I got out again Thursday, (thank goodness) with my neighbour and brother in law who is coming along nicely. 
Weird day based on details, results were great. Three person limit +plus, sun, minimal waves, NO BUGS, and a great time for all.
Details.....
Started in 58, wandered around various depths, everything appeared shallow, 35 ft and up.
Starboard vs Port, starboard sucked and completely under produced. Thank goodness for port.
It was a sunny day and yet UV lures out produced standard lures by far. RRF batted 0 once again.
Most "go to" lures were lackluster, new (to me) glo Warrior Flutter Spoons show promise. Orange Crush a standout producer once again.
I picked up a number of Anti Freeze spoons over the Winter, (no pun intended) they seem to work when things get tough. They worked when everything else had gone cold, again.
Out Starboard dipsy 3, black dipsy, various lengths back, a variety of spoons = zero, ziltch, nada.
In Starboard dipsy 1.5 copper, various lengths, variety spoons, 2 walleye, 1 undesired
D/RIgger 33 - 40 down, 30 - 100 back = 1 walleye, slider = 4 walleye
L core, 5 colours = 6, 4 walleye, 2 undesired
In Port Dipsy 2 black, various lengths back = 6, 4 Walleye 2 undesired
Out Port Dipsy 3 purple, various lengths = 7, 6 walleye 1 undesired
Here's the cooler after the BIL took his six home...
There are only twelve in there, all overs and undesired set free.
And here's my grandson finally getting the nerve to stand beside a very nice Walleye.
Easing him in gently, he's not very impressed with fishing so far.
Hopeful for years to come.
