. Started off the morning in 80 degree water. Caught a nice Largemouth right off the bat. should have been a 4+ fish but it was pretty skinny and i would guess around 3lb.   Kept on trucking and of course a 17" walleye. Let him Go and trolled on to get a solid 20".  Morning got real slow so we ran up to Barker and had no luck water temp still 80.  Decided to ride up to the dam for the heck of it (needed a boat ride to cool off) not much wind to speak of.  Water temp at the dam was 58, I was surprised how much it cooled down in that short distance... Anyhow ran back where we caught the Walleye and got anpother 20.5" and lost another that would have kept.      We had three rods out 2 with flicker shads and flicker minnows and had no luck what so ever.   The baith that caught every fish was a Luck-E-Strike Freak in the big version in the sexy shad color or whatever they call it at luck-e-strike.   I would make one big long cas behind the boat and that was it. It would hit bottom in 21 feet so i kept the boat in 25-30 the whole day......Also found a small yellow perch belly up so i netted him. He was still breathing so i threw him in the well to see if i could revive him to let go.   That didnt work so we made a couple fish nuggets out of him, hate to see one go to waste.

Heck everytime i go "walleye fishing" i end up with everything but Walleye..  Check out that bait though it is like a deep diving square bill.  Kinda expensive at BPS close to $9..  But they are reasonable on tacklewarehouse
