Thanks for the report, glad you had some success out there. One thing I can suggest, that might help, if you are after more walleye, try getting your lures down deeper by letting out more line around 110 ft to 150'. If you have snap weights, use one to two oz weights. Some members use 2 oz Bottom bouncers to get their lures down deeper. I like lead core line to get my lures down near the bottom. When using weights or lead core line you can also run worm harness, even at those faster speeds. Of course since you are using down riggers, getting down near the bottom, should not be a problem, just make sure you let out lots of line, as mentioned, because the motor noise can scare the fish.
