took a couple 1st timmers out for an evening troll. They never been on the lake before. Never been in a boat,never fished for or caught walleye..?.. winds looked ok..shouldnt be rough.. sure let's go see what we can do.
Started the spread at 6pm in 40fow. 5&6color lead on inline boards. 2 5color strait back and 2 dipsy on 0.5 out 50-65ft.
Not 1 bite til 58fow. Small laker off the board with gold RRF. Then nothing till 65. a double both boards and a dipsy hit but didn't stay pinned, almost a triple! Did another pass over same stretch another double. Spun around again and 4 lead lines start to curl over & shake, 3stay pinned. Marvalous! Keep cranking boys!
finished at 930 with 18 gems. Lost at least 6 at the boat. Lost a small laker. 2whitebass and 1 sheep. Many hits that just didnt hook up or stay hooked up.
Best rig by far for us was 5&6 off boards with gold RRF's. Followed by the 2 5color strait back sporting copper stingers in greasy chicky wing. Not much off the dipsy but a few mostly while set out 50ft.
Best day I have had this year out of the coke. Best day of fishing them grnhorns had ever seen. Beginner's luck perhaps.
Temp was 70° at 40fow & 72-73° in the 60fow range.
