Willard Thursday day trip.

Started late around 11 am out of the north marina. Ran flicker shad and down riggers tell about 4pm. Caught 2 walleye and 6 wipers. Nothing big enough to to brag about. Fishing slowed for us around two. Fished 50 to 90 ft behind the boat 5 to 13 ft down.

Nice job I was out there Thursday also, caught 25eye 3 wipers and 1 jumbo perch, on cranks and bottom bouncers

Way to go Jason, nice haul. How fast were you trolling?

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!
