First time on the water there for us (other than a few ice fishing trips in the north marina) and we enjoyed getting out with the group. I had hoped for a walleye too, but it wasn't in the cards. I caught one of the wipers on a worm harness/bottom bouncer and the other on a short leader flig rig (pale perch with a mussel wrapped on with magic thread).
We trolled roughly parallel to the north dike (probably stayed within a hundred yards, sometimes closer) and caught one going and one coming back. Lots of lake went unexplored by us. Hopefully we can get back up there sometime this summer.
Nice wipers, too bad the walleye did not cooperate for you guys. It was good to meet you on Sat. Did you try trolling a little faster with crank? We caught our eyes going about 1.5 to 1.9 mph.
