Willard Thursday day trip.

Depending on how much line behind the ball and the size of the flicker shad you might want to run your downrigger ball 4-6 feet deeper than you mentioned . Most days the walleye are from bottom to 4-5 up and seem to like lures right in their zone. Wipers much more likely to be in the midrange 10-15 feet above bottom. As normal in fishing not always the case but very often this is what we are finding. The other thing try different depths if nothing in ten minutes try another, switch lures, speeds, colors turn often , stay in zones where you mark fish in finder it will pay off!
Good luck!
