We started at about 9:30 am.
In first hour we had 3 bites. We missed one.
Classic lures worked for us:
my favorite Mann's stretch 20+ chrome blue original ( not newest holographic )
Reef runner Erie decent
Rapala DHJ12 in whitish color.
We did not have a bite till 3 p.m. It became cloudy & darker.
I had Reef Runner in dark purple color and gold flakes on the belly.
Reef runner web site does not even show this color.
Friend of mine shouted, we have a fish on outer planner board.
After short shakes line broke and planner board started drifting away.
Palundra captain loudly said. And the team started pulling the rest of rods back to boat.
To our surprise we could easily find this planner board.
The magic came after. I had the rest of my line to the lure, still attached to planner board.
I started pulling this line by hand. And guess what?
I pulled 28 inch walleye with my lure by hand. Fish was so tired that it did not resist at all.
