Fathers Day on the Bay

[walleyemaster]

Went out at 7 am with my son and set up 2 1oz in-lines (40' back) and 2 3oz BB (60' back), Plus 1 rod off the stern with 4oz BB (80' back). Trolled at 1.5 - 1.7 MPH (ground speed). Limited by noon, with 9/10 fish in the excellent eating size (17"-20"). Only threw back 5 or 6 dinks and didn't shepherd as much as usual (except my son nailing a 8 lb'r!). 6 fish came off the rod in the back of the boat using 4oz BB, blue beads and hammered chrome #4 blade harness. Only 2 fish came off the in-lines. Other fish hit purple beads/hammered purple blade and light pink beads/hammered pink blade.

Heard about white and tigereye blades hitting pretty good on VHF #68 but only got 1 eye on that color.

All in all - a Father couldn't ask for a better Fathers Day...

I was probably about 1 mile east and just north of sparkplug trolling with the current (west-east in morning) in 18 - 19 FOW. I heard Priority 1 on #68 throughout the day fishing in +35 FOW, but couldn't figure out where you got those +15 fish...
