Using dipseys and spoons. trolled for 40min nothing then found a school, started itracks for .75mi. we got 4 in that distance, turned and followed it back and forth 4 times. kept 12, threw 2 smaller ones back and lost 3 walleye and 1 trout because they didn't fit in net. So I have to get a bigger net, don't mind loosing the walleye but they took 2 spoons with them.

Love that motor….well done Sab……too bad for losing the spoons but the trade off is some real good eats.

I went out this morning looking for bass but found pike. I think they were lost hanging about in the rocks instead of the salad…..lol.
