The weather finally cooperated for us so Joe and I hit the water for some evening trolling for walleye. As we launched the boat at 8:30 p.m. the temperature was just around 70 degrees, down just slightly from a high today of 75. The wind was about 10 mph from the south, creating a nice "walleye chop" to the lake. The water temperature was at 72 degrees.
We were on the water for just over an hour and I had no luck at all using my hot-steel colored Minnow Rap, catching only one rock bass. Yes, I caught a rock bass while trolling.
Joe did better using his purpledescent #9 Minnow Rap. He caught a decent sized northern pike, and a 25 1/4" walleye -- the biggest walleye netted in my boat this season. Way to go Joe!
