Found some time to clear the spider webs off the boat and get out for a couple hours yesterday.
Set up of of Georgia shore and worked down towards Eagle Mt. Just past the mountain we turned out towards Savage. Picked up the only fish of our day, a 22" walleye. The walleye hit a #2, copper blanked, orange, red, yellow etc, spoon, 60' down and 12' back over 140 fow.
We switched up to a walleye program about dusk and trolled up the east side of Savage then ran up and trolled in from the can off Ball Is. No luck either place.
I haven't been out since late April early May and was suprised about how little bait we marked in our travels. A pod here and a pod there but that was it.

Thanks for the report. There has been a few walleyes caught in that area while trolling for salmon this year. I might have to try for them during the day.

The bait down here has been sitting on the bottom and coming up at dusk...Huge mounds once they show themselves...

That's what I'm used to too but I couldn't find em. When I say sitting on the bottom, I mean almost part of it... If I didn't know the bottom where I was, I would have thought that I was looking at a gradual 'hump', but as I knew where I was to be flat and even, I know that the 'humps' were bait...I watched them come up into tall humps by going back and forth across them as the sun went down... All 5 shakers I got last night (been more than a week for a legal Salmon for me) came up puking 3 inch smelt...

I was out on Friday afternoon for a couple of hours. I set up heading towards the Milton shore, then headed north past Eagle Mtn. I was amazed at how many small balls of bait I saw just off bottom. I was in 80 to 90 feet of water. In two hours, I was 0 for 0. I think I'll give it another try on Wendesday afternoon.
