Made it to the potholes and launched at the east end of the dam. I was a little hesitant due to the forecast of 16+ MPH wind with gusts of 30. This being my first time on the potholes in my own boat I wasn’t sure. So I went any way. Figured I could make a snatch and grab and be out and gone before it got blowing to hard. I am glad I did. I started up the lind coulee arm, and that is where I finished at 11am. I first tried pulling plugs. I am yet to catch a walleye on a plug. I am dying to figure this out so any pointers of when and how would be appreciated. So I made a pass heading east on the north shore line from the east side of the large sandy point that came way out into the channel. All the way up to what I would call a large sand bowl if you will. Not a bump so I went to what I know and I had a fish on in min. after switching to worm harness. I was in 35 FOW. I made the same troll down the north shore and picked up another fish. Each time I would make this long troll either way staying in 25-45 FOW I would pick up a fish. I would keep my speed up around 1.0 mhp, Water temp was 52 degrees which shocked me big time. Sure enough at 1030 or so it got a little breezy, and by 1100 it was blowing and I went in with five fish. When I got them cleaned it appeared that they have already spawned and are on the post spawn bite. Good times with my Ol’ pal Gus. Can’t wait for my next trip.

Have fun and be safe,
