I decided to make a quick run to Deer Creek yesterday after putting some new seats and electronics on the boat, launched at the island about 12:30pm was trolling near the island getting use to my new electronics first pole bent over within 5 minutes of being in the water it was a chunky 15 inch rainbow continued trolling noticed some schools of baitfish in about 30 feet of water and suspended about 8-10 off the bottom found some good fish marks near the baitfish had a hunch they were suspended walleye switched bait to 4 and 5 inch rapalas one in rainbow trout pattern and one in a perch pattern trolled back through the areas I marked the baitfish and saw the rod with the rainbow pattern slowly start bending back sure enough it was a 17"-18" walleye zig zagged my way back through a few times and picked up 6 more walleye then couldnt find the baitfish anymore and my walleye fun was over but had some great fish to fillet. The rainbow pattern out did the perch pattern 5 to1

Great find, good sized. Better than my 12 inchers.
Im Surprised you found 30 feet by the island.
What was it like over by the tracks.
If your going this weekend you will have boaters to contend with. I choose week days.
Sounds like weather is going to be rainy this week
Good eating right there. Well done!
