Trolling has always been a good way for me to learn a lake. Sometimes I catch nice walleyes that way.

The lake was 78 degrees surface temp, calm, and almost completely empty of boats. Trolled for about three hours. The new Force tm does a great job.

The fist several runs, I ran the bait at 15' in 15 to 20' of water. After that I switched to 20' and ran it in 20 to 25' of water. What fish I marked were deeper, between 25 and 30 feet, and singles.

The fist hit was strong and the fish immediately started to take line. I tried to pretend it was a large hybrid bass or a record walleye, but I suspected the truth.

I finally landed this ugly gent. Just under 10 pounds.

That was the last hit as well.

               Neat Randy,

 Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.  I find flathead quite handsome. That is if you like the looks of a drill Sargent.

Nice flathead!  That's a great big net as well to make a 10lb cat look small. Sounds like you got a bit of exploring done.

Yes, I use a very big net. It makes me feel powerful,.
