eyeangler1, Good job! I have been trying to find them eyes and live just a few miles from RR and usualy launch from there. I have not been able get lucky with a walleye program that works. My program is usually trolling dipsey divers and stinger spoons around 1.8 - 2.5mph. My question is what dept were you targeting? Thanks
Brian,
I almost never have to work deeper than 24' and very often work the 18 to 20 foot depths. The thing to remember is that not ALL walleyes follow and travel with the food source. There are ALWAYS resident walleyes in the skinny water. One, at times, can come in with a great cooler, yet, at other times will come in with none or only a few. I personally don't have to come in with a limit every time out (although that would be sweeeeeeeet!

) Just work areas that you find have structure, drop offs, humps, etc. A gps is a must so you can watch your speed when trolling. There are also times they want a bait slower or faster, or a bait that is larger (RR 800's) or smaller (small hot-n-tots). Sometimes they can be in quite shallow, especially early morning just after sun-up. I usually don't work much shallower than 15' this time of year. You have to be able to "wade through" the farm animals, white perch and white bass

. Sometimes a big cat or a smallie will give you a good fight.
I usually don't use dipsey's in skinny water but will,
sometimes... use a 1 or 2 oz. weight.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
P.S. the pic to the left is of 27" and 28" walleyes which were 2 biggest of the 11 we caught that morning in the skinny water out of Rocky River last year about this time.
