Also no trout were harmed in the catching of these walleyes. We didn't catch any.

3/23/2021 12:09:36 PMPeter; I was using a slow death hook with half a nightcrawler. I rarely use a full nightcrawler as I find it just leads to half a worm being stolen; that's just me but I have caught some very nice double digit eyes on just half a nightcrawler. Also, a lot of our bites were just fish holding on and swimming along with the boat. We had to pay attention to our rods just slowly loading up and when that happened I just quickly started to reel in order to set the hook. We caught fish trolling as slow .5 to .8. They definitely wanted a slow presentation on Sunday.

3/24/2021 5:36:26 PMI remember fishing for years at Ft Spokane with nobody around, very secluded, lots of fish to catch and nobody around to share it with. Now the parking lots are full and lots of boats everywhere to talk with and fishing real close too. Very fun competition. Thank you Mark for helping lots and lots of people enjoy this paradise. Giving locations lure colors etc has been beneficial for many many many people. Great job!

3/25/2021 7:14:37 AMI just give general suggestions. Everyday is different on the water. One day chartreuse is the best color the next day it's something else. Based on the people I talk to at the ramp and their lack of success, there are a lot of new walleye fishermen. If I can give them suggestions to help them catch some eyes, then why wouldn't I. The only reason my buddies and I have some success is because we fish Roosevelt year round and mostly have a pretty good idea of where to look depending on the time of year.
