At my job (Hewescraft) we have a loaner boat program for an 18' Sea Runner that employees can take out so I was the lucky guy this weekend. Friday a co-worker and I launched out of kettle falls and fished from noon till 7pm and boated 15 walleye. All of them were under 16" but I wasn't complaining. We fished north of the bridge and west of the island trolling the main river channel with bottom walkers in 40-65' of water. We did try trolling in Singers Bay for Pike but had no luck with that. I still want to catch one real bad. Saturday and Sunday I launched out of Hunters and tried going for Walleye but instead we were catching trout on bottom walkers in about 40' of water. I switched to a dodger and trolled the same depth but only 10' below the surface and kept catching trout. Fishing was kind of slow both Sat and Sunday but boated 7 trout over both days. While filleting them I discovered that their bellies were filled with crawdads which is something to note. We used worms all weekend for bait. Was a gorgeous weekend for fishing! Boy that Hewescraft boat was sure nice to use as well. It's so nice having a live-well.
