We had our lines in the water before sunrise. Only 10% moon last night. Perfect “walleye chop” today. We tried various colors, depths, speeds, directions. Used only smaller cranks with snap weights, and spoons with divers.
First we tried the 38 fow hump that is 7 miles NW of the harbor – marked a lot of small fish and big blobs there but nothing looked like walleye.
Trolled our way east to the north end of the dump where it was bout 52 fow. Marked very few fish on the way. In the dump, we only marked small fish. However, a half a mile north of it we found a number of walleye-looking marks. A dozen boats were fishing within sight of that area. No biters for us. Maybe crawler harnesses would have worked? Maybe they weren’t even walleyes.
We gave up after half a day, but for the fun of it took a ride out to the weather buoy. Saw some very walleye-looking marks right next to it, but by the time we got our lines in the water they disappeared. Didn’t bother to turn around and try to find them again. Trolled SE from there for half an hour and then headed home.
