Birthday Walleye

This mornings time on the water was shortened due to a little seasickness šŸ¤¢

Pamela reached out for a Birthday gift for her husband Micheal.

We headed out with intentions of casting in shallow rocks, but shortly into our drift I suggested we switch to trolling to allow Pamela to better enjoy the morning.

Soon after setting  Spro 120 110 back with 2 oz, the Off Shore Tackle Company planner boards went back.

After resetting, the No 2 dipsey tripped and we had another nice Eye on FJ9 55 back.

The TruTrip 50 went back a few times with F7s 53 and 55 back.

We popped 8 and released a few shorts and they called it.  Back at the dock before 11.

Speed 2.5 mph.

Birthday Walleye

Rachel reached out to surprise Lawren with a Birthday gift of time together on Lake Erie.  

Although we were in light rain for a while, the fish didn't care.  During the rain we were on the little ones.  As the rain  dissipated our bite improved.

My stickbait program dried up today.  It took a bit to switch to something they wanted.

Lawren stepped up with a no doubt Personal Best as a Birthday Present.  She had a 31 1/2'+ Walleye.  

They got theirs and I got 2 in the clean-up.

Awesome time fishing with this couple today.
