Going to tough out the weather for possibly the last time tonight with my mother... We got out on Tuesday night this week and missed the action everyone else was getting. We started in 40' FOW north of the breakwall and worked our way towards and from the breakwall with only two hookups. Everyone else I heard from limited no problem. We ran P10's HJ14 and reefrunner 700's 20-35' back at 1.8-2.0 mph...

Trying to get better numbers tonight and show my mother a nice night of walleye fishing-
I feel with all of the steelhead we've been going for the past few months we forgot how to get into the eyes!!

Any recommendations on what we could have done better and do tonight? Shorter leads? Less speed?

Maybe try a Rapala F18 to stay higher in the water column............

Gave it go with the shorter leads and worked the shallows due to the wind-we only ended up with two one being a 8.4 lb monster on the last reel in... missed more than we caught was running 1.7-1.8mph P10's and HJ14 10-20 back. Heard at the docks that some people did really well and others did not.. looks like the mistake tonight was too much speed
