    I was able to get out with a couple buddies on Sat., one who has never been on Mille Lacs or caught a walleye. I’m thinking the Empty Stringer must pull one out .

    Once the lines were set they look at me for more directions, I tell them to sit back, relax, and wait.It didn’t take long and I yell “Fish On”!! With a little coaching the newbie catches his first walleye, a nice 26″.
    At this point I realize we have no camera,what a dumb—.

    Not much later and the clicker starts screaming,”Fish On”!
    Troy grabs hold and I watch my trolling rod bend like never before. What seemed like a 1\2 hr later I finally get a net under her,a 29″ beauty.( No Camera-dumb—).

    Total for the day,21″ 23″ 26″ 29″ and two more lost just out of netting range.Good times were had by all and nobody got sea sick.

    Great report, nice fish. One doesn’t have to get “Sea” sick to be sick with fish like that and no camera. What kind and color cranks?

    E.S. sounds like your day was similar to ours. Concentrated most of our efforts on the north side. Found most of the fish suspended. Natural color cranks was our best option for the day. Varying the trolling speed and quarting the wind produced the most bites. Besides being suspended the fish were pretty well scattered out also. Some nice fish and enough bites to keep thing interesting. Bob Johnston with our second fish of the day.

    Lucky Dog, like Don we were running natural colors,our best was the Deep Tail Dancer. We were marking suspended fish but all were caught on the deep lines.
